Wow, I haven't blogged in like, ten years. I also didn't know there were more posts in my forum. My bad. I forget to browse around whenever I'm here; usually I post my new chapter and bounce. I have to thank Drewbie! Thanks for being so loyal.

Anyway, been feeling kind of crummy lately or mentally haunted by this book I had to read for my literature course. Music of Chance by Paul Auster. Fantastic book. Reads really quickly, flows well, and well written, full of emotion. In fact, it was written too well and I found myself feeling really bad about the main character Nashe. He lost everything in his life and then at the end, he killed himself by driving head on into another car. The whole book he drifts around, searching for something, but never finding it, and in the core of it all, he yearns for freedom. It just seems so sad, yet fitting, that he dies at the end, because after losing his wife amd his daughter and his good friend was murdered, by killing himself- in a way- he is ultimately freeing himself from whatever plagues him.

I know, I shouldn't get so involved in a fictional book, but by God, it really hit me! Maybe because I'm going through some own issues in my life, with my mother- that the character's life/death stirred up something in me.

Or maybe I'm just stressed. Currently in the process of finishing my Japanese History seminar paper, which might be close to 60 pages by the time I'm done with it. I cannot wait for this semester to be over. With December around the corner, I'm excited for winter break. Calling up old friends, random parties, making holiday plans up the wazoo! Woohoo!

Peace,

P.S. HI ERIC!!!! Love your stories. Can't wait to see more from you in the future.
