Road Trip Playlist

For a lack of better things to do, here's a list that I think would be perfect for anything that involves a vehicle and the road.

(This list is in no particular order. Think of it as Shuffle mode.)

1. Highway Star by Deep Purple
It's a fast paced song with a bitchin' guitar and organ solo. And some people believe this song might be the first thrash metal song [citation needed]. Anyway, just don't get caught up with the speed, or your trip might end up in the...

2. Highway to Hell by AC/DC
You see what I did there? The transition? Yeah, moving on.
This song is CLASSIC. Not a lot of explanation needed here.

3. Where Ever I May Roam by Metallica
This is one of Metallica's slower songs. Great for drives at night, when you're all alone, not knowing where to go. If you want a faster pace, the remix of this song featured in The Blackest Album: An Industrial Tribute is just right for you.

4. Drive by The Cars
Again, another slow song. So, you broke up with your special someone, or had some bad day. Now what? Who's gonna drive you home?

5. Day Tripper by The Beatles
Catchy song, and kinda hides some sort of drug reference. Just don't drive while on drugs.

6. Country Roads by John Denver
If you noticed that the list went slower and slower, my apologies. They're just songs that are off the top of my head that have something to do with travelling by road.
This is a good homecoming song, especially if you live in West Virginia.

7. Trip to Jerusalem by The Eraserheads

This is a song by one of the Philippines' most iconic bands. And it's in English. If you want something in Tagalog by this band that has something to do with driving, Overdrive is the song for you. My dad actually finds this song very funny.

8. The Roadrunner Show theme song
Two words: beep beep.

9. Bicycle by Queen
It's got a vehicle. It's involves travelling. The song is actually good. Don't question my logic. Ever.

10. Go Speed Racer Go from the Speed Racer cartoon
I told you to never question my logic.

More songs will be added sooner or later. Just post your suggestions with your comments.

Tired

I am tired. I need a vacation. Bored of home. Bored of routine. Change stalled and was shot before it could even walk in the door. Change better get its act together. Change better do something, or I will do something to Change.

I need to swim away from this storm of ennui. My brain became stagnant, like the waters where mosquitoes thrive and survive. I am sick. Not physically, but almost. My mind is sick. My acuteness of the senses, gone. Gone much like Change. I need a vacation.

This Is My Lesson Plan, and It's Fucked Up (if you're a teacher, you'd know why)

Note: I am trained to teach high school, not elementary. This lesson is for elementary, and I will not teach this, fearing that I will turn idiots out of my pupils. I'm sticking to high school. At least those kids have the proper schema to think and scaffold new ideas.

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. Differentiate words with soft Gg sound and hard Gg sound.
2. Pronounce the soft Gg and hard Gg sound correctly.
3. Identify words with soft Gg and hard Gg sound.
II. Subject Matter:
Topic: The hard Gg and soft Gg sound.
Reference: Basic Guide in Reading (P), Corazon S. Reyno, pgs. 15-16
Materials: flash cards, pictures
Values Infusion: Active participation.
III. Procedure:
Preparation
a. Prayer
b. Greeting
c. Checking of attendance
Developmental
a. Motivation - Ask the class to give examples of names that start with G. Ask the class if they notice the difference of the sounds of the different names.
b. Presentation - The teacher will explain the G sound, and how it's sound changes, that the soft Gg is pronunced as a "j" and the hard Gg is pronounced as "g".

c. Application - Activity:
The teacher will now show pictures of words with soft G and hard G sounds. The learners will read these words. Then, they will divide the words whether they have the soft G or hard G sound.
d. Generalization - The teacher will ask what the pupils have learned.
IV. Evaluation:
Teacher will post more words on the board. This time, the learners will write on a sheet of paper whether they are of the soft G sound or hard G sound. After this, the class will check their work.
V. Assignment: Post pictures on the board. The pupils will guess the name of such objects depicted on the pictures, and decide whether they have the hard G and soft G. It'll be written on a sheet of paper, and the answers will be recited next meeting.
