The Book

My final thoughts on Killing yourself to live:
If I was talking to Chuck I would tell him to cut out some of the songs he is talking about. I think the reason to why I wasnt so crazy about this book was the fact that I really didnt know much of the songs he mentioned. So when he's going on and on about Led Zeplin and Kiss and etc.. I was rather lost/bored. The Beetles was really the only band I was familiar with. There were some things I found interesting/true."we alway ar gue about bullshit that doesnt mateer" been there sometimes you do get into it for the smallest things and even though it bothers you, you realize it's just not worth the argument. It was easy to relate to him when he said he was five pretending to be scared of the dark. I babysat these two kids and the little girl would always act scared so that she could stay up and see her mom when she came home from work.
Overall this book was ok to me i would give it a 6.5/10. However I would reccomend that you familiarize yourself with these songs before yo read this book

85% of a true story..my thoughts!!

When I first started reading this book it was different. I liked the fact that Chuck was always very blunt about what he was saying, but some of the things didnt seem realistic. For example who jumps in a strangers car and smokes crack?? Over all I wasnt really into this book. It was probably because he went on and on about these rock bands that I am really unfamiliar with. He also spent way tooo much time talking about kiss. All he had to say was that they sold the most albums at once instead of talking about them for 3 to 4 pages. It also didnt seem very realistic that you actually pay a speeding ticket right on the spot in Montanna. I did like the way he described being 3 1/2 inches away from Washington. most peopl say miles or hours away but he chose inches that was different but clever! The conversation with one of the girls who was partying in the hotel seemed ridiculous. Chuck went on and on about how he doesnt care if their loud in reality I think the girl would have walked away a minute into it and thought he was some creep. In the end I did like the fact that he was going to write a book.
"there are certain people you love who do something else, they define what love is supposed to feel like" I liked his thoughts on love because I believe this is true. After your with someone and you move on sometimes you tend to think about all the good times/things you had with that person and then you go and compare them to the person you are currently with.

THE LATEST

Last week was my birthday on the sixth, I finally turned the big 21! I bought a new alphat and shoes and all my friends got together and we went to a bar downtown. This past week was pretty busy for me. I have been trying to catch up on all my homework, its hard because I have a lot to do and after work I usually feel tired so its even harder to stay up. I spent the majority of the day writing up flash cards so that I could study for my linguistics test , after this class Im going to the library to do math homework!

POST SECRET THOUGHTS

While reading all the entries on post secret I found some to be very eye grabbing and others to be rather dull. "Sometimes I wish your child was dead too, then you could understand how I feel" was the first one that really caught my attention. when I read the first line I thought what a horrible thing to say, why would anyone want to wish a child dead? As I read on however I realized that the person is really hurt and it's hard to imagine how he/she feels after losing their child, the thought is unbearable. That first line was an excellent choice and grabbers like that can be very helpful when writing poems. "when im alone on long road trips I like to dress really slutty so the passing truckers will honk at me, I stop and change right before I get where Im going." this was the second entry that caught my eye , all I could think was that she really needs attention. The third thing I liked was the email that said "I always want to send the same secret but I fear it will change once I send it."I really liked this one because it realtes to life very well. Everyone gossips, you tell one person something and at the end it gets twisted to something completely the opposite of what you said. It's very hard to trust people these days because you think they are your friend but in reality they might not be as good of a friend as you think!
