Bah.

So I've just watched Alpha Dog and now I'm all fucked up. I hate being reminded of how shitty our world can really be... The idea of some poor lad being killed for $1200 and some bruised egos is beyond me. I'm not sure what it was like, whether the film really captured the truth of the matter, but the essence is there. This poor kid ... I can't

That movie left me in a bad mood for days. It was really good, but after I watched the special features I was like, "Really? They would do that for a grand? Come on!!"

That's just it - it's got me all fucking upset because it was so fucking good, and so fucking well acted that I really feel for this kid and really am upset that he's actually dead. The whole time I knew he had to die because of the format of the film, even though I knew nothing about it, but I was like, 'Please no, please no, please no' and was slowly dying inside the entire time.

I've read once about a guy killing some kid for a pair of $200 shoes, so I believe this is completely 'normal' to these people, but I don't GET it at all.

Just so you know, I can't feel my hands right now and I'm trying to play guitar. It's going surprisingly well.

So is my typing, for that matter.

Wow. Yeah you're doing brilliantly for someone who can't feel his hands.

You know, I've never had that issue whilst drinking... I just drink until I'm so tired I pass out, but I'm completely fine the entire time, and usually REALLY happy.
