Wow! So I’m in Seattle, currently at the library. I realized while here that we’ve kind of destroyed the atmosphere of the library, to some extent. I mean, the Library used to be a place for books, now it’s books and computer, and iPods, and DVDs etc. etc. It was once this wonderful thing (still is) and now it’s not so wonderful. Well I’m actually appreciative of it, otherwise I wouldn’t have my free wifi and couldn’t be writing this post, instead I’d be reading books. Not that I don’t read enough, I figured out the other day, I think Saturday that I had read the Bible (actually the “Word on the Street) for over 5 hours. . . isn’t that crazy! That time doesn’t include the time I read something else, such as “Christian Inspiration” books as the bookstores like to call them. So I do love books.
Another reason (did I have a first) I love Seattle is the people. Everywhere you go there are interesting people, and when you see someone who looks normal they will have some funny looking bag which makes you wonder whats in it. It’s great! It makes it seem like every person has this huge story, it’s just full of life, and language! Everywhere I go I hear different languages! It’s insane, but cool. I love Seattle and people watching.

haha. I went to Seattle for an Future Business Leaders of America conference, and on the down time me and my friends explored Seattle. It was great, and our curfew was midnight, so did all this fun stuff. Seattle’s pike’s place is great. Cheap food… great taste

Interesting about librarys. But I don’t know about considering books as better than technology. ( I think I spelled that right..) After all, a lot of books (at least these days) have nearly as bad if not worse content than the things you see on the internet, just in a different form. I don’t think we realize how much books can affect us just like movies and tv. I think it’s considered less of an issue because many of the young teenagers today don’t read a lot. Still…

i love people!! one of my favorite things is when i see someone out there enjoying where they are in life. this one time i saw a guy with a big belly wearing suspenders and all standing at a gas station. he was waiting for the tank to fill and he just had his hands in his pockets and a huge smile on his face rocking back and forth on his feet! it was grand!! stuff like this is awesome and i thank God for the quiet reminder to just live life!!
