Well-Rounded

To start off today's entry: What movie have you seen these in? [Something similar...think about it]

Anyway...

In my slow and sad attempt to make myself a well-rounded person through reading, writing, music, and other arts, I've lost several hours in which I could have been peacefully sleeping in my queen-sized bed under my Classic Winnie the Pooh sheets. Instead of sleeping, I either read Empire Falls (a Pulitzer prize winning novel by Richard Russo) or write in my journal, which I try to do daily. I also listen to jazz or Sinatra or Louis Armstron/Ella Fitzgerald duets while I fall asleep. Today, I also fooled around on the piano a bit, trying to figure out seventh chords, and how they might help someone bang out improv jazz tunes. So far, my campaign is going rather well, I think. I also intend to, at some point, rent out all the classic movies to catch up on what I've missed when I ... wasn't born yet. I've already got a nice head start since I'm watching Dead Poet's Society in English class, and I borrowed The Godfather: Part I from a friend of mine. My goal is to become one of those movie/music/art/literature nerds who knows anything and everything about those things. I envy people like that... Well, tonight, I'd better get some sleep for once, since I have the time.
