People seem to be getting dumber by the day. Short attention spans. Loud opinions. Less thinking. Mistaking kindness for flirting.

Pick up a book. Hydrate every day. Volunteer in your community. Eat clean. Pay for someone’s tab. Walk in circles when talking to someone you like. Yell “yes!” when something good happens. Step away from toxic circles. Most importantly, love yourself—not the version others have accepted.

The deciders always seem to struggle with movie ideas. There are, in my opinion, too many re-makes and all of that type of thing. I think they should start looking to books. There are many, many books that I would love to see done in movie format. I know, the book is always better. At least I think so. But I still think that movie adaptations that haven’t been done yet would be better than a remake of something that had been done and done and done. One prime example for me is “The Transall Saga” by Gary Paulsen. It is a very good book! I’ve never sat down to read some of it without going front to back. I’ve read it a bunch of times. Not too sure how many, but a bunch. It would make an epic movie. Especially with today’s graphics and capabilities.

Definitely a good book to get lost in. Sitting on the couch, laying in the grass. Either or, it’s likely to take you to another world in your mind. It’s a cool story, well written. I just love it! Would make a better movie than any unnecessary new age remake of an already good and well done movie. I don’t know why this one hasn’t been done yet. If you haven’t read it, have at er! Give it a whirl! Especially with all of the quarantine business going on, it’s a great time passer. You’ll have read it front to back and want more! I know I did! Want to know more about the novel? The link below will give you the information you seek. Definitely would recommend to anyone who like survival type sci -fi kinda things.

They’ll give you a gun before they give you a book,

So you’ll squeeze the hammer way before you pick up a nook,

Now you’re in the slammer, just like they wanted,

Another number in their books, locked up-haunted.

That gun they gave you, it’s so easily expendable,

But what they fear the most is liberation of the mind,

That’s something that’s indispensable.

Great advice given with what happened to #Gatsby and #NickGalloway #TheGreatGatsby #pickupabook 📚😏#thursdaythoughts @Regrann from @literarymemes - I'm only doing an English degree so that I can make fun of Scott Fitzgerald with the authority of a degree. #literarymemes #englishmajor #fscottfitzgerald #thegreatgatsby - #regrann
