[GENERAL] Start with the man in the mirror

Today I listened to Michael Jackson's song,"Man in the Mirror" for no apparent reason and I thought,WOW, I felt this rush of emotion not because I was touched by his musicality but by the words. I realised that I wasn't being the best person I could be. Before you all go," Stop putting pressure on yourself"like my friends would. Wait a second and here me out.

I have a dream...and it's to help out the world because so many innocent people don't get a chance, absolutely no chance. There's no but...It's just a full stop for them and I really want to do something for them.

Before I go completely of subject I want to make my point-I think I need to make a change with myself before I go trying to changing others.

I making a pledge to myself(I hope you do too)- to notice something bad in myself e.g. bad temper and try to control. It's not easy but if you are lucky enough to have loving people around you, maybe they can help you. Let's start a peace revolution.

One the power of one!,

We can change the world-Israel Houghton

Peace dudes...feel loved.

[BOOK] Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

We've all heard about the poor orphan Oliver Twist and what a genius Dickens is. But truth be told I've only seen plays or watched the movie until today, when I read chapter 1 of the book. Ironically I needed a dictionary by my side partly because my vocab book is quite dry.

What I want to know from everyone is whether you've read, watched or even played a part in it at school and what you think of it. Is it an old book past it's time or a amazing glorious piece of literature.

My opinion is that it is very interesting and draws me in. Although, I used my dictionary more than I wanted to, I believe that the world is a learning process, so if Dickens is going to teach me the life of an orphaned poor Victorian boy, then so be it!

Word of the day-"Idyllic" meaning perfect.
