so weird

i read yet another major newspaper article today about the neverending recession, which was pretty darn scary, but not as scary as then perusing some photographs of aids in vietnam and feeling completely detached from the other hemisphere of the world. one of my greatest fears is being a poor global citizen. living in the states and in california in particular, it's tough deciding which consciousness of the world is fake and which is real. another reason to keep doing what we do and having compassion for what we don't do, because that's the only thing we can be really sure of.
