Wash Your Mind

Hello Fans, I'm hoboclown here.Now that school is open,Flash is questioning what is taught in schools.Here's what he has to say- I attended the old and new schools but nobody ever taught me all that I really needed to know.Think about it. In early childhood your parents and teachers told you to wash your face and hands with soap and water several times a day.They also told you to groom yourself.But they didn't tell you what you needed to know!. They also told you to wash your booty.If that was an early lesson to learn, then how come so many politicians don't know their butts from a hole in the ground? If you don't know where your booty is-ask your momma! Later in life when I learned to drive a car the car mechanics told me to change my car oil every 3 thousand miles.Well, humans are more complicated than cars but nobody told me when to change my mind! If you wash your hands and face with soap and water several times a day, should you wash your mind also? Well, the answer is YES ! The secret is knowing how to do it. I saw a teenager the other day wearing a Tee shirt that read -OUTTA MY MIND-BE BACK IN 5 MINUTES . I had my ahaaaahhh moment. I learned a long time ago that if you leave your mind for a few minutes everyday you can re-energize yourself and focus better later. Some teachers called it,DAYDREAMING and they don't like it when you do it because it feels good to you but not to them.They think you're ignoring them. Later I learned that I could wash my mind of the troublesome thoughts that cluttered it up by staring ( for a few minutes) at a small dot on the wall and screening everything else out. This was similar to daydreaming and gave my mind a needed cleansing and rest. Washing my mind this way helped me to study and do my very best hoboclown detective problem-solving! So if you're a student and you really want to do well in school-you have to periodically wash your mind ! _________ Well, Flash has made my day.How about yours? It's already a cool indian summer day in Philadelphia,PA so you know what to do!Until next time- Love, ~Hoboclown~ Copyright 2006
