Words and Thought for today

So what can I say...really not too much...The days have become repetitive...the sun is on its way down when I'm waking up...I wait tell the hour I go to work, which is sadly the highlight of my day...then I end up pacing around the Kiosk for Borders book store and in four hours only sell seven items. The repetitiveness alone is going to kill me. I read alot more now. I found a steal of a deal when I went to the local library...Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer...hardback...for only a dollar! And it is in great condition! I kinda jumped for joy when I saw it. I had to rub my eyes a few times and still couldn't believe it, so I had to go and ask the library woman lady...she said my dreams have come true and yes that is only a dollar. So I have thrown that book into my 'books I need to read' category. I'm currently finishing up Bright Shiny Morning..and yet another James Frey..And since everyone is so high on this Twilight I have convinced myself that I need to at least read the first book. I would like to read the Journals of the Freedom Writers too. Thought that would be pretty interesting and humbling.

Another benefit about being at the Kiosk is that you get to watch everybody in the mall...witness their arguments...see how transparent their faces. I wonder if they realize how much they show of their person. Who they really are. Who they are trying to hide from the world by placing up blocks and covering their soul...putting on a front. It is pretty interesting...but as soon as they notice that someone is looking they tighten the laces and go back into hiding. Much like a hermit crab. Some people just don't care and are who they are, which is awesome. Picture this, a slightly overweight man wearing glasses, and a tight blue t-shirt that must have been purchased in the 70's tucked into his worn down jeans that are well over his navel on his quite large stomach. This man also wears a long black beard that is slightly greying and a full head of scraggly head. As you follow his arms down you notice that they are crossed yet one had is missing. It is inside a hand puppet. This man is walking around with a puppet of a sloth, and as he walks by every person he starts moving the sloth like crazy and opening and closing its mouth and at the exact same time he, himself, is opening and closing his mouth. I know that his goal to all of the awesome awkwardness that he creates is to just make people smile and have people smile again...I can't help but laugh everything I see him approaching...cause I am easily entertained that stuff just makes me bust up with laughter. Though the common everyday man may say he is weird..I say right on! I feel that there should be more sloth puppet men in the world...My whole life I have only met two..the other was in Mexico...It was feakin awesome! Peace

You're becoming quite the blogger, lil brother. Keep it up. I mean, I can just see the crazy guy with the puppet. Like he should be in a movie or some jazz. Awesome.
