The End of KYTL

I really enjoyed this book overall. I liked his witty sense of being and that he was basically a cocky guy. Usually that would not appeal to me in a person face to face but I liked him in that way as I read his thoughts.

I think some of the strenghts of this book was that he went off on tangents of random thoughts as if that was the way he was actually thinking about it. In some books this may cause for a weakness but I think it really gave us an insight into his character.

The onyl weakmesses of the book was that he refered to a lot of bands and singers that I didn't even recognize the name let alone what he was saying about them. This was slightly irritating in the sense that I felt like I was constantly left out of an inside joke but I could still grasp the main idea of everything else. After finishing the book, I realize that I haven't missed out on much, information wise, but I may have comparatively.

I would definitely recomend this book to others. In fact I already have. I have a copy of his book Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs at home that I bought for my boyfriend but I have personally never read it. I will definitely be taking a closer look at it after reading this.

I would say this is a good book to use in school because it is an easy read and balancing school with reading a book is never easy. This is a book that could be assigned that students would actually read instead of half read.

Part III of KYTL

I thought that pages 141-194 were basically filled with nothingness. Which in turn makes me realize that the whole book is basically filled with nothingness which is perhaps why I like it.

I liked how he refered to Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. I havethe book and haven't read all of the part he is talking about that refers to Lenore however it does state that he will never be able to satify a woman and that thats okay because a woman will never satiafy him. (or vice versa. I don't exactly remember.) But this idea in general seems to explain all of his relationships he has throughout the book.

I really enjohyed pages 188 -191. These are the pages that consist of his conversation with the old man in the bar at Best Western. I really liked the way he looked at life. My favorite part of his out look was how you don't really know a person until you see them get angry. I really think that this is true but had never thought of it until I read this part of this book. I know I've been friends with people but once I've seen them get angry, I never forget that other side of them.

His book is taking a slow wind down in this part, yet he still keeps you interested with his random thoughts and ideas.

What's up with what's been going down

Recently I have been asked to be the JV pom pon coach at Garden City. I am really excited to work with these girls and I can't wait to get the season going. We had tryouts last week and I have a team of 13 girls. This is a small team but they had 8 last year so I'm thankful that it has gotten larger. Some of the girls on the team were really upset because they didn't make Varsity and that is understandable, but I think they now are understanding that JV is very important, especially for developing skills for their chances to make Varsity next year. Overall it is a good turn out and I can't wait to see how the season goes. They did really well last year and I have a lot of talented girls this year so it should turn out well :]


I also got a raise at work last week. Although it was on 1.5% increase, I an glad to no longer be making minimum wage. I really like working at Potbelly Sandwich works because its a very friendly and positive environment so it's never a dull day.

Today I got to school for my first class at 9:30 and have been here ever since. I usually got home on Monday and relax or do some homework or do other things but I decided to see if I could get more done if I stay at school. It worked. I definitely got a lot of thigns done today that I had been putting off. I love my desk at home and my room to do my homework in but soemtimes I just get distracted, especially if it's nice outside. Seeing as I didn't have anything to do today at school besides homework, it worked out nicely. I feel really accomplished :] I'm thinking I might do this every Monday seeing that the end of the semester is coming up quickly and I have a few large assignments to do.

Summer is calling my name. I cannot wait for it to be warmer outside. I don't mind work or school or anything when it's warm out but when it's cold I just can't seem to get motivated for anything. But once it's warm, it's like everything changes. I do a lot more cleaning and exercising and everything. Which doesn't exactly make sense for the cleaning part bcause that means I'm indoors but I'm just glad to be getting it done.
