So, because I am such a nice guy, I told my Algebra I class (made up of mostly Freshman) that they could earn extra credit if they brought something to hang up in the class. Well, that and I needed something to hang on my wall in my classroom. Kill two birds with one stone. Below are the awe-inspiring pictures my students brought in. The only requirement was it couldnt be anything Pittsburg Steelers (once you live with 2 Steelers fans youll know what I mean) and absolutely no University of Michigan (who would want any of that ugly stuff anyway.) So here we go. Enjoy.
Tick, tick, boom bitches
Is that a cat playing a banjo. Why, yes it is.
I'm the bomb, yo.
I think this has a deep meaning. Maybe not.
Not bad. I dont get it but not bad.

Mr. Holliday aint playing and Kate nags me from 3000 miles away
Well, I had a great blog planned for this weekend, but I left my camera at school with all my cool pics. So look for a blog on Monday night with some pretty interesting pictures.
This week at school was very frustrating. I have a class with 28 guys and 2 girls. At the start of the year, I thought this would by my favorite class. I went to an all guys school and student taught at an all guys school. Well, I was terribly wrong. This class gets out of control fast. And it all starts with one student. Ill call him Andrew. Now, Andrew is very disrespectful and refuses to do any work. I got on him at the beginning to try to keep him focused but it didnt work. This week, it got to its boiling point. I kicked him out of class 3 times this past week for being disrespectful, bothering the other students and not giving any effort. I dont like kicking him out but he needs to realize that Mr. H aint playing around. Ill keep you updated on the situation.
After a very long week at school, I went to the grocery store Friday afternoon. I am looking for the cheapest place. I found a real nice market called Smith's. I did all my shopping and found found a jar of pasta sauce that said Kroger on it. I was so shocked because I hadnt seen any Kroger. I asked the cashier where the nearest Kroger was and she replied "Uh, I dunno, the Midwest?" The Midwest. Really, thats the best answer she could give me. After that excellent advice, I hope in the Altima and drove to Kroger. Oh wait, no I didnt because the closest Kroger was somewhere in the Midwest. Thanks for nothing.
For those who dont know, my girlfriend Kate is a little OCD. And by a little OCD, I mean she nags me about stuff I dont care about because it bothers the shit out of her. It can be stuff like not shutting drawers, not driving up to her standards or not washing my hands 45 times a day. Did I mention that she is beautiful and the best girlfriend ever. Well, when I was at the store getting my groceries, I found myself watching how the bagger put the food in the bags. Before I met Kate, I couldnt have care less how the food got bagged. To be honest, when I worked at Target, I didnt care how I bagged the food. Now, I can hear Kates voice yelling at me about what goes in what bag and what cant be in bags together. I think this is the first case of a girlfriend telepathically nagging her boyfriend from 3000 miles away. Well played Katelyn, well played.
Stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions.

Katy Perry finds a partner, I travel back in time and much more
Well, Katy Perry has turned it up a notch. After writing my blog about her ruining my life, it looks like she has found a partner in crime. The last few days have been non-stop Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Its like they have joined forces to try to ruin my life. They are like an evil WWE tag team set to Laughlin to ruin my time. They are the Mega Powers. Katymania and Gaga Madness. Touché ladies, touché.
So today is Saturday and I decided to take a trip down to the Riverside Casino to catch a flick. 30 Minutes or Less was an OK movie with some funny parts. Overall not bad. After I left, I decided to a look around the casino to see what I could find. I kept getting the feeling like I was in 1984. Maybe it was the smoking inside (which I am not used to anymore), the tackiest carpet I have ever seen or maybe it was this poster inside the Riverside. Take a good look at the "celebrities" on this poster. Thats a David Hasselhoff, Charo and maybe Joan Rivers? These are the celebrities being advertised at Riverside. All they need it Eric Estrada, Chyna and Ron Jeremy and we could have the return of The Surreal Life. After I left the casino, I walked to my car, only to see a marquee promoting the return of Huey Lewis and the News. Maybe this was a blast from the past. Where was Marty McFly, Dr. Emmitt Brown and the Dolorian to get me back to the future. Unfortunately, I didnt have my camera to take a picture of Huey and his friends (idiot).
After my eventful morning, I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food. Up until this point, I was living the bachelor life. It was Chef Boyardee and Campbell's Soup for me. Heres the perfect example of my life without a woman (my mom or Kate) to help me out. Yea that is paper plates and paper bowls. Dont hate, I am practically a cave man. But I picked my game up a little bit and stocked up. Check out the results...
No more paper for the Scorpion King
Shake and Bake Baby!
Hi Ya Champ!
Yea thats two Tony's Pizza and some random meat.
The Four Horsemen. WOOOO!
Stocked Fridge (Drinks, turkey, salad and cookies in a bag. Talk about a hell of a lunch)
Now on to some more serious topics. I decided to write this blog because I thought it would help me pass the time. The positive support from those of you who do read and let me know you like it on Facebook means the world to me. I am doing my best to be funny and entertaining but I thought only my mom would like the blog. However, I am really enjoying writing it and hope you keep letting me know if you like it. I have done my best to keep this blog fun but being out here isnt all fun for me. It has been really, really hard. I am grateful to have the opportunity to start my career; at the same time, I am sad its no longer possible to be around those who I love.
As the summer wore down, I was preparing to go back to school, work on my Master's and continue to sub. My family, friends and girlfriend were all supportive of that decision. They understood how hard it was to get a job and I did everything I could. In the blink of an eye, I had a job and moved across country. It has been rough. I get to talk to my parents once and day and usually my nephew. Leaving him was very difficult. We had grown close over the summer and had started a great relationship. When my mom tells me he asks "Where's Spikey" it really hurts. I hope he remembers me and the great relationship we had.
It was also hard to leave my girlfriend, Kate, behind as well. Since we began dating, we have been able to see each other almost whenever we want. Now, I am lucky if we talk on the phone each day. Its been difficult. For those of you who dont know, we met in Biology class but didnt date until a year later. I can remember the first thing I thought when I saw her. I think this pretty much sums it up. My buddy Brad can attest to that reaction as well. Now when I see her, my feelings are like this. So its been a tough few weeks. On the bright side, she will be here over labor day weekend. It will be awesome to see her. Shes beautiful isnt she.
Thats it for this time. Stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions.
(Remember the bar where the girls wear only bikinis? Well, check this out. Laughlin is a weird place.)

