final blog

I just finished the book. I really liked the ending Harry's dad faked his death because he wanted to get out of the coke dealing business, he wanted to start a new life without using drugs. I don't know if harry will follow his father's model because he's become pretty messed up. But Alice is a different story, after Alex shows up she tells him that she's going to change, just like him, she's going to rehab like her parents have wanted her to for years and she's asked alex to be her sponsor. It was a great ending to a great book. :)

I'm getting close to the end of the book and something miraculous happened. Alice came face to face with Harry's father and this time it wasn't some acid trip or strung out frenzy. No it was actually the real deal, Harry's father, Alex, live in the flesh. You see this is a total upset because Alex was supposed to have died, they buried him. I got too tired last night and didn't get to read anymore because i fell asleep. But I'm really excited to read more tonight.

The last few chapters have been a little less than eventful but enticing none the less. Its been full of alot of partying and boozing, it seems that Alice is on a downward spiral and i hope something will pull her out. The other characters haven't progressed much since my last blog but i think its just mellowed out to get ready for something big. I just can't wait. Its so exciting.

In the past few chapters I've read of The Wrecking Ball Harry has had a hallucination while on acid of his Father and they had a good conversation. Alice has had some dreams where she talks to Charlie, Harry's dad, and she's also been hearing his voice in her head. I haven't determined why Charlie keeps popping up, but there must be some reason. Also it creeps me out just alittle bit that when he died he had Harry put his ashes into a kilo of cocaine to be sold. I can't help but think this might have something to do with the fact that harry and alice keep seeing him.

I've read a little farther into the book so far and nothing too intense has happened yet. I've noticed that Alice feels abandoned by Harry because he never answers her calls and they don't talk much anymore. Alice has been seeing Hugo a little more and it seems like a bit of a spark, Even though she's still dating harry. This reminds me of myself with my late girlfriend. It was different because instead of feeling abandoned by her I felt overwhelmed and found myself sparking relationships with other girls often leading to a one nightstand with a different girl each time, followed by a fight with my girlfriend and a few days loaded with drinks and buds to ease the feelings of remorse for what I'd done. Just the same this happened multiple times through out the last 8 months or so of our relationship. This book reminds me a lot of my recent life. I'm really liking it.

The book I'm reading is called The Wrecking Ball. It follows the lives of four kids named Alice, Rose, Hugo, and Harry. The main character is Alice who is dating Harry and used to date Hugo. Rose is her best friend and hugo is still a close friend of hers. I am about 75 pages in and so far nothing very interesting has happened. It has been about a week and it mostly talks about the parties they each go to every night and the mornings when they wake up hung over from drinking and sniffing coke. At one of the parties that Alice and Harry are both at they take acid and everyone thinks they see Harry's deceased father who made millions as Britain's largest coke dealer. I think this is going to come back as an important part of the book because it couldn't have just been a halucination if everyone around saw him. Thats just not they way acid works. i am really enjoying the book so far, it is something I can relate to. 

War On Terrorism

I just read an article about the government's attempts to diminish terrorist attacks on the United States otherwise known as our war on terrorism. The government has made alot of new rules in airports to reduce chances of another incident such as 9/11. the government is also working on systems to detect and prevent terrorist attacks before they can happen to save thousands of lives. I think that terrorism is very bad and its a good thing that it is being prevented.
