Feb. 27, 2009 - Once upon a time...

I recognize the fact that I will never be what society labels as “beautiful,” but I’m actually totally cool with that. I am built to look like a tree stump… or a potato… or an alcoholic ex-linebacker. My opinion on that is this: It doesn’t matter.

I’m huge on metaphors…. And I’m a book. While my binding may be pretty bad, and my cover pretty boring, if you take the time to read the story, you’ll wanna take me home.

Because of the media today, there is a large majority of people who are not books… those people are magazines, pamphlets, comic books... there’s not much to them… Television and other various forms of media have taken away the idea of escaping with a book, and replaced it with easy to digest vapid magazines… “Why take the time to read that boring looking book when you can be fascinated by these pictures and these colors in this magazine?”…

The people who do take the time to read the book realize what those who don’t are missing… I’d rather be a book any day. And I’d rather be picked up by the type that enjoys reading them.
