i'm imPOtant

i know that reads bad.  it sounds as if i am divulging some deep dark secret, but i am not. i am listening to the way things sound in my head. there are words in there that, when spoken aloud, never sound like my thoughts. kinda like in my head i have a fantastic scottish accent, but when i test it out on tony i sound like a grunting gnome from hoboken that is all kind of wrong. when i read my blog title it sounds exactly like the theme song from flipper, but aloud i get looks that say i am a freakazoid.

so this saying that streams in my head is something tony's pop says.  he is important you know.  but he says it with his chin jutting up, his hand on his bare chest (dude likes his shirt unbuttoned so you can see his beautiful belly) and exclaims 'i'm imPOtant!'.  when i think of the letter i just received that solidifies the fact that i am too i hear the words in his voice and inflection.

that little 'ol letter is my third that has relieved me from jury duty because, (and i quote my request for deferment here), removing me from the classroom for any length of time will be detrimental to the learning and success of the youth of Pasco. 

SEE? important!

my brother says i am tangential too.
