Kindle


Last night in class I had the startling realization that soon books will be abolished just like CD's. With technological advancements in the world of literature, the kindle is growing in popularity. This epidemic draws a striking resemblance to mp3 players. We are in the time period where both are still used, however I propose that 20 years from now, it will be harder to come across book stores and the kindle, or products like it, will store a mass quantity of reading materials.

I kind of really want one. It would totally save my back from aching all the time cause I carry so many damn books!

However, on the other hand, I have spent the last 3 days writing about dystopian literature. This seems a bit like 'Brave New World' to me.

Breathe.

Last week I was on the precipice. Now I dove into the work. I have to say that it makes me feel alive to learn. Yes, sometimes its boring and i count the pages until the end of the article/chapter repeatedly, wishing it would go along faster, but after its done, in most cases I feel like i've learned something new. My memory isn't the best, so sometimes I can only retain the information for a week, but that's good because all my classes are within a week of the readings.

I have been listening to a lot of piano instrumentals while I do my work. I love pandora. My new favorite artist is Greg Maroney. Breathe is probably my new favorite song. Hit play and just listen while you go about your work. You can't not like it. The recording is kind of shabby...If you want to hear more go to his myspace...just click the link I posted.
