| March 27,2003 This is the coolest day. The atmosphere is very dramatic..thunder rolling in the distance...wind shaking the palm trees...an ominously dark and gray sky. I love it! Not too much to report. Spring Break is right around the corner and I'm really looking forward to that. I don't have many plans yet..so far I know I am babysitting and going to a Spanish movie that will be playing at the film institute with Caroline and a friend of hers. Other than that I don't know what I'll be up to. I might go with my Mom this Saturday to the flea market which is on a different key. She thinks she may take some merchandise from the store she works at and see if she can sell it. My Dad just proclaimed, "Storms a'coming daughter!" I wish I could do the diabolical atmosphere justice but alas my vocabulary is weak. Last night I dreamt that my job was to kill people that were on death row. Thing is my math teacher was the person handing me the little shot gun and it wasn't in a prison but of all places a judge's office (guess they didn't waste time on appeals and all of that). Anyway I think I had the dream because lately I've been conflicted on the death penalty, I don't know how I feel about it. I used to be for it but now I'm not so sure. My father pointed out that it is no less barbaric than any other ritual (burning "witches" on the stake, for example) and I realized he was right. Just because it is the accepted norm doesn't mean anything. In addition to that my Dad and I had a discussion on corporal punishment yesterday which for awhile I thought meant the death penalty so I think that is why it was on my mind. Back |
