A Book

So I stayed up way to late last night reading a wonderful book. The author is William P. Young. Born in Alberta, Canada and raised in New Guinea. The book he wrote? It's simply called "The Shack." I have never read anything quite like this book. My mom handed it to me and said, "Read this, I'm not going to explain it, just read it." So when I picked it up last night at about 11:30, I figured I'd read it for a few minutes and put it down and go to sleep. Maybe it was the cold room I was in, maybe it was the authors writing style but something kept me reading until about 2 this morning. Yes, I read it cover to cover. What a story! I would highly reccommend reading it for yourself. You can find out more about the author and book at www.theshackbook.com. The authors' blog, which I would say wait until after you have read the book to read that is www.windrumors.com (some of what is written here won't make sense even if you do read it before the book). If you are having trouble with something in your life, even if it is the smallest thing in the world, this is a book that will help you. I know it will help me. If you have already read it, give it to someone else to read, if you haven't go get it, it's worth the 3 plus hours to read it. Tell me what you think by either commenting or emailing or myspacing me. Yes, I know this post is a bit cryptic, it is intentional. I don't want to give away any part of the book. Like I said read it, then go to the authors blog and the book website.

It's Too Early

It's 5:21 as I start writing this blog on SuperBowl Sunday 2008. I'm not sure what to write about. I have the day off, first one I have taken since Christmas (other than a couple weeks ago when I was sick). That means that I really shouldn't be up this early. I should be in bed asleep, but I just can't. No, it's not becuase I'm excited about the game, or any other plans I have for today (Go Patriots). I just can't sleep. Maybe I'm still recovering from taking the LSAT yesterday. Yeah, that's right a month plus of studying leads to me finally getting the right to pay $125 to torture myself for 4 hours by taking a test in logic. Before you ask, I have no clue how well or badly I did, all I know is I had way to many analytical reasoning sections (that's not Logic games) for my tastes. BTW if you want to take the test in the Portland market, Corban College isn't a bad location. Of course it would have been nice to not have had to drive for 120 miles to get there and back but hey, I can't win them all. So, the LSAT's done, I've got my BA in Public Affairs. Now what? Hmmm....that's a really, really good question. I'm going to be applying to Law School for the fall (I should really get on that, the deadline is in like 4 weeks). If I don't get in, well it's more hours at the station, getting up at 3-4 AM somedays, but hey it's money. Well, I think I may go crawl back into bed for a few hours, maybe I'll actually sleep this time...good morning/afternoon/night...Oh and enjoy the game!
