What is now proved was once only imaged.

Monday is Quote Day

Lyrics from Ingrid Michaelson's song "Everybody".

Happy is the heart that still feels pain
Darkness drains and light will come again.
Swing open up your chest and let it in
Just let the love, love, love begin.

Everybody, everybody wants to love.
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, everybody, everybody wants to love.
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.

Your task is to love what you don’t understand.

New Years Resolution - Book 1 - first thoughts

As you know from my previous entry, New Years Resolutions , I will be reading 12 books this year as well as learning how to play the ukulele. Well, I have officially begun.

I started Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury this week. I'm not very far and with that comes a confusion about what on earth is happening. Does this even take place on earth?

All I can say is that, I think the main character is a fire fighter and I think it takes place in the future. Of course, none of this can truly be confirmed until I read a bit more, but I'm fairly certain I'm right.

I will try, with all my power and will, to continue reading this book this week.

Of course, it has quite an opponent in "The West Wing" on Netflix streaming, but I will try my best to continue with the book. It's funny, because the characters on the show are constantly reading bills/depositions/articles/speeches that it makes me want to read, all the while clicking "next episode".

I will officially be designating Tuesday nights for reading. Hopefully by next week, I will be more than halfway into the book or even done.

Wish me luck!
