Week Twenty-Nine: Porno for Pyros - "Pets" - Porno for Pyros

Week Twenty-Nine marks the fifteenth anniversary of my first, and only, time to see Jane's Addiction in concert at the Fair Park Coliseum on November 18, 1997 - sorry it's so difficult to see the ticket stub; it faded like crazy... I am also going throw in some Porno for Pyros this week since that was one of Perry's other noble efforts:

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I'm sure that I've mentioned this multiple times already, but being a junior high teacher is one of the most difficult jobs that I have ever had. Not only do I have to deal with piss-poor attitudes and emotional immaturity, but when you also factor in all the puberty issues, it just produces great amounts of drama and pandemonium at any given moment!!!

And don't even get me started on their totally inappropriate questions... I have been asked everything from: "Do you think the Pope masturbates?" to "Can I draw testicles on my alien?" - at least that kid meant tentacles, but I'm guessing that he had testicles on the brain. 

At one point, a student asked me if I thought that Martians were real. I wasn't exactly sure how to answer that one because it is not always easy to determine the sincerity behind their questions. However, for whatever reason, this song popped into my head. I explained that I absolutely thought that they were, and if they ever decide to come down here, they will do a far better job than we have done... and we'll make great pets. The look on the kid's face was priceless... she never asked me my feelings about Martians again!!

Children are innocent
A teenager's f*cked up in the head
Adults are even more f*cked up
And elderlies are like children

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they
Ever did
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!

We will make great pets
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We will make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
We'll make great pets!
