Has it gone too far?

Yesterday felt like the end of the world... but after much soul searching I decided not to leave home just yet. I might wait to decide until after next semester. I've got a lot of things to figure out and I need to decide where I want my life to go. Props to everyone who gave me hope at the Against Me show!

I've got Mad Pride! Do you?

commentary on the billboard music awards:
beneath the crass commercialism, divisiveness and glorification of violence there is unity and even love somewhere to be found in all of us. the tribute to jam master jay was inspiring as artists from different races, sexes and genres joined together to celebrate the life of a soldier of peace. i was moved to the edge of tears by the unity and hope embodied in the embraces on stage and darrel mac and jmj's wife's speeches put me over the edge. unfortunately, somtimes it takes tragedy to bring people together.
