Blood Diamonds

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Watch Blood Diamond tonight. Great film. It deals with so many issues, so well. The concept of TIA (This Is Africa) as a used by whites of accepting the unacceptable, the use of child soldiers and of course conflict diamonds are all dealt with well. The end of it made me cry a bit, it really does have good story telling.

I want to help this world be less crap.
I pray that I will never become apathetic to the suffering in this world.

Bloody Cityrail

There was no train running to the airport tonight. I had to catch a cab to central that cost $20. I managed to just make an express train to Hornsby where my Dad kindly gave me a lift home. Mannaged to write a lot down on the plane which was good. Helped me process.

South Africa is now firmly on the places that I want to vist in the next few years. So tired.. Winding down is hard.. but I am dead tired. So I think it’s time to get in bed.
