As a young and impressionable youth, the author read in honors and AP classes that interested me the most was the brilliant and satirical F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love the ironic plots and prestigious characters and content. I loved imagining the modern day interpretation (which would relate to any recent episode of The Hills). I loved how Fitz was boldly taking a stab at modern day society and the flaws within the upper socio-economic classes. I loved his literature because I secretly wanted to live in the art-deco clad, flapper influenced society and their desire to break out of the norm and rebel from their ancestory.
Food for thought from Fitz: (Bernice Bobs Her Hair)
"At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide."

Where do you find yourself?. Are you searching for the cave of which you wish to hide? Are you already in that cave? Are you still riding on the wings of your convictions?
What does this have to do with the recent elections?
Just a thought...
After spending a more then pleasant evening with my lovely comrade, Bethany Stewart she invited me to check out her blog. People often update me of people's lives because of info that they found on an other's blog. Why not allow people to keep themselves updated with my life without making them talk to me? Why not define myself through lengthy expressions, ideals and intentions? Why not allow people to fall in love with or learn to loathe me because of my writing style? Why not, spend more time with a machine and less time with a warm, breathing being who could extend to me a warm embrace? Why not? But really, blogging is fun. It resembles the ancient and ever so out of style habit of our ancestors; journal writing. But this time, our inner thoughts and desires are posted in the world wide web. Whether or not I may be the only person to get a kick out of this, ENJOY!
