Reading the Dark Tower series is like falling into a well with no bottom. I'm reading about 130 pages a day yet still there is always a mountain of pages ahead of me. It's alright though because I like the distraction. Right now i'm about 1/3 the way through Wizard and Glass.
Events themselves are very nice, but my favorite parts in life are the build-up's to the events. Those little moments were the hair stands on the back of your neck as that countdown to zero comes without relenting. Those moments are forgotten the split second the event starts, and that feeling only comes back in the next moment just before you expect to do something big. The only problem with these events, is that if you make them yourself, you have to go through all the things that come after.
I have four months left until I choose which path to take in life. Once there I have to make a choice or one will be made for me and of course, with life there isn't any going back. The next four months will be a build-up, one that will grow faster and faster right up to the point that moment comes. So, dispite these last four months being a final countdown to something i've hated for a good portion of my life. There will still be a very good feeling underneath all that until then.
I dont think my birthday will be a happy one this year.
