Its time for grace


If you have ever read the books that have been written by New York Best Selling Author Ricahrd Paul Evans,You now know that he has realeased his new book called "Grace".

Someone would call them trashy christmas romance novels,but in all,I can describe them as classy and opiniated and just a good story that anyone would want to read. They are in a way somewhat sad, depending on the story type and what it is about. But I am so excited to read his new book. I asked for it for christmas and I am hoping I get it.
Here is what his new book is about.

"Grace is the story of a young runaway girl and the boy who hides her from a world too large for him to comprehend. It is also about two brothers and the trust that binds them together through difficult times. Most of all, Grace is a story of a young couple learning to love"

2008 Realizations..!

2008 stupid realizations.Ahem, don't read if you think you will be wasting previous minutes in your life.
1) Taco Bell is more American than Burger King
2) Asking the computer to work faster will not work, in fact it will go slower.
3) I'd rather not know what hotdogs come from, in fear the name says it all.
4) Trying to type a letter with your nose is fun; doing it with your homework is stupid.
5) High Fives are like crack to little kids
6) I think Nick Jr. is just as entertaining as MTV.
7) The girls who work at Hollister are paid to look at you like your SMEXY.
8) SMEXY is not a word, so you need to stop using it.
9) If you hold your hand out in front of you walking down a hallway, 40% of the people you pass will high five you.
10) When someone says "I like the Moldy Peaches." They're really saying, "I only like the song from Juno."
11) When I put on flip-flops, I'm making a statement, I'm saying.. "I hope I don't get chased today."
12) Nematoads are people too. (Thank you, SpongeBob.)
13) Don't try to bite you ear, it will become addicting. ( People might mistaken you for a person with Tiretts)
14) Same thing with licking a battery.
15) There is such a thing as "Beatles overload" so listen sparingly. (really, "A Day in the Life" was stuck in my head for 4 hours.)
16) Yelling "FOOD FIGHT!! " in a food court will not trigger a food fight; only odd looks and mall security. (Do not attempt this ha ha )
17) If you take a nap outside everyday, eventually something not cool will bite you.
18) If a robot, does the Robot, it's called the paradox.
19) There is more in Sprite than Lemon and Lime.
20) Duck Taping bottle rockets to roller blades will not make rocket skates.
21) It Won't make a rocket sled either. (Nice try Ty)
22) The fastest way to get in a fight is walk into Hot Topic, walk up to the shirt wall, point to a random shirt and say, "That band sucks %^*$#@#$$@!." really loud.
23) Aids + Aids= Aids (Not Super Aids.)
24) It's possible to wait until 30 minutes until a final exam to study, and still make a 103 on it.
25) You can't put "Mad Halo3 SKILLZ!" on a resume for Gamestop.
26) Most girls are crazy, just learn to accept this.
27) Gum can stick to anything.
28) The new Dew flavors are a gift from the heavens, and I don't deserve their awesomeness.
29) I will never be hot; just cute.
30) Myspace is just an outlet for people to type out what they're really like, read it, realize they hate who they are, and reinvent themselves over and over agian.
31) Leaving a comment without leaving Kudos is like saying "Yeah, I read it.. It sucks.. Bye"
32) It's hard to compete with pathetic.
33) People love to steal my blog ideas.
34) "Nice butt" Is not a compliment.
35) Drinking hot chocolate quick will not reduce the amount of pain on your tounge.
36) Breaking guitar durring a gig= is extremly cool.... Breaking Guitar Hero Controler durring game= Is as stupid as stupid gets.
37) There are more ways to get toast out of a toaster than fishing it out with a fork.
38) Skattering change all over the floor so you can find it is considered littering in the eyes of your parents.
39) Saying "Lol" verbally should be quickly followed by, "I was just reading a text outloud, oops".
40) Unlike a real Guitar, with guitar hero controler, breaking it during a preformance will not activate star power.
41) Putting your Itunes on shuffle will only make you listen to the songs you regret downloading over and over again.
42) Climbing on your roof will not get you a better signal, just two really pissed off parents with a ladder.
43) A Four Cheese Hot Pocket is not Italian food.
44) Adding a whole package of cream cheese will not make mac n cheese taste cheesier.

And thank you Jessica

The Portrait of Dorian Gray

I really like this quote from the beggining of the book.

The artist is a creator of beautiful things
The reveal are and conceal the artist is art's aim
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beauitiful things
The highest,as the lowest,form or criticism is a mode of autobiography
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt with being charming.
This is a fault
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.
For these there is hope
They are the elect to whome beautiful things mean only beauty
There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral bookBooks are well written,or badly written.That is all
The nineteenth-century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass
The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist,but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
No artist desires to prove anything.
Even things that are true beyond can be proved
No artist has ethical sympathies.
An ethical Sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
No arist is every morbid.
The artist can exspress anything using everything
Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an artVice and virtue are to the artist material for an art
From the point of view of form,the type of all the arts is the art of musician.
From the point of view of feeling,the actor's craft is the type.
All art is at once surface and symbol
Those who go beneath the surface do so at there own peril
Those who read the symbol do so at there own perilIt is the spectator,and not the life,that are really mirrors
Diversity of opinions about a work of art shows that the work is new,complex,and vital
When critics disagree the artist is in accord with himself
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admirer it.
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensly.

-''Oscar Wilde''
