A couple of nights ago, I commented on a Facebook thread started by Sheepshead Bites, regarding media coverage of the guns bust in Gravesend over the weekend:

You know which hawt lesbian schoolteachers I mean. James Madison High School (Midwood, Brooklyn) teachers Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro, accused of getting it on in an empty classroom while the schoolkids were in an assembly.

Who doesn’t remember these two? Indeed, this is what was going through my mind at the time.

Dayum. Now why didn’t any of MY schoolteachers look like that?

Seriously. My son is only in second grade, and he’s already had three more attractive teachers than I had through twelve. I’m seriously jealous.

One of the beautiful things about New York is, if you don’t like the news, wait ten minutes.

The day is almost here – the special election to fill the City Council seat vacated by Simcha Felder is tomorrow, March 23. Polls are open from 6am to 9pm. The candidates on the official ballot – which keep changing every single time I look – will be David Greenfield (D), Joe Lazar (D), and Ken Rice (R).

Not sure if you live in the 44th District? Check out this hyper-detailed district map. Better yet, you can enter your information using a search form provided by the state Board of Elections (Council Districts are the same thing as “wards” on the voter information page). You can also use the state web site to find your polling place.

I will chime in with my final thoughts on this race tomorrow at 6am – when polls open 2pm. See you then!

To my surprise, Midwood High School (one of two Brooklyn high schools with prestige and a high academic aptitude when I was a Bensonhurst teen) has made a lot of improvements since my departure. For starters, the most noticeable change is the overpass that connects the main building on the south side of Bedford Avenue and Campus Road to the new(er?) annex building across the street on the north. It’s actually quite impressive how this new “gateway” shapes the school into a more campus-like environment. Also, I’m sure the overcrowded classrooms problems I faced when I was a student here nearly a decade ago were relieved from this new addition.

Once I was inside to retrieve my high school transcript for some leisure classes at the neighboring Brooklyn College, a quick flashback of a teenage version of myself with a wornout Jansport backpack filled my head. Seeing the familiar wall decor only added to this nostalgia. I managed to walk pass a plaque from my personal High School Musical days when the senior class won the annual musical competition- fun times.

After getting my transcript and seeing what an average student I was (an 80.7 average), I realized it was not a dreaded visit as I thought it was going to be, I was actually quite glad I got to see my old stomping grounds. Perhaps my my fear stemmed from the same fear you get when you’re about to see an ex…
