Of Mice and Men-John Steinbeck
Published in 1937
112 pages
It is a quick, easy read that stays with you after you set it down. I certainly understand the book and the symbolism in it, but I'm still not sure about it. It tells the tale of two men, George and Lennie, who go around from place to place because Lennie continues to do bad things unintentionally. I loved the majority of the book, but the ending threw me off. I won't spoil anything, but it is a very profound ending. I guess what it comes down to is that I would have liked more. It ends fast and abruptly. Overall: A-
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air/I was born too late/To a world that doesn't care/Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair/When record shops were still on top/And vinyl was all that they stocked/And the super info highway was still drifting out in space/Kids were wearing hand me downs/And playing games meant kick around/And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Latest Lyrics
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul/Find something to hold on to or to let go/To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope/Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know/Cause it won't last/Worries will pass/All your troubles they don't stand a chance/And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most/Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know/Sometimes your path in marked in the sky/Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines/Sometimes all that you can do is say no/Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know

Current Contemplation
Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, 'I'm not going to make it,' but you laugh inside remembering all the times you've felt that way.
We are bits of stellar matter that got cold by accident, bit of star gone wrong.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
