Too much happening at once
“I’m off on a rocketship prepared for something new
I’m off on a rok-it-ship ecstatic with the view
I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don’t have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I’m not what they are”-- Guster “Rocketship”
There are a billion things going on in my head right now.
First, again I am completely outraged. Outrage as an emotion has been occurring a lot lately. Right now there is this huge scandal in Dallas, Texas. Two years ago the police began busting all these Mexican migrants for allegedly being involved in a cocaine ring. 80 people were sent to jail, all had public defenders. One of the accused uses their child’s college fund to hire a private attorney. Turns out that the evidence that was being used to convict all of these immigrants was chalk dust (as in pool hall chalk dust).
They crack open this vast conspiracy amongst police officers, labs that supposedly tested the drug, find out the certain informants never existed. I could go on but you get it. Remember 80 People Jailed. And then the DOJ drops the ball. Completely. The one cop they had for being involved in this is acquitted. So far, nobody is being made to pay for this. It is a travesty. Go to the NPR webpage to learn more.
Sometimes I just get so disgusted.
Second thing on my mind—Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. I swear every time I think I have seen how deep denial can run it surprises me again.
Third—I have an exam in a few hours. Tomorrow I begin taking a 24 hour exam. Then I have to begin intensely researching a paper before I leave.
Last-I WANNA GO TO TALLAHASEE SO BAD!! As the janitor in my law school says, “Tallahassee is beautiful, it’s like an Easter Sunday.” And indeed it is, I swear it is.
