Blogs + Books
So. . .I'm procrastinating my decision on what to do for the rest of the night, but at this point (which is prior to the point in which I'm writing this), I'm messing around on the internet, in Google Reader, reading my musical friend KiD CuDi's blog while holding my Kindle in my left hand, open to location 1172 in American Lion Jon Meacham's book about my Presidential friend Andrew Jackson, the people's President, Mr. I was Born for the Storm and a Calm Does Not Suit Me himself. I read CuDi's blog - the latest was a prayer - and it's written in all caps LIKE THIS AND IS KINDA/SORTA STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS and CuDi is my favorite new artist, but Cudder, the blog is - and you'd admit this - not on par with the historical writing of an accomplished author like Jon Meacham. I finish CuDi's blog and I flip down my laptop and go over to my Kindle, and I cannot at all read the book because in my head my brain is still acting like it's reading the internet, and I'm only sort of focusing, and only sort of paying attention, I'm reading with speed not precision, and I realize that blogs have momentarily destroyed my ability to read.
Kids, please separate the blogs from the books - but please read both.
Also www.twitter.com/onemikey for all of my fans that will exist one day.
