 Today we continued reading this play, as four of our classmates and teacher acted as these characters and narrator. The book seems somewhat real in a sense as the characters use slang and language that would be common in regular conversations, like with other books everyone speaks so formally with little mistakes in their speech making it seem somewhat unrealistic, in here it seems like a conversation you’d actually hear. At parts it got a little uncomfortable but at other parts it was relatable like when Troy and his son were disagreeing about their ways of life, his son may have been lazy and avoiding his responsibilities but he was chasing his passion or what he lead us to believe was his passion. That scene made the book feel much more relatable in my eyes as I can relate to his son as I too have avoided my life for the majority of it, except I’m not even sure why, but at a certain point in life, you need to face reality and decide whether your dreams are worth making your cur...

 Today we came back from break and we didn’t have too much work, we ended up reading this book named Fences which happened to be a play which is new to me. The book gave us the setting and context prior to the play, somewhat like a movie in my opinion. I was wondering if we were gonna read the play however we still had to narrate first which I chose to do because I don’t really like reading so I’d like to get it out of the way. I’d prefer narrator to because I wouldn’t have to put much effort into playing my character. Aside from that the title is kind of relatable, I like keeping fences since I don’t really like adding new people in my circle of close friends, it just is more trouble than it’s worth when more people have leverage on you and your life. So I just tend to not share my feelings, personal life and like my I guess myself to people I’m not close with. 

 

 Despite not enjoying being serious and focused in stuff, I am very competitive and fixated on small stuff like rankings and wins for my ego, Like I use the fact that im rarely serious to try and get away with losing but really it does get on my nerves, cause it doesn’t really work. Not to mention that I hate losing so whenever I lose to my friend in something I enjoy fair and square while trying to act like i'm not serious even though I am, it’s very hard to deny my loss despite not wanting to accept it. Like I really don’t wanna admit I‘m worse than my friend and that I’m probably not even 2nd, i'm barely even hanging in the top 10 in our friendgroup.

 I don’t think too much when something is being born, although that seems boring. Like when my nephews were born and my niece, I honestly didn’t think too much about it except that I wanted to go home and leave the hospital. Not that I dislike birth or anything, it’s just that it doesn’t seem all that important to me, I mean I do of course love my nieces and nephews but their births weren’t all too eventful or important to me. Nothing that I was exactly hyped for since well I have to wait like 5 years just for them to really be able to well interact and play games with me, like it took my nephew until the age of 9 to learn Mario so it was honestly just not that impactful to me, when births happened.

 Man I really wanna try every brand of shampoo for no reason, honestly just because I wanna try the smell but also like how the foam starts forming after you distribute it throughout your hair feels soo nice. Not to mention that it would feel like a cool gun collection but like for shampoo, y’know? Also it’d be like a total flex if you think about it like having every pokemon card during recess but like for haircare. Who’s to say too much shampoo can be bad for you, till it is. Which I’ll gladly spend the rest of my life going bald and regretting the shampoo collection, but at least it was complete.

 I don’t think there’s been many times where i’ve dressed inappropriately that I can recall, however there have been a multitude of times where I’ve under dressed for the occasions. I do recall this one time I dressed really fancy to a trip to McDonalds because I thought my crush was going to be there, just for her not to be there and for my friends to be going to Pizzahut instead. Pretty awkward walking in a fast-food place with clothes that are more suited for an event or important occasion.
