Please keep in mind that this post is more than 3 years old. Opinions change. Tastes change. Everything changes. I may still agree with this, or like this, or I may not. But everything is kept up here for archival purposes.

my apartment, washington, dc

so im watching this miniseries on the 60’s. seems like everyone in it is trying to find themselves, and failing miserably, or fighting for a cause they arent sure they believe in. doesnt keep em from fighting of course.


I used to say that the people in my college were overly apathetic. But i havent seen much change since retruning to the “real world”. At least in school, I could hold a conversation. When was the last time you were so engrossed in a topic that you could sit till 5 in the morning talking?


nothing gets to people anymore.


in my life?


I saw us overrun a country to protect oil. weigh this on your moral scale: black fluid verses human lives.


I saw the bodies of servicemen dragged through the streets in africa.


Ive seen nearly every important woman in my life deal with rape.


I had to be careful on the streets of my hometown when I walked with my girlfriend, because we werent the same shade.


Ive personally had to watch the most beautiful little children leave a preschool and go home to families where theyll be abused; mentally, physically, and sexually.


I dont know.
