I was trying to think of one



I was trying to think of something wonderful to write about, but nothing inspirational came to mind. All I could think of at the time was my favorite actor, Gerard Butler. He has a movie coming out on Oct. 22 called Dear Frankie. It looks like a comedy chick flick. Most of the time I can't stand chick flicks, but if this one has Gerry in it......... I am pitiful, I know.

We visited my brother this last weekend. It looks like he is having fun at school, much different then my college experience. He has two roommates in a room smaller than mine. I don't know how they stand it since they are all big guys. I wish his roommate Chris didn't have a girl friend. Finally I meet a nice, Catholic boy and he is taken. Go figure. That is the way it always is with me.

Moby-Dick's Reign of Terror

Moby-Dick: almost 600 pages of solid torture, written only to drive innocent students to the brink of insanity by boredom. A "Monumental" masterpiece largely misunderstood, Yes it is that! It is much too huge to be read by the likes us; we who like to read what is there and not the underlying meaning. The underlying meaning needs to be there, if it wasn't Moby-Dick wouldn't be worth reading. So I ask myself, how much of this is my professor making up?
unfortunately I do not think he is making up a lot. His points have forced me to read slowly and every know and then I understand what he is saying.

By the way, who ever said this story was about a White Whale? I have almost finished the book and still no white whale.

First blogg

Adventures.....Well, that is just wishful thinking. The normal day in my life is so routine that I don't have adventures. Of course some one could say that I am not looking at life in a positive way, advetures happen all the time. Yes, I suppose so, but not the kind I am looking for. I want to fly away to Neverland, hunt rich nobles with Robin Hood, quest through Middle Earth, see dragons and touch rainbows. (Can you tell I have been reading to much?)
Reading is not a bad thing, it never has been. But living in worlds that have been created can be. It leads you to expect more from life and ignore the good and wonderful elements around you.
Come to think of it, I doubt I would be much use in an adventure. Probably I would die right away from a stray arrow or not be quick witted enough to outsmart the dragon and get eaten.

Words of Wisdom: Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with mustard.
