illiteracy

Ah, the joys of literature! For the longest time, I thought that books were just a convenient source of entertainment, a way to lessen stress, a method to improve vocabulary and intelligence. Most importantly, for me, it was a way to get lost in someone else's problems, someone else's life.
I was doing a little reading a little while ago, and it led me to ponder this: Do I even have a life?

Hello everyone, please allow me to introduce myself before going on to the topic at hand. 

I am currently a senior attending high school in North Carolina.  I am a white male, born and raised in the United States.  I will add more as I continue to add blogs, as I'd rather not ramble.
