30 Day Writing Challenge- Day 8

A book I love would first and foremost be the Bible because I literally love it like you would a person because it essentially is. I loved Catch-22 and Karen Kingsbury books. I love reading just about any book besides textbooks. Unless they are on a subject I like, like psychology for example. Anyway, the only book I really despise and wish didn't exist is "50 shades", I have several reasons why, which I won't go into, because that would take all day. That "book" is bad for humanity. Anyway since I haven't actually read that, I would say a book I've read but didn't like would be "dreamcatcher" by stephen king. I mean I have read too many of his books to name or count. I know what he's about and his style.And I always enjoy them for the most part. (I have a love/hate relationship to his writing) But I can't say I don't like any of his other ones. But for some reason with "dreamcatcher" I just could not enjoy it, the first few chapters were okay, and I did like the four main characters, it was well written (obviously), but to an extent. There were just way too many twists, and so much going on. Not that it was hard to follow but it was just so unnecessary to have that much stuff happening. You could take each plot conflict and make a whole book out of each one and make several different books. It's like ideas for about three books were smashed into one for some reason. It took me nine months to finish that book because I just couldn't pick it up. I dreaded it but I made myself finish it. That's a long time for me too, because I usually finish books in a day or two depending on what else I need to do that day.

music piracy... is stealing more than just music, it's stealing hopes and dreams

I cried watching "empire"... yea... Terrence Howard's character says: "I started selling drugs when I was 9 years old, in philadelphia, I did it to feed myself. But it was the music that played in my head that kept me alive when I thought I was going to get shot. And it was the melodies I dreamt about that kept me warm when I was sleeping in the streets...you see? music saved my life. Times have changed though, the internet has destroyed the musicians ability to make money, because our work, is downloaded for free online. Now it's impossible for the disenfranchised kids growing up in the projects to overcome poverty the way that I did" I wanted to stand up and cheer, but people would look at me weird... set there, turn that over in your mind... sure getting free music might not hurt those super famous, already signed and set "rock/rap/pop stars" you see on tv.., the ones with mansions, the ones you think represent musicians all across the boa

1) "walk away" by Christina Aguilera... well this is one of the best songs by Christina in my opinion, vocally and lyrically. She wrote this song and the lyrics are almost completely perfect. It's so moving and sad, and you can really feel that she means what she is singing about. I have many times related to this song on a personal level. It's very 1950's loungey sounding as well, I love it. 2) "Man of constant sorrow" as covered by Sawyer Fredericks... I really liked the live version of this better, he sang it for his blind audition, this song got popular because of that movie and everyone knows that, but also, even though this is a "cover" it's original singer/writer is unknown, it's an old folk song that people used to sing. 3)"Bring me to Life" by Evanescence... I remember the exact moment I realized this song was written about Jesus. I LOVE this song, it is literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Amy Lee i

This line, in this movie was one of the many things I can look back on in my life that lets me know who I am, who I always was and who I'm meant to be. I remember as soon as she said this I felt something amazing. See what I hear most of the time is that people who start being like this, who stand up for human rights. Who stand up for what is right. Are brainwashed by hollywood propaganda. I'm not defending the people in hollywood, not everything they do is good, in fact it's mostly corrupt and there's a lot of discrimination within hollywood and all media as well. But here's something else, they don't have an agenda, they don't care if it's domocrat or republican, they care about money. And the people who work in hollywood are usually artists, artists see things that most people don't and they have ways of working their own beliefs into things. Those things get past the people in charge with ease as long as it will make them money. They aren't
