Le Cose Vorrei Scrivere Di

In no particular order,

- The NBA CBA and revenue sharing

- Carmelo's trade situation

- The Holy Spirit's conviction about jokes I make in bad taste

- Psychoanalysis of myself through examination of past relationships

- The girl I have wanted to love for the past four years, and why I may or may not actually love her

Thoughts on Kindle

It is very thin and lightweight with high resolution.  The 3G is excellent and free but I would not use it for anything more than cursory checking of social networing services.  Mobile versions of Twitter Gmail and Facebook are optimal.  Typing is a pain due to keys... punctuation is also a pain.  I could develop a new writing style from typing on this device by eschewing the use of puncuation other than periods and ellipses.

Reading on this device is comfortable.  Annotations made are naturally brief in nature.  I am currently reading Ulysses.  I downloaded a free Bible from the Kindle store and a free copy of Ulysses from Project Gutenberg.  Free books are for the win.  I would recommend the Kindle 3 for reading purposes only. I use the browser frequently only because I have internet curfew.  Yes.  At age 23.

One last note.  Many books can be obtained for free that have entered the public domain.  Keep in mind that quality remains an issue.  Hopefully I have addressed the most salient of concerns you would raise concerning the purchase of this product.  If you have any further questions do not hesitate to post them below.

New Fragments Emerge

This class, English 2261, confronts me with a babushka doll.  On one level, I am confronting more directly the possibility of becoming a writer.  I can either give it my all, or pull back, doing instead something safe.  I am driven to write more, yet paralyzed by the pressure to give up.  At the root of this tension is the real issue with being a writer: is that incarnation of me worthy enough to come alive again for?  Or will this increasingly crippling depression consume hope for a fulfilling life?  And within even those questions is the more important issue of my faith.  I will either become stronger because of it or in spite of it.
