You can't believe it; you were always singing along.

I'm taking an online English class this semester. It's been interesting. All of my assignments and lectures are posted online, and the stumble button is ever so welcoming... It's been pretty hard staying on task. Those of you that know me know that I am so so good at putting my school work off. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to become active on Facebook again as a way to procrastinate my homework, and now I get on it a few times a day. Sunday afternoon, while I should have been working on my midterm paper or even my art portfolio, I planted sunflower seeds in our yard. This morning, I didn't want to do my work so badly that I started up twitter again. I'm telling you guys, it's bad.Anyway, the point of this post is not to tell you how awful I am, but to tell you about something so shocking that happened to me today. So, in an online class, you do everything over the computer. You have no way of seeing your classmates or the professor. Well, we had to fill out profile information, including a picture of ourselves or any picture that represented us/we liked. The Professor has been very into the idea of putting ourselves out there as much as we can, and is very willing to tell us about himself as well. He seems like a nice guy and he's kinda funny in a nerdy way, if you know what I mean. He put a picture of Captain Ron as his profile picture. He's thirty two. He has said of himself that he was a cat person until he got married 6 years ago, and has been forced into being a dog person. He's a black belt in karate. He's a self professed geek, and loves comic books, video games, watchdogging America, and writing. In response to a couple of my "getting to know you" assignments he told me he loved my comment that Nickelback is a bigger threat than global warming, but thinks that energy drinks are a bigger threat and let me know that he mostly agrees with my taste in music and LOVES Regina Spektor. And his teaching platform is based on how messed up marketing and advertisement is, how politics are involved, it's destroying our lives, etc. etc.
Do you have a mental image of this guy yet? This is something like what mine looked like:
Basically, a conservative white nerdy-looking English teacher type, right? Well, today I had to turn in my Midterm assignment to him in person on campus, and this is what I saw:
(He's the one on the left and he looks like he's half black or something).
My mind was blown. This guy totally disproved like, 4 stereotypes at least. Anyway, I'm so shocked that I don't think I can possibly do anymore homework for a week.
