A brief addition and a little thought

The only link included in my blog about Alan Moore is a link to the wikipedia page about FROM HELL. Alan Moore doesn't believe in the internet, so he doesn't have an official website and most fan-sites suck. So here's his wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore


and now for a little thought:

Ya know what poem I REEEEAAAALLLLLY don't like? The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Don't get me wrong: It was cool in middle school when you were trying to find yourself and thought of yourself as rebellious or whatever. But I really don't like how it's been adopted by everyone and their mothers to act as a testament to their individuality. If everyone takes the road less traveled, it then becomes the road most traveled and therefore, individuality doesn't exist.

  1. Loving your review here--and the tidbit that Moore doesn't believe in the Internet.

    But the Internet believes in him!

    And yes, The Road Not Taken has become awfully over-exposed.

  2. Yes I agree with your statement about that poem. It's an over-stated poem that people probably just like it because they have no other poems they understand.

  3. I like the comments that I am reading. I can say that the first time I read this poem by Robert frost I understood it just at that moment and I too fell in love with it. I thought it was easy to understand and it gave a clear message that everyone could have some sort of relation to. It's funny how people fall in love with this poem just because it's easy to understand but challenge them with another poem that's more complex and they hate it!...smh
