3rd Blog Post.

I read the lyrics to the song "The Kind Of Love You Never Recover From" by Christine Lavin, and I decided that I wanted to blog about it. The lyrics in that song described a story of a young couple who were inlove. Thirty years have past and that couple are off living their own lives, with separate families and jobs. They were each others first loves, and they knew that their love was true. In the beginning of the song they were both trying to say that they didn't regret their decisions to leave each other, but they won't ever forget the memories. In the end of the song, they both confess that they do infact regret the choice of leaving each other. They can't forget their first love. Sometimes you have to admit things even though it hurts and you don't want to.  Admiting the truth can be difficult, but its healthier than not being true to yourself.  It s bad to bottle up your feelings, because if you lie to others all the time, then your lieing to yourself.   This song touched me because even though i have not fallen inlove yet, I find this very romantic.   Hopefully I will always remember my first love and have memories that will last forever.  

"The Undomestic Goddess" by Sophie Kinsella. 2nd Blog Entry.

I started a book that actually my mom recommended for me. It is called “The Undomestic Goddess” by Sophie Kinsella. The first few chapters are about Samantha Sweeting making a horrible mistake at her work. This is a big deal for Samantha because she is a “Workaholic”. This mistake could lead to her not having any chance of partnership. Instead of handling it calmly and rationally, she walks out of her office in London and takes a train. She doesn’t know where she is going exactly, just anywhere to get away from her mistakes. My question is “Why would Samantha walk out of her Office so suddenly over one mistake?”. Yes, it might have been a huge goof-up, but that is not a reason to give up! After working so hard nonstop, she probably should have thought it through better. She needed to stop, take a deep breath, and think of something sensible to do. This act was immature on her part, because she did not think about everyone at the office that she let down by just leaving. My question for the next few chapters is “Where is she exactly, and will she go back to her office and face the consequences?”. Hopefully in the next chapters that I read, she will show some maturity and take responsibility for her actions like an adult, or anyone would. I am excited to read what will happen next, and I will probably write in my next few Blogs about this book.

First Blog-This Lullaby

I just got finished reading "This Lullaby" by Sarah Dessen. First off, when i picked up the book at the store i thought it looked interesting because the description on the back stated the plot of the story. When I look for a good book, I try to find a character that i can relate to myself. This story in particular had a teenage girl who seemed to be struggling with everyday problems. I thought to myself, "Oh, I am going to connect with this girl", boy was I wrong. I ended up actually connecting with the Musician Boy in the story. He had a different outlook in life then the girl, and I happened to agree with his more. I'm not sure if its because i am a musician myself, or it just ended up being like that. Either way, it was nice bonding with a male character for once instead of a girl character. The girl in the story ended up bugging me, always complaining about everything. The boys outlook in life inspired me to look and judge people differently. Usually books don't have great affects on me, but this one sure did. I would recommend it for anyone who likes a good "Teen" story. I hope that this story will affect other peoples outlooks in life also.
