Hey guys,
Rather than some random shorts post of my life, I'm gonna make a random long post of my life. :)
Well, summer has gone and autumn is in, and it feels so darn good! Its cold in the mornings, just nice in the afternoon for a good read on the hammock, and cold again at night. To me, its the perfect condition for living. The leaves are turning red, some of them any ways. People are taking walks now. Its just simply beautiful.
Yesterday was the start of a week of fall break. I don't have much to do actually. Just sit around at home, read, do homework and play wii. Yesterday I did hang out with friends though. Went to the movies to watch Couples' Retreat with Riley and Marina. The movie was funny, but meant more for couples than just an ordinary comedy you catch with friends. I felt like i was sitting through a couples confession and therapy session at times. But over all it was good, maybe a 3 out of 5.
After the movie we went to Devan's house and then went to Riley's house to play some B-ball. Devan decided to give us all a "joy" ride in his car. He took off down the neighborhood at 60mph and did doughnuts and almost ran into cars, scared the crap out of me. :/ I'm not looking forward to riding with Devan anytime soon again haha.
I just got done with a really good book by Mitch Albom. This author is probably one of the more genius authors you will ever get to see in this lifetime, because of his simple ideas that make people think deep. Any ways, I read: For One More Day. And its basically about a torn out baseball player who became a salesman. He has a broken family where his relationship with his mom and daughter has become almost entirely ruined. He attempts to commit suicide one night and finds himself in his old hometown and meets his dead mother. His mother teaches him about things he never knew, like the simple sacrifices she made for him. Like, becoming a house cleaner to get him through college (where he quit), kicking the dad out of the house to protect him and his sister, and simple acts that most of us forget. He learns also about a dark family secret, that his father had another family when he was still married to his mother. The years he had hated his mother for chasing his dad away had been revealed, and he seeks forgiveness. During the time he meets his mother, every thing in real life was happening in slow motion, as if time had stopped. He comes to consciousness, and years after that reconciles the love that he has lost because of forgiveness.
I think its a pretty amazing book. In under 200 pages, he had managed to tap into my consciousness. His other books are pretty amazing too. :)
So how's life everybody? Its good to know we're all still breathing, but what happens between breaths? You tell me :)
