The thing was when I was in the head masters office I excelled, as soon as I went back to class, I slipped again. Some classes I did very well in, others I just flopped.
At the age of 40, I went for a full midlife medical.
The report shocked everyone myself the most, then everyone went.. oh yeah that explains it.
Eye astigmatism, I had never really seen the blackboard, and... 60% tone deaf, they were amazed how I had gotten thru life being so deaf and no one ever noticing.
Once I knew that everything made sense, classes I did bad in I sat at the back, or the teacher had a beard, or women with high pitch voices. Classes I sat in the front.. I did well
Why's Baldy such a technohead.. only music I can hear, why do I hate pubs but a night club regular.. everyone shouts. And why I have done so well with computers/internet, its the perfect self learning environment.
On the other hand my sister whose not so smart, has like 4 degrees and is a computer scientist, and she still can't work out how to turn a pc on I might add. But she's got the qualifications, slow and steady wins the race, she was a plodder and study hard person.
IQ is just your ability to learn it has no reflection on what you have learned.

Yeah equating comprehension and brain horsepower with knowledge or wisdom is ridiculous. I've always thought that. Just like not all ignorant people are actually stupid. But most stupid people are ignorant.
I was always in so much trouble at all times in school- they had what was called ISS and at some junctures they would make me go to that most mornings without even going into class
We had a sexy azz lady who worked in the principal's office
Her and I use to spend a lot of time together and there were all kinds of puzzles and things
I liked that part of school
She was so sexy
To this day I still can't understand or learn much about anything I don't care about. If I care about it I can take the information how ever it is. Reading, listening, film, anything. If it's simple and I don't like it I can't even make myself learn it
So college was out
I wanted to go to Devry back then but said fuck it
I left school when I was twelve and began hustling cable television equipment full time
Fuck everything
