11. Let Love In

Well, we're nearing the end of this week of school. Unfortunately, I can't go home when everyone else can because I have to work in the library. Oh well, I'm getting paid after all. I'm really glad for the break because I've wanted more time off lately. I bet everyone feels the same way.

I know that it sounds sappy, but I encourage all of you to remember why we celebrate Thanksgiving. I know that I will try to think about all that I'm thankful for. I have a better life than some, and I'm thankful for that all the time. Sometimes, we lose track of things like that. I'm a bit of a cynic, so I don't think such happy thoughts as much as some people do. Again, I'd encourage everyone to do a bit of reflecting this week.

I'm going to try and fix my two essays for English class. Also, I have a research paper due in a few weeks that I need to start doing. Hopefully, I won't procrastinate. I just got done listening to the album Axis: Bold as Love by Jimi Hendrix. Jimi is just amazing. I'd recommend that you check him out. I really like his cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. The lyrics are partly inspired by some verses in Isaiah. I can't remember which. Wikipedia knows. The new album by Guns N' Roses is awesome. It's called Chinese Democracy. It's banned in China though. Oh well. I hate it how the Chinese government says they're socialist when they're really not. Communism is a perversion of socialism. I think that I might discuss this kind of stuff some more in another blog. By the way, my title comes from a song of the same name by the Goo Goo Dolls. The album has the say name. They're a great band. Well, I'm going to go now.

Hah hah. I love "All Along the Watchtower." Jimi is awesome!

I'll have to pick up the new GnR album. I never thought this day would come. :)
