I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
I'm Breaking the habit
I'm Breaking the habit
Tonight
With a heavy heart,

Sure, Gringo has done some things that will allow the gods to smile down upon him. He was the overseer of a $141 million bond program. But then, that's only remarkable to a certain extent because the voters approved of this bond program back in 1999 -- a full two years before Gringo took over. Three newly built elementary schools opened, but each have been having their fair share of critisism. A new local Hicksville area high school (rumored to later be named HVHS #2, HVHS the Second, or even the highly preferred HVHS Jr.) has finally gained a location of construction. The thing about this one, however, is that plans for this HVHS Too had been floating around since about 1997, and planned completion of the high school was scheduled to be for this upcoming school year of 2003-2004. On top of that, construction of this high school had been estimated to take so long that not even the Pre-Schoolers entering Hicks Valley Elementary School this year will be able to enjoy its comforts. Our loveable Gringo was even able to have mold removed from three schools in the district. Alright, for one thing, this shows how underclass Hicksville ISD can be when you need to be rid of a serious mold problem in not only one but three schools. Secondly, unfortunately for the high schoolers at Hicksville High, this meant removing all floor tiles while the mold problem was "being handled". That's a professional way of saying that each tile is hand-dunked in a bucket of Lysol and later placed back on the floors under the title of "new flooring". So for a year, students at HVHS have been treading concrete foundation, which amazingly smelled far better than when the school had its tile flooring.
Of course, this was not the "controversial" area of his position. The main act of controversy to be duly noted was Gringo's allowance of millions of dollars to be spent on replacing the grass on both high school football fields with astroturf. Click here to read more on that story. All the juicy controversial details can be found there. Shortly following the announcement of where our money was going to, HISD Central Office announced that there would be several major budget cuts. It first started with the rmoval of some fine arts programs in the elementary and intermediate levels. It then moved up to the secondary levels at middle schools, for example the removal of Mrs. Sunhucker and the choir program at Hicksville Middle School. Eventually, Gringo announced the combination of the Hicks Valley Elementary and Intermediate campuses. Involved in the combination would be the removal of workers who held a doubled position (EX., if there are two Vice Principals, the better of the two stays on while the lesser gets axed). Budget cut time! The funny thing is that Hicksville ISD hired Gringo knowing that he had a reputation for being a Positions Axe Murderer. Perhaps for some strange reason, HISD had this in mind all along and just needed somebody to get the job done. Unfortunately, it seems that their little "downsizing" scheme has blown up in their faces.
And so comes a moment to stop, be nostalgic, and reflect upon the past. In reality, Dr. Joe Gringo perhaps while making us miserable has given TRHSL staff members (me) and supporters (others) something to be sarcastic about. With all the other intriguing and downright strange occurrences at Hicksville High, perhaps Gringo had more of a hand in some things than many of us realize. The next time you go to look back over the years of 2001 through 2003, just remember hat you do have someone to point the finger of blame at. May God bless the soul of Joe Gringo! Happy Retirement, December 31!
