Greatest Rock 'N Roll Band In The World

Last night I went to the U2 concert at Key Arena. It was awesome! Easily the best concert that I've been to. A good mix of rock, showmanship, and an enthusiastic crowd. They played a good portion of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb as well as a lot of their older material including New Year's Day, Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Where The Streets Have No Name, One, The Fly, and Mysterious Ways.

A Farewell To Arms

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

I'm trying to become well-read. Last month I read Profiles In Courage by JFK and over the weekend I finished reading A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway. I'm not quite sure how to describe A Farewell To Arms. It's an interesting read to say the least. But, I also found it a little bit confusing. (Life was easier when you were in school and there was someone spoon-fed you the answers!?). I guess I'll have to ponder its meaning some more.
