GLEE!!!

Today, I'm feeling very misgivng for some odd reason.
And watching Glee's Season Finale Performance - "Journey Medley" and "Don't Stop Believing" gets me weepy.

Getting Old..........

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about aging. I don't like the idea at all. I wonder who will take care and stand up for me when I can't do so myself.
And along the way, there's no way to maintence my body while everything is sliding down south. Losing your teeth, hair, and height. Wrinkled up like a raisin. UGHHHHH!!!

Catcher in the Rye

In memory of J. D. Salinger that had died earlier this year, I'd decided to order "Catcher in the Rye" from Amazon to reread his only novel ever published.
When I first read this book in the 7th grade while attending Webster Intermediate School in Friendswood, Tx, I'd thought Holden was a very funny guy living a really boring life.
But after reading this book some 15 years later, I finally feel his loneliness and now at 30, trying to find some pure sincerity in this society. For an entire week reading this book, I couldn't get the lump out of my throat while tossing and turning in bed trying not to think about Holden's sadness.
In a way,this book makes you realize that so many people around you are such a "phony". Including people that are supposed to help you back on track end up tossing you out in the street. LITERALLY!
The lesson is that you're all alone is this cruel world and the only person you got is yourself. And people gets REAL SORE about constructive criticism, so keep all opinion to yourself.
And knowing Mr. Salinger ends up living the shadow of Holden's life by isolating himself from a world full of betrayal makes me even more sad
