How do I begin with this? I personally doubt this blog will make me abruptly famous as you see most people.
I just want to get this out the way about myself before I begin, I'm am not an ascetic person or an optimistically happy one anymore; I'm recently cynical. 
I'll just spend today on critiquing my summer reading American Gods book.
Scratch that. 
I'll spend tonight on comparing Shadow to me.
Shadow was a very kind man from what was described from him. He loved to pass the time by staying to himself, day dreaming, and learning & practicing coin tricks. He got early out of jail ready to go home to see his family and be re-united with them. His whole world came crashing down when his only family (Wife and best friend) die in a car wreck. He traveled around the country with a stranger missing his family at times. That's a male version of my life to me. I love to stay all by my lonesome. I feel like I'm in jail right before I go to Bulgaria and then my whole world falls apart when I come back to America. Shadow's friendly yet quiet, I like that. I think I most dislike that the most I can relate to a person is a guy in a fictional book. But who knows, maybe it was meant to be like this for a reason.

  1. Interesting comparison by pairing yourself with Shadow. It raised more questions for me: Why do you prefer Bulgaria over the US? Why do you feel more connection with a fictional character over real people (not as uncommon as you might think, btw)? What did this realization show you about yourself? Maybe you're not comfortable sharing these things, but it made me curious.
