Workaholic

I never believed the stories of how overworked everyone was, when I was growing up. Coming into middle school changed my perspective for the better. Nowadays I'm just like everyone else, working or dreading about work (schoolwork) almost every moment of our just too short lives. Sleep has become a fantasy, relaxation is an afterthought. Does life still continue, even under stress, work, and the other pitfalls that we have to navigate in our lives? Only time will tell.

Flipsyde

Flipsyde as some of you know are credited with penning up the new hit "Someday" which is also used as the theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. Flipsyde is a blend of pop with some rap which makes it great. I was not a fan of rap at all, but after listening to "Someday", I love Flipsyde. Their video(with the U.S olympic team) is on Itunes for Free, and their debut album "We the people" is on the Billboard Heatseeker charts. I highly recomend Flipsyde to all of you, and it is the first music artist that raps(kind of ) that I like.

Nickle and Dimed

Nickle and Dimed is an riveting book about America's working poor, written by Barbara Ehrenreich. The novel is about her journey from upper-class writer to part of the millions of Americans that are called the working poor. They are the people that fry our fries, clean our sheets at hotels, and take care of our children. She spends 3 months working as a undercover reporter, as a foreigner in her own country. The author sees life as someone in poverty, someone at the bottom of the food chain, trying to work his/her way up the pyramid, towards a better life. It is a very thought provoking and deep read and it is one of the best books I have ever read.
I rate it 5/5, and I encourage you to buy a copy of it.
