    The Truman Show

    I saw that movie yesterday on TV. I remember seeing it a long time ago, but then it didn't make that much of an impression on me as it did now. It's weird that it was made such a long time ago yet it makes more relevance now with the whole reality TV craze going around. I can't help admitting...

    William Golding: Lord Of The Flies

    I just finished reading this book. It's really nice how the story seems as a simple book about kids on an island but can be examined for its symbolism to include much more. One thing I was puzzled about though was the beast, and if it was a real beast, a metaphor, or something else. At first I...

    William Golding: Lord Of The Flies

    I'm reading this book currently. I wish I could've read it when I was younger, it would have been much more revelational and I would've enjoyed it more. It's still really interesting, but it just reinforces what I think. Strange to say, but this book reminds me of the book "The Things They...

    Hubert Selby: Last Exit To Brooklyn

    I liked many of the short stories in Last Exit to Brooklyn, some more than others. The reason Hubert Selby wrote that way is so the book is more towards people that didn't have a high education and can't read something very complicated. The Demon didn't really give a motive for the person going...

    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie

    Yeah, I actually thought there was something wrong with our movie's film, I couldn't believe they cut that whole scene out. I really wanted to see how they would use special effects to portray a quidditch match in a movie. Guess they didn't want to bother losing money.

    What other hobbies do you enjoy?

    I really like listening to music. My favorite thing to do is to knock two birds with one stone and read while listening to music.

    Greenday

    In my opinion, politics takes advantage of feelings of a group of people to achieve an individual goal. When it comes to politics, it's better to think, not be guided by a feelings by which politicians or musicians can lead you. Politics is a very dirty business and I don't want it mixed up with...

    Greenday

    I've never cared too much about them. I kinda don't like music with political or other moral messages, don't really care about musician's political stances. Music should be about feelings and emotions, in my opinion, not about judging what is right or wrong. I did like their earlier stuff a lot...

    which path?

    I've found out that if I use my head too much about a decision and try to analyze it thoroughly, I end up being even more confused because I see the positives and I see the negatives and doubt myself even more. It's kind of like Notes From the Underground, I go into inertia and don't want to do...

    The Child in Us

    Speaking from observations, I think people become grown up when responsibilities are pushed upon them and they have to strive for some goal other than the pure living and enjoyment of life. Work and school has a lot to do with it. I think old people that are retired become more childlike than...

    Love

    I liked the way it is explained in the book 1984. You start to not care about your daily life routine, and see everything differently.

    definetly, i listen to a lot of music, and i'm sure many others here do as well. i'd go to another forum, but then i wouldn't be able to talk to all the great people on this site.

    That is Masuimi Max? She is ridicilously gorgeous. I'm in love with her photos, it's too bad they don't love me back.

    overcoming depression

    It's good to know that there are other people out there that feel the way I feel. I talked with my step-sis yesterday and it made it a little better. The point of the matter is to force yourself to do something positive and be proud of it. I used to go the gym and run every day, but then my...

    What book should be REQUIRED reading for everyone?

    I didn't enjoy Lolita that much. I kept having to look up a lot of words in the dictionary and some weren't even in there. This probably has been said before, but I thought he could use easier words and the book would've been a lot better. Also at the end, when he was looking for Lolita, I had...
