Frame 4

Today was gorgeous and I finally finished my book "Love is a Mix Tape" by Rob Sheffield. I could really relate to this book. Well not the part about his wife dying from a pulmonary embolism but most of the other stuff. Don't worry I didn't just ruin the book for you. The book is basically a memoir about how his relationship with his wife was spawned solely of musical taste. Some people might think that this is shallow or stupid but music is a bond that can hold like no other. Needless to say I highly recommend this book. A lot of the music he likes, I don't like at all but it is way beyond the music. Reading about how that went to structure his relationships is amazing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson made a comeback into my life today. I did my first research paper on this essayist in grade school. Today I heard his name in my discussion class for Film 210. Then I heard it outside of class in the halls in a typical overzealous college elitist battle. Then when I was finishing my book Sheffield used a great quote from the book. Which is,

"I grieve that grief can teach me nothing"

Which I think is an amazing quote. Because its true to me and a lot of people around me. So there, now I feel like I served my Ralph Waldo Emerson duty for the day.