Attacked by a Pop Star, Free Stuff and My New Friend
Everyday, I wake up at 6 in the morning and get ready for school. I wake up, grab some dry cereal because cereal and milk is nasty (yeah I said it) take a shower, get dressed and I am off to school. Once I am outside, I walk by an apartment building similar to mine. Now this building has some nice bushes that line the sidewalk. For the past week, every time I walk by this bush, a humming bird flies out to greet me. This isnt a once in a while thing, its every day. Its quite strange and I am hoping one day Ill be able to take a picture of my new best friend.
Once I get to my car (2010 Nissan Altima with the push start, no big deal), I get ready for my half hour commute to work each day. I can live with a half hour but what I cant live with in the horrible music selection. One of the dirty little secrets of moving to a new state is trying to find a decent radio station to listen to. Back home, it was easy. Here, I'm stuck with static or breezy pop hits. Now dont get me wrong, I can use a nice bubble gum pop hit every now and then but this week has been out of control. On my way to school today, I heard not one, not two, not three but four Katy Perry songs. Four. I feel like LeBron right now. What is even worse, I had those four songs on only two different radio stations. Four Katy Perry songs in one half hour. My drive to work today was ruined by this and this and then this. Dear Katy, I dont care about your fireworks, your friday night or what girls you are kissing (well, maybe). Because of Katy Perry attacking my ears every morning, I feel like I'm walking into a bad college party. From this moment Katy Perry you are banned from my life. We had a good run. We had some fun. I am through with you and your dumb songs. I hope you wake up in Vegas and leave me alone.
Now on to more happy thoughts after my rant on the one who will has been banned (screw you too Russel Brand. Play a new character in a movie besides a doped up Brit). Today, River Valley gave me even more free stuff. I got this and this from student council. Check the background of the second pic. Old habits die hard I guess. Thats all for today and I can already tell I am running out of ideas. It is going to be a long year. Til next time, stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions (and friendly humming birds. Or unfriendly humming birds for that matter).

River Regatta, VIP and The Casinos
This is my first weekend here in the great state of Nevada. I was a little worried about finding stuff to do but was quickly told by the seniors in my class that this weekend is the River Regatta. Before I explain what that was (and I had to ask) let me explain the geography of Laughlin. I live in the tri-state area of Nevada, Arizona and California. The boarder of these states is the Colorado River. On the Nevada side, all the casinos sit on or near the river. On the Arizona side, all the shopping sits near the river. So on to the story...
I asked my seniors what the heck the River Regatta was and what exactly goes on. Very matter-0f-factly he said "People float in the river." Float in the river? Thats all you do is float in the river? The senior said "well, people drink beer and float in the river." I decided to go down to the river and check this Regatta out. Well friends, what I found was pretty interesting. I took a drive down to the river and I found a bunch of people floating in the river. I was shocked! Take a look. There were hundreds of people at this event just to float in the river. People were in all sorts of different floating devices from simple inter tubes all the way to pontoon boats decorated like pirate ships. After watching the floating, I decided to hit up the buffet at Harrah's casino to get a bite to eat.
I walked into the buffet and handed them my rewards card (each casino lets you sign up for a rewards card for free to earn discounts towards useless stuff) and the lady says welcome back Nelson right this way. I was already feeling pretty good when she said "we are going to take you into the VIP room and let you enjoy the perks of being a preferred member of our casino." Hot Damn! Ive only been here a week and I am feeling like Joe Presci in Casino minus all the ciggs. I ate some pasta and fruit and went on my merry way.
As I walked out, I saw a car being raffled off to the VIP member (take that all you common folk) so I decided to throw my name into the hat. After some reflection, I couldn't help think that all the people who signed up for this raffle could probably buy the car with the money they are losing at the craps table. Oh well, God Bless America and winning free stuff.
The next few weeks, I am hoping to check out the rest of the casinos and hopefully find some more interesting stuff to talk about. Also, I am hoping to spice this blog up with some pics. I posted some on my Facebook but I want to have this blog be one stop shopping for all things Spike. However, I am a little computer slow so I have found a hired gun. My good friend Chris will be co piloting this blogosphere with me and he will hopefully get this thing going full speed. As always friends, stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions.

