The Tragic School Bus | Taul, a rant
https://taularant.com/2012/11/01/the-tragic-school-bus
Taul, a rant. The Tragic School Bus. The Tragic School Bus. November 1, 2012. Surely there are passionate people in this world. Surely there are people who take a stand when push comes to shove, when backed into a corner, when faced with a dilemma! Then why do I always feel like I’m the only one sticking my neck out or whose head is on the chopping block? Enough with the clichés, you say! I am at it again! You may ask, “where. I asked the school to provide supervision. I heard crickets, as they say.

Who | Taul, a rant
https://taularant.com/who
Taul, a rant. Rants written by Jessica Taul. As Jack Kerouac wrote, “the east of my youth and the west of my future”. I grew up in eastern rural Kentucky, but migrated to California at the ripe age of 24 and have lived in California for over 15 years, with short detours through Tennessee, North Carolina, Nebraska, Texas and Ohio. Californian, just not native. I love it for the diversity in people, bringing together all kinds of people, cultures, food, and traditions. This is my rant. Got something to add?

Taul, a rant. It Happens Every Year. It Happens Every Year. July 5, 2012. My daughter has yet to have her first job, so she doesn’t understand the annual company picnic and the semi-obligation it represents to adults. Why it can be important. So, last night when I tried to explain my excitement about going to my dad’s company picnic every year throughout my childhood, Paige was unconvinced. It was a day made in heaven and corndogs. This year, and for the 3. For your willingness to go see people you work ...

Taul, a rant. Fill Your Bucket List. Fill Your Bucket List. August 23, 2012. Overheard at some retail store or another, a teenager was talking to her friend:. What’s on your bucket list this weekend? My sister has mentioned hers; a friend who’s 10 years younger mentioned fulfilling one of his recently – to make a music video. I don’t even have a list. Late to the party again. It can’t really be that hard, can it? Is it as simple as things I haven’t done but want to? What if I can’t think of anything that...

Taul, a rant. The Conundrum of Me. The Conundrum of Me. February 14, 2013. That’s all life seems;. I think I’ll go. The beginning of a poem I wrote in high school in the early 80’s appropriately reflects how I still feel today. So, in some ways, I feel that I’ve met my goal. (aka rationalization). But most of us are creatures of habit. From our children’s first breaths, we parents are supposed to provide routines for our kids. Routines provide stability, trust, comfort, safety, surety. I get bored. I...

https://taularant.com/2012/08/10/the-potatoes-of-champions
Taul, a rant. The Potatoes of Champions. The Potatoes of Champions. August 10, 2012. What do the Olympics make you feel? Proud of those who represent your country, i.e. nationalism? Amazed at the speed, the bodies, the determination? Wistful for your youth? In some ways, I feel all of the above. Watching the summer games makes me so proud of. So much so that I cheer for anyone who is competing (let alone winning), with no regard to country colors or flags being waved. Of course, I said no one. I’m sure t...
