Sometimes people listen to me...

Yesterday morning started out like any other morning. I woke up. Rose from my bed. Walked over to my cell phone and picked it up to check my daily weather txt message. High 55 partly cloudy. There was another txt message in my inbox. It was from my friend Aaron and it alerted me to the passing of a legend. Kurt Vonnegut's life had come to an end the night before. He was certainly an idle of mine and a great inspiration to myself and countless other authors. Just read any of my works and the parallels are obvious. The news saddened me greatly and set a tone for the day ahead. If you havent picked up any of his writing grab one. Anything will do. I suggest Timequake for a light satirical commentary on todays society. Welcome to the monkey house is also an easy read and a collection of his short stories. All the kin's horses is my favorite from that particular read. The literary world owes much to Mr. Vonnegut. He will be missed greatly.... 1922-2007
