great gastby (not done with the book)

OH EM GEE...its been another super long hiatus from my blog, this is in large part to do with the fact that im lame and havent been feeling very inpirational lately...AND cause my internent has been down for over a month, so i come to you from my phone, thank jesus for smart phone (although this blog might be more error prone than usual) anywayss moving on...i have just finished reading the 7th chapter in the great gastby, as well as going over some of my past blogs, and they both made me want to write...im still not completely sure about wat...but ill will try to bring all my thoughts together in a moment....*sigh*...this isnt going well...

hmm, okay...i think i got it...the reason i started writing right now was cause i just finished reading sumthing very interesting to me...if you all have been slightly keeping up with the readings you all know that tom has been cheating on his wife and his wife is in love with gatsby and so on...well i have gotten so much outta reading this book but im frustrated..for many reason...well a whole bunch but for 1 most of all... tom is a selfish asshole, and gatsby is pretty selfish as well....

okay ..tom is a selfish because he wants to have the "love" of his mistress and his wife..he seems to want it all, with none of the responsibilities...like him a lot of people today "want" so much, but when the moment give a little back comes, they are to self-centered to think outside of themselves...gatsby is selfish because he is asking to much of daisy, to him it is easy to just up and leave without so much as a goodbye, but he cant see that daisy has had a life without him for 5 years...she cant just leave...yes she may love him, but for him to ask for a total life adjustment in the span of a day(or watever it was) is just too hard on a person...he must see, just as some of us today...that people indeed have limits...when we ask a friend to "borrow" their hwk, to fill us in on readings we may have missed, and to practically bend over backwards for us, we lose sight that although our friends are there to help us, we cant ask too much of them...and we must help them just as much in return

i know im not done readin great gatsby, and my opinon may change about these 2 characters..but wat will remain is my attitude on selffishness...

it is important to look after urself and ur own wellbeing...but keep in mind that we are a social species...so to be completley healthy we need ppl sumtimes...take care of them just as you do urself...

(sorry if its a lil incoherent...i wrote this on my phone lol)
