Diary of a Wimpy Kid

So I am sure most people our age (20's and up) have not read or maybe even heard of this book. This book, Diary of a Wimpy kid, is amazing , it is sweeping the nation, being on the NY best sellers list and now even becoming a movie! I am currently reading it for a class but I love it...I can't put it down.
The bases of the book is about a boy named Greg who is a wimpy middle school-er who has decided that since he is going to be famous one day he should write in a journal so that one day it can be published. It is called "a novel with cartoons" and that is exactly what is, between the font that looks young and hand written to the cartoons that are drawn between days, a novel with cartoons is the perfect childish yet adult name it could be.
But in class we analyzing the book, breaking it down page by page and it so interesting. It is sad because everyone at one point in there middle school "career" they can relate to someone in this book. Greg tells what it's like to be "only the 52nd" coolest person out of the say 200 kids. All the struggles with being cool, having "cooties", getting braces, trying to talk to the opposite sex and so on, that everyone has faced.
It is so sad to think about to how harsh kids really are. The anxiety and stress these kids undergo to never seem uncool or emasculate is outrageous.
This book has made me remember some of the best and worst things about growing up and how much everyone has really changed. I think that it is important for everyone, no matter what age, should read "children" books as much as possible. It really helps with letting go and finding your youth again, the imagination we have lost and the knowledge we have gained really is put into perspective after reading these books.
We are still so young and it's important to remember that, "It's not that serious"
Everyone's been the wimpy kid,or the bully, or the kid with braces and so on.... don't ever forget your roots :)

True heartlessness

I am not sure if heartlessness is an actual word, but it is today in my blogger world.

I use the title "True heartlessness" due to it's ever so growing nature which of that is not called out enough, well I'm calling the heartless out today because I am sick of it.

As my last posted stated I had shoulder surgery last week, leaving me in a sling for the next 6 weeks...doesn't sound that bad right? But let's break this down...

My proposal to everyone for tomorrow is, try to do EVERYTHING one handed, with no help,almost none at all, from your other hand. (Make your dominate hand the one you can't use)

Things I never thought of that I/you cannot do...

1. Shower, you can put shampoo in your hand to put it in your hair.

2. Drive, it's illegal to drive with a sling

3. Write, I can only type but it's slower than most grandmothers, the constant peeking at keys is annoying.

4. Tie your shoes

5. Put your hair up

6. Zipper something up or twist a top

Just to name a few...but this not a pitty party for me, just an introduction to how heartless people are..
I can count on two hands everyday how many people let the door slam in my face, they see i am injured, i mean if i wasn't you would still think people have some common curiosity. What happened to chivalry?
Or how many people see I can't grab something or I am slow and they get mad and push me asaide....how rude.
Now I am someone who will get better and will have two arms soon, but imagine life really handicapped? Or all the Haitians, who will never recieve the medical help they deserve?

People are heartless, recognize the "small" blessing we all have in life and rethink the things we complain about, I know I have.
