| Getting some smell back, but not really |

So I did a lot of resting this weekend. I'm not taking any more cold meds right now (ugh, I really do hate taking them...they make me nauseous), but I am still feeling a little tired. And I am extremely achey right now. I know it's from sitting for long periods of time at the computer this weekend. I got lots of Wayne time in :oops: Yesterday, Paula and I went to see [u]The Corporation[/u]. It's a documentary about the [negative] effects of big business having on the world, socially, economically, etc. I found this kind of stuff totally interesting. It all started when I was in university. I think that is also when I lost a bit of faith in humans. I won't go into my rant about big business, but after seeing that documentary, I feel guilt about buying anything. Back in 1997, there were student protests going on at the University of BC...It was hosting the APEC summit. Students got pepper sprayed...quite a hostile situation. But these students were standing up for their beliefs, including mine, but I didn't have the guts to go out there. Anyway, I remember talking to my parents about the issues, and they offered no support. They didn't agree with me (who cares if people don't have a choice to choose between their colas? Who cares if people work for 31 cents an hour?), and they sure were not going to support me if I got hauled off to jail for being in a protest (why would you put yourself in that situation?)! I don't know if I should feel lucky or take it for granted that I can type just about anything here with my thoughts on my country and how it's run and not be worried about being sent to jail...or persecuted. Babble can end here now. My brain is still a little fuzzy. |
