Reading 2014: Peter Pan.

Wow. What a fun book . At 200 pages it's a quick read. However! The book still covers a lot not seen in the Disney movie, shocker right? Well, I'm sure most everyone has seen the Disney movie of Peter Pan. So the plot of the book was used for the movie. What I enjoyed about the book so much more is the narrator acts like a living entity in the story! Suppose, to make her happy, we whisper to her in her sleep that the brats are coming back. They are really within two miles of the window now, and flying strong, but all we need whisper is that they are on the way. Let's. It is a pity we did it, for she has started up, calling their names; and there is no one in the room but Nana. ~ Peter Pan, Pg 188. It makes you feel like you're a ghost, quietly following the stories and adventures of Peter, Wendy, and the Lost boys. Only rarely whispering into their world, When you do though... Bone chilling. Even just reading that the narrator is doing it pulls you that much tight...

My friend Damien  and I are going to be each others accountability buddies and coaches! I almost said couches! Read. I don't have the best reading skills or speed and I know I need to get better especially with college so I'm hoping if I start reading more difficult books and focusing on making my reading ability better I'll get better!  Start creating more creative content! I've pretty much given up on painting or drawing of any sort but I love writing, acting, and making stuff! so I really want to do more of that to help my brain keep active. So those are my resolutions, I do need one thing from you. Yes yo...

Do good things, It's the only way to survive.

     "It's simple really. You can't discuss politics like Syria in a university setting anymore; We have too many Middle Eastern students that think totally different from American students. We can't come to a clear, answer with all of these people thinking wrongly of us". - the genius state university students sitting at the next table.      I don't know what hurt worse, trying to keep with the crowd and eating my soup before it was cool, or the absolute atrocious logic from this "university student". As my tongue and ears burned from their respective assaults I watched as these two people talked of the great imperfections of the world. They were both going to be great scholars and thinkers and had to think of the global issues. I slowly chewed through my sandwich and slurped my soup as I listened, painfully, as they both debated the same small sliver of reality they lived in. I looked at them and couldn't help but be grateful of my "simp...