Long, long week
Well, this has been the longest week of my life. I have been running around trying to get my life in order. I am finally all moved in and have bought my first car. I bought a 2010 Nissan Altima. I will have pics up of the apartment and the car soon. The Doctor and I have been taking in the Laughlin the last few days and I think I am starting to like it. I am 15 minutes away from downtown Laughlin where there are the 15 or so casinos. It is literally mini-Vegas. We have cruised the casinos looking for the best deals on restuarants (if that isnt Spike Holliday I dont know what is) and trying to find a mall. After eating dinner at a top notch buffet (Harrahs casino was awesome), Doc and I found an outlet mall. We walked in and the next 20 minutes was a little out of the ordinary.
We walked in and the Doctor went to use the restroom. I sat in the food court and people watched. After about a minute, two chunky kids, maybe 16 or 17, starting yelling at what looked like a girl. It ended up being a really, really skinny guy with long hair and rocking some skinny jeans. You can see how I was mistaken. The chunky boys were yelling at skinny jeans calling him all sorts of names. So right in the middle of the mall, skin tight jeans punched chunky boy 1 in the face. I looked around and no one even bothered to look what was going on. This must be common in mini-Vegas.
A little dazed after a Tyson-like left cross to the chin, chunky boy 1 looked to chunky boy 2 and start laughing. They proceeded to "take it outside" which seemed redundant because no one inside cared what was going on. After a few more yells and name calling, skinny left and the chunky boys rode the elevator as proud as can be.
After my run in with the chunky boys, I went to a local bar next store looking for information. I walked in to Bikini Bar and instantly felt like it was a strip club. I walked up to the bar and asked the barkeep, literally a girl wearing nothing but a bikini, and asked if they played Ohio State football games at this bar. She was instanstly confused as if I asked her what the square root of 177 was. She turns to another bikini only barkeep and asks her. Still nothing. So they go to get the manager and ask him. The manager put a pool stick down and was wearing a backwards hat and he told they got some of the games. This place needed to be on bar rescue because I was confused if this was a strip club, a bar or both.
So my week consisted of chunky boys. go go girls and buffets. Interesting to say the least. And I had my first full day of school yesterday. Kids were awesome and I think its going to go great. As always, stay out of the heat and watch out for scorpions.

My first day
Well it is hotter than heck out here. The car said it was over 110 degrees outside. It got up to 115 during the day. After getting to our hotel at 3:30 am (6:30 Toledo time. Doc was a little cranky to say the least.) I woke up at 7:30 to go meet everyone at River Valley High School. Everyone was super nice and super helpful. We were asked if we wanted water 5 times, which was nice because it was 115 degrees outside. After getting paper work and meeting my new co-workers, the Doctor and I were off to find an apartment for me to live in. It took a turn I was not expecting.
After getting some tips from the nice ladies in that school district building, we drove our Nissan Sentra (not a bad little car) to Laughlin, Nevada. After driving around 20 minutes through the scenic Arizona and Nevada countryside, we ended up in Laughlin. In Laughlin, there is probably 10 casinos in a 4 miles radius. People in Nevada must love to gamble. After searching for probably an hour I picked out a small 1 bedroom apartment for a measly 375 a month. Once the apartment paperwork was finished (That is a dirty little secret no one tells you about before you move. There is so much paperwork to do.) the Doctor and I went for supplies. 120 dollars later I had a new George Foreman grill, a toaster and some other household items. Tomorrow I will try to get some pics up of my apartment and some of the surrounding area.
After a long, long day, there is still so much to do. Buying a car, a bed, a couch and a TV are all on the to-do list. I'm hoping this little experiment gets a little more exciting (I'm new to this) and people actually read my thoughts. Til next time, stay outta the heat and watch out for scorpions.
