'Lo! It's been a while, and my last journal entry was way too boring and way too long. So I'll just get to the point: the theme of this journal entry is selflessness. Our first example is an African-American construction worker who, while waiting for the subway, saw a Mexican suffer a seizure and fall onto the tracks. Without thinking, the man instantly threw himself over the Mexican and pressed him against the ground. The train went over them, and they both survived. That is courage. Second example: a man on death row's last wish was for a pizza to be delivered to every homeless man in the immediate vicinity of the prison. But the prison refused, saying that they didn't grant charity last wishes. When the story got out, people donated hundreds of pizzas to local homeless shelters, over $1,200 worth of them. Just hours after this kind man was executed, an unthinkible act of charity commenced and every homeless man was fed.
In other news, there is a new addition to the format of my journal entries. From this entry and on, there will be a "I just finished reading:" section. So enjoy!
I just finished reading: Tom Sawyer. Loved it! Tom is so naiive and loveable! Rating: 8.5/10 (Rating adjusted for time period written in)

This land is my land,
Looks like one of us
Has a forged deed to this land"
