That Feeling When...

   I'm sure, if your a reader, you've had that feeling when your reading this book and it's really good so you wanna tell your friends and people about it. But it's just hard to describe what the book is about and how it reads so you struggle to try to describe it while in your head you have a constant stream of  "Just read the book." running through your head. Well that's where I am at the moment. See I'm reading the book Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. It's really good and i really like it, the problem is describing it to you. I mean it's a book about what is basiclly witches. But it's more then that there's a whole culture behind it and it's honestly put together extremely well. 

      I really just wanna say go read it and be done. But i know i should probably say more then that. For me it's one of those books that is kind of up and down. You know the beginning is really good but then it gets slow. But what you don't realize is that it's not slow it's just slowly building towards something. And at some point as it's building you start to feel it. Like your right there, you feel what they feel you can almost see where they are and what they're doing. It's magic, and it's all because of the author. When someone can transport me through time and space to this whole other world... I'm in i'm a fan for life. I mean there might be stories that i'm more fond of then others but i'm there.

       Now i get that this may not be the book for everyone but I would definetely give it a chance, and in this case a chance is two maybe three chapters. If you're anything like me I promise you won't regret it. God i wanna just show you what i mean because when I'm reading it I'm right there in that world. But i guess all i really can say is that you should really try reading this book. I think you'll really like it.

As always feel free to share this with friends or comment. If your a regular reader thank you so much. It means a lot that even one person out there in the world reads my blog. As long as even just one person reads this i will keep posting. Heck I might keep posting just for me. But like I said thank you for reading i'm eternally grateful. Also sorry for all my grammer, and possible spelling, mistakes.

The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody

So as most of you know, i hopeing, i've been reading this book. the title is the title of my post for today.It’s actually a pretty good book. It’s got a lot of insight to racism. And not just towards african americans. Granted I have never really been a victim of racism but I have seen it happen to friends and even family. And I just don't understand how people think like that. I’m a firm believer that everyone should be treated equally. Like we’re all people, cause we are. And I think I actually got that from Pokémon to be honest. I watched the tv show when i was a kid and when Pokémon the first movie came out I watched it. It’s still my favorite Pokémon movie out today.

    Anyway my point is that in the movie, towards the end so sorry spoilers, Mew two learns that he and his man made creations aren’t really that different from the real pokemon. Which makes him understand that it shouldn’t matter where you come from. Because everyone is really the same. Or pretty damn close. And i say i learned this from pokemon because honestly, my parents are racist i can admit that. My dad could admit that he was racist against black people. My mom is racist against black people too, not as bad as my bad but still kind of is. But her big one is mexicans. I swear right now that I am not racist at all. Again I think everyone should be equal. 

    But reading this book I'm beginning to realize that just because it isn’t talked about as much does not mean that racism isn’t around anymore. Because it is. I mean if you think about stereotypes in relation to racism there’s actually a lot of racism, and sexism but that’s another thing entirely, out there. It makes me sad to think that people grow up with this crap, or worse that kids are growing up hearing and seeing these stereotypes about races and thinking it’s true. I’m always telling mom, and I fully believe it, you can not judge a full race on a hand full of people. I mean if you wanna do that you might as well just say that you hate all people because there are bad people in every race. 

    Granted I do think we should be able to joke about this kind of stuff but there is a line and going beyond that line can hurt people in one way or another. Now i'm not finished with the book yet but it's already had an impact on me. I've actually thought about a few things i may have said or done in the past that may have come off as rascist. I would like to say that i haven't been ignorantly rasicist but i can't because i honestly don't know. But i will say I'm gonna try harder not to be. So thank you Mrs. Angie Thomas for bringing to light how much bullshit we as humans turn a blind eye to.

Not so Bookish?

So normally I write something about the book I'm currently reading or something along those lines. but today I wanna talk to you about this show I've been watching on Netflix. It's called Glow it's about the beginning of women's wrestling. now before you go into the whole "wrestling is fake" or "I don't like wrestling" thing, I get it I do I'm not too big on wrestling myself. but the thing is it's about more then that wrestling just happens to be the main point. To me it kind of shows just how much work actually goes into the production that is wrestling. I mean there's training for the matches then acting for the extra stuff and a very real risk that something could go wrong. But it's also pure passion, the people that do this just wanna be able to show little girls and boys that they can be strong when they grow up. They want people to know that if they can go through something, fake maybe but still possible, then maybe you can get through it too.

Now I'm not saying you need to click away and go watch it right now, like I said before not everyone's cup of tea. But I'm enjoying it myself, there honestly is a little something for everyone. It's not just this show though. Tv/Netflix is getting so much more relatable now, can you tell I've been watching a lot of Netflix, it's to the point where I can relate to something in almost any really good show. I'm sure a lot of you feel that way too. Tv shows and movies, in my opinion, are a lot like books but in a visual sense. I mean all of us when we read have pictures to go along with it that flow through our heads. Tv and movies are basically the same thing, maybe not quite the way you imagined it, but it's still essentially a story. And stories have evolved so much over the years, the first story was actually vocal. It was a very long time before stories were even wrote down. And even then they might have changed a little depending on the memories or knowledge of the one writing the story. Then slowly they started to turn books into movies or base movies off of books.

We all know that those usually come out pretty good. Some of them can be shit, you know the one that your thinking of right now, but it's still a version of the story. I feel like this has gone way off track, that happens a lot with me, it went from talking about tv to what is basically a history lesson on the origin of stories. But maybe that's why we like tv and movies so much, especially those of us that don't read a lot, it's a story you can watch. A story that easier to connect with because instead of just being told how a charecter is feeling, you see it on their face and in the way they use body language. How many people do you know that can watch any movie and say they had absolutely no connection or reaction to it? I bet very little if any. So yeah maybe this started about a tv show, or maybe it started out as a story. But I'll leave that for you to decide. As always feel free to leave comments if you want, you can also definitely share this with your friends if, in any form at all, you like this and think they should read it. And if you made it this far... thanks for reading my rambling.
