jaej .... speaking of vomit. So did you do the whole drink till you passed out or drink till you barfed barfing is the worst thing that comes with drinking ... that and a two day hangover! So glad I got that our of my system years ago.

As long as kids (and/or adults) are reading ... it's a good thing and she's entitled to all the money she makes, if if she did get ideas from other people. She made it work ... wished I would have thought of it! I know people who have barely got thru high school and as adults ... they read a Harry Potter book and got hooked ... they have read all of them and are impatient with the wait! Now they read all those books you despise but thankfully they are now reading and watching reruns of Walker, Texas Ranger or of that ilk.

You said you played Pokémon all day on Memorial day .... hmmmm ... to each their own .... I think video games are a waste of time but I still buy them all the time for Alex ... yeah he likes the Pokémon one also ... which version are you playing?

I swear I don't intend to sound mean saying this, really! I swear! You need to be a little more laid back on things ... not everything you eat is good for you, not everything that is written is good but it's a waste of your talent to put so much energy in what keeps the "masses" running. You are in a small percentage of the population that is extremely intelligent. Don't become one of those guys that look down his nose at the "little people" who aren't as smart or choose not to use what little gray matter they have. So what if they read garbage, so what if they think stupid things ... your goal is to go out into the world and soak up more wisdom. Part of the wisdom you soak up in a university and the rest is learned thru living. You've been a cognitive person for only a few years to be so opinionated give yourself a few more years of living before you get so hardcore. I think that once you've lived away from home a few years and have all the headaches of bills, rent, utilities and such you have a broader base in which you've walked in the "everyday" man's shoes. Wait until you're old and decrepit like me before you have such determination on worthless endeavors. I love ya' kid but you need to lighten up sometimes,
