do people read books these days? like actual bound books with pages? if you're not on the net and you want to pick up a good read, buy {or check it out at your local library} steven pressfield's "The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles". a quick and fantastic read! this book was recommended to me by my younger brother, who is like a walking reference book... he is one of those people that knows a lot of random facts, quirky tidbits, and reads a TON. since the recommendation, i've read the book three times... after reading it, i get on this natural high where i feel like i can DO ANYTHING!

here is an excerpt from the book that i like...

Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance... Late at night have you experienced a vision of the person you might become, the work you could accomplish, the realized being you were meant to be? Are you a writer who doesn't write, a painter who doesn't paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what Resistance is.

ahhh... resistance. whatever your resistance is, i hope you battle it. have a great weekend!
