Yo, kid! Cut it out!

I need a good book to read. The last book I read was Wuthering Heights. I discovered upon reading it that there are several classic books I haven't read. This kind of irks me. Here I am, in my 20's (haha...barely) and yet I have not read some of the literature that has made modern writing what it is today. There would be nothing if it wasn't for the classics. Seriously, though: think about it.

Society (myself included) keeps getting lazier and lazier with both written and spoken word. Pretty soon we won't even need the post office or books or libraries or...paper. Paper? Ugh! Now don't even get me started on how wonderful paper is. I know that it's more eco-friendly to use less paper, but do we really need to get rid of it altogether? Everything these days is digital - heck (can I say hell?) even this writing is online. I'm ashamed to tell you that I do not really recall what my handwriting looks like. That, my friends, is disgusting.

Years ago people put so much stake into their writing. So much so that even their handwriting was primped and practiced. If one wanted to be heard they needed to be careful about not only their words, but the appearance and effort of it as well. Care and effort. What happened to it all?

On to other news:
Today I drew a picture of broccoli.
It looks horrible.
