Been Thinking Lately . . .

I don't really post on my blog, so I was thinking of possibly creating a book blog. But I have qualms about it.
1) I don't have time to write about everything I read (even though I do find the time to read the dang things anyway:D)
2) I'm afraid of sounding completely stupid - I really don't know a whole lot about writing reviews of things
3) Looking at others book blogs sometimes I just get overwhelmed with everything that they do and it feels like I would have to do everything too
4) I want to serve a mission - would dropping off the face of the internet world for a year and half be necessarily a bad thing?

On the plus side
1) I could interact with more book loving people
2) I'd have an excuse to read books for fun - not just boring ol' textbooks
3) I can improve my writing abilities
4) Some book bloggers get free books so I could possibly get free books (but in all reality I probably wouldn't)
5) Whenever people ask what I'm reading - I can just give them my URL and would end up not chatting off their ear for an hour about the lastest thing I had just read

I don't really know. Somedays it seems like a good idea, and other days it just doesn't.
I've also been thinking about changing my emails so I just have one -it's annnoying somedays to bounce in between the two.
Opinions anyone, to help this poor undecisive person?

Political Debates = Bible Bashing

I just decided that I hate talking politics with people. It's not that I don't know what's going on, for the most part I do, but whenever I talk to someone with different views than me it turns into one big bible bash. No one is happy with the other person and contention is sown. Nothing is accomplished and all that's left is hard feelings. To avoid the contention and confrontation (I'm not a very confrontational person to begin with) I'll just keep my political views to myself.

Shakespeare, How I Love Thee

As I'm procrastinating writing a couple of papers for classes that are due this Friday, I decided that I would take a moment (or several) and write about my enduring love for Shakespeare.

I had always enjoyed studying Shakespeare's plays all throughout high school and told everyone that I 'loved' Shakespeare. Man would I get the weirdest looks! Love Shakespeare? Really? People thought I was crazy! But I really didn't even comprehend how amazing the Bard really is as I went through those high school classes. I'm currently taking a Shakespeare class in college and everyday I learn something more about the huge depth and bredth that he had in his plays. Whoever says that Shakespeare is not a genius has never read, truly read, any of his plays. Not only are they beautifully written, but his scope on the whole human perspective is stunning. Throughout the semester my understanding has steadily increased and I look forward to diving into the texts. There is so much more hiding under the surface of those plays. I cannot even begin to say how much I love them. Heck, I'm seriously debating about quoting King Lear in my talk on gratitude on Sunday. How much bigger of an English nerd can I become?

I guess I should go revel in the gloriousness of the Shakespeare paper that I'm writing (it's on Henry V, Machiavelli, and Obama - it's going to be awesome!), but whenever I'm are forced to write something its the something that I least want to think about at the moment:)

Yep, I'm a Slacker

My friend told me that I need to post more - but lately I've found nothing to post on. My life is filled with homework and papers and more homework and papers. Life is fairly boring as of now - but hey RJ I posted!!

Annoyed

People can be so annoying! And when people are annoying and I get annoyed, then I get cross, and when I get cross I get angry, and when I'm angry I'm no fun to be around because I flip out at every little thing and that makes other angry with me, then I get even madder because then instead of being annoying, they're rude and UGH!!! Stupid consequences to actions.
