Hey Everyone... *points and whispers*
Yes I realzie I have just risen from the dead. However I was missing for very valid reasons:) I had a lot of work to do which I have been putting off for a very long time now. It got to the point where I couldn'tdelay any longer I really had to just do the damn work and shut off my machine for a while.
It was kind of funny. For about a week I basically wason a no TV no Computer spree. I logged on line on my mom or dads computer downstairs to just check my email then I would shut it off and go back to work. At that rate I was only checking my email maybe once a day if I rememebred *blasphemy*
Well so as you can probably guess I had A LOT of extra time when I normally would have been brain washing my self over the internet. See when I was little I read soooo much. My friend and I literally used to spend ever day at the library we would just chill in there and read till we ran out of books to read (yes we did actually run out of books to read)So anyway.
In about 7th grade I started spending all my time on the comp. Basically cuz I was sick of allways reading, got made fun of too much all that jazz. The computer was safer and anyway I could read on here. We've all heardof nifty lol! Anyway..
God I'm so im so unfocused. I guess what I am trying to say is thatI read a lot of good books this week. The Last Nazi, Teenager's in Revolt, The body of Christopher Creed, also I read a Feynman book for my paper called What do You care What other people think. They were all very good and I realized just how much I truly do miss reading books. Not internet. I think I might do it more often. Anyways bed time lol
Love you Alls
Andy

Books.......
Singularly the greatest invention ever..... I love reading.....
Andy, don't ever loose your passion for the written word.....
It can change the world.....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Amen. Stories online are good, but there is something more comforting about curling up in bed and reading a good book without having to tend to the thousand IM message windows.
So glad you could get away from the internet a bit, I experienced the same thing when I went on my holiday to the states recently, I got offline, was busy doing other stuff and I had a great time. I've reverted to my old ways a bit since getting back, but I have toned down more and I find that I am enjoying the internet less now, I get bored easier, though I have nothing better to do. Once I start working some more things should be better, I can have more money to do things. The internet is good, but many people spend far too much time online and I think it is great for all of us when we can have a break from that.
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

I started reading A Clock work Orange. Kind of an interesting thing. Growing up and from people older than me I always heard what a great masterpiece this book is, how amazing it was. So I on a reading spree decided that I would read it. WTF The book is incomprehensable. There is so much slang and just plan gibberish in the book that it is nearly impossible. I got through the first 19 pages and it took me about an hour to read. I must say I feel that no matter what a 'great' book this was that it will become obsolete in the future due to the impossibility tor ead.
Love
Andy

 Your post made me smile.
Actually, it's not gibberish. It's Russian. Sort of. Englishized Russian. I definitely thought the same thing you did when i started reading it (until i realized i knew some of the words). You just kind of have to guess at it and eventually it becomes more concrete. Or that's how it was for me anyway.
I would be entirely willing to 'translate' the Englishized Russian for you, if you wanted (seriously). Unless, of course, you're not planning on finishing it or whatever.
