"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

--Donald Miller

A rundown of my most boring week because I've been sick:

200+: Amount of tissues used

60: Cough Drops I've become addicted to

20: Alias episodes I've watched in a week

9: Days I've been sick so far

3: Boxes of medicine used up so far

2: Cartons of orange juice I've drunk

1: Assignment I've done all week

In other news, I've been checking out Kanye West's new book: Thank You And You're Welcome, a fantastic 52 page book (some pages left blank because he couldn't think of anything to write) showing us how our culture's intelligence is slowly depleting. Please enjoy some quotes:

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed."

"I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph."

"My mom taught me to believe in my flyness and conquer my shyness."

"I feel like to misuse, overuse or abuse someone is negative. To use is necessary and if you can't be used, then you are useless."
