What's New?
Well, I saw Spiderman 3, it was ok. I supposed the idea of the plot looked good on paper but I just wasn't feeling the drama or emotions behind the scenes like 'evil Peter at the jazz club' or 'death of Goblin Jr.' Hopefully the triligy stays a triligy (no offense).
I've started a new book called 'Black Boy' by Richard Wright. It's basicly an autobiography or memoir of Wright's life growing up in the racially hateful South of the early 1900's. I've found that Mr. Wright and I share much in common. Here's a quote that really speaks to me:

Quote:
At the age of twelve, before I had an attitude toward life that was to endure, that was to make me seek those areas of living that would keep it alive, that was to make me skeptical of everything while seeking everything, tolerant of all and yet critical. The spirit I had caught gave me insight into the sufferings of others, made me gravitate toward those whose feelings were like my own, made me sit for hours while others told me of their lives made me strangely tender and cruel, violent and peaceful.
It made me want to drive coldly to the heart of every question and lay it open to the core of suffering I knew I would find there. It made me love burrowing into psychology, into realistic and naturalistic fiction and art, into those whirlpool of politics that had the power to claim the whole of men's souls. It directed my loyalties to the side of men in rebellion; it made me love talk that sought answers to questions that could help nobody, that could only keep alive in me that enthralling sense of wonder and awe in the face of the drama of human feeling which is hidden by the external drama of life.

When I read it, it felt like I was reading a summary of myself (except I'm almost 16, not 12). I always find it wonderful to read psychology books that tell me things I already knew, but I just didn't know I knew. To find that undescribable feeling when you hit that epiphany, is what I work for. 3nodding Hopefully you will find this book as much of a joy as I did.
Up Coming Dates
