there you have it

Turned 27. Nothing devastating happened aside from sucking at my job. I was so fucking tired I feel asleep several times and it took me two hours longer than usual to do one show. Grrrrrrrr.

But then I came home, enjoyed some BBQ Chicken Bacon Papa John's pizza (mmmmmm), guzzled some Soco and Coke and watched "The Last King of Scotland" with my boo. I love him, he's amazing, he makes me smile.

But that movie, god that movie. It made we wonder about the propensity for humans to manifest evil. Why is this so prevalent with African dictatorships? Why are humans so easy to follow without questioning? I don't believe education allows me to overlook, condone and even participate in horror. Is it just easier to go along without questioning? Ignorance makes me nauseous. Needless violence as a consequence of ignorance makes me unimaginably sad. Does that make me special? Does that make me an elitist? What is the cost of living above or arguably below the fray? What is the price of not following? I can't imagine that it's greater than slaughter in someone else's name.
