Wow... All this time, I've been complaining. I've been whining. I've been a pretentious, argumentative .....
Well....
I must say, I am just about over the verge of change. I am now genuinely enjoying the novel. (And that is not just because you did not appreciate my blog posts of the last quarter, Mr. Brammer....)
Honestly, the story, especially in these last two chapters (which I suppose I read more carefully since I had to present them) just takes a turn for awesome, exciting, intriguing. Put it how you like. The entire situation during the conflict in the streets, the fires, the aftermath, the reactions... In the beginning of this blog, I started going off on how the novel focused too much on what I believed to be superficial, and extraneous (the strike, the lives of the women in the community). I now realize the foolishness of this point. The strike, the lives of the women, all this is the most vital, most paramount part to life, at this specific time. The entire outburst of emotion, from someone as reserved as N'Deye Touti, who embraced the French culture, and who appeared to be a link, holding on to what she held dear, yet open to change, she is absolutely enraged, infuriated even, by the disappointment she feels at the remarks of some petty soldiers. It is (as said in class) a sort of brutality, which pulls her into the madness that is the realization of human base, and vile nature. This alone could make for pages, upon pages of argument.
Then, the story of the lone, and proud watchman. Holy hell... I would make that into a movie in an instant. Well, maybe not... very little movies with dying protagonists do well. But I mean come on?!?! The struggle between grace and death, honor and basic instincts, along with the tragedy of ending up as food? Man, that scene was just awesomely interesting.
So yeah, I suppose no more criticizing attitude, and sassy comments... Mostly shock and awe. Let's hope this continues in the fashion...
Also, I might start promoting my music through this blog... Will see if can't finish another track by next week. I feel as if my life consists of school, FL studio, and sleep.
Alrighty, time to make some beats flow.

Much more appropriate, don't ya think? :)
Good to see that someone enjoys this book. I certainly do not. As for EDM, I don't know man. It's a complicated subject. It all depends on peoples' tastes in music. Good luck with the music. The stuff you showed me was pretty sick.
