The “Insane” People I have been affiliated with in my Life

Blog Entry No. 3

My definition of insane in this blog is really a term of endearment for the people I admire.  I will begin by listing fictional names for the “insane” people I have met in my life.

Mr. “G”

Mr. Jim

Flower

Shimmy Dude

The Quack

Mr. G is a really amazing guy full of useless trivia.  He wears little round glasses with thick lenses that make his eyes look small; almost like peas.  He loves the outdoors and is very enthusiastic about Native American flute and useless information and other random stuff.  But I learned a lot from Mr. G.  I learned a ton of useless information that he read from books.  Mr. G taught me to play the Native American Flute that I can play with my nose.  He taught me how to pick good role models to fashion my life after.  He taught me that if you dress the part, walk the part, you become the part.  He taught about mental energy and how it can affect me and others around me such as optimism.  Just thinking an optimistic thought can help me start conversations with others and can in turn change my life.

Mr. Jim.  Mr. Jim is a very strong man who didn’t allow me to be anything but myself and the best I can be.  Mr. Jim is athletic and super calm.  I do not count him as “insane” per se, but he is a great guy and I look up to him.  Mr. Jim taught me how to be more patient and how to be calmer.

Flower.  Flower used to babysit me and has grown to be my tutor.  I once locked her out of the house by taping the door with duct tape.  But that was only because she suggested that I use Duct Tape.  I first tried to tape the door with electrician tape.  Flower is small and wears cat ears.  She reads Manga and watches Animes and listens to all sorts of music; especially foreign.  Flower likes the colors purple, blue, black and silver.  She has a dog named Lightning and a Cockatoo named Joey who tells her she is “bad.”  Flower is from California and she taught me to eat Sushi. 

Shimmy Dude.  Shimmy Dude is extremely random.  Shimmy Dude is bald.  He is always singing and doing the Shimmy in class.  He taught me what a Flash Mob is.  Shimmy Dude is my hero.  Shimmy Dude is helping me realize I do not have to be perfect and that he thinks a great deal of me even if I make mistakes.

The Quack.  The Quack is a hoot.  He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.  Whenever I ask him a question, he makes a quack noise.  If the Quack were a color he would be turquoise because he is calm and laid back and has a really tender heart – especially for kids that are having struggles.  He is not afraid to talk to you as long as you need it.
