With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

First of all, let me say that I am pretty excited that I have followers, now.  However, I'm feeling a little anxious because I have to make sure I keep this blog thing up and keep it pretty impressive.  It kinda reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Spiderman, when that old guy says "with great power comes great responsibility"...or was it the grandmother that said that?  Either way, this is so true.  I mean, I am controlling what you are reading right now...at this very moment...and I have to be pretty responsible about it.  I mean, I could say that all of my followers must send me $500 each.  But, that wouldn't be very responsible, would it?  Unless you just want to...Anyway, speaking of power, a hurricane basically passed over our house last night.  Nature and all its glory is a beautiful thing, but lets face it, the timing really affected my REM cycle.  I was right in the middle of dreaming about random things like laser cats when mac-truck force winds and lightning woke me up.  Since my bed is right next to a window, I tried to come up with a plan B.  Plan B didn't work out since it consisted of sleeping in the hallway- real uncomfortable.  So, I moved on to plan C- crawling back in the bed and pulling the covers over my head and trying to go to sleep without my sound machine (since the power was out).  As much as I would have loved to stay up all night, I knew that I had to get some sleep since I have a performance tonight.  Responsibility.  Since a baby hurricane covered the state last night, students didn't have to come to school today.  Why?  No power.  No power=no responsibility!  However, all of us magnificent teachers had to show up.  Why?  We are the ones with the powers to mold young minds= uber loads of responsibility.  So, I now sit in front of my classroom window, typing and not doing responsible things like making copies, checking cds and mps...etc...Why?  Well, the power went out about 10 minutes ago.
