I am worried about giving up to the luxuries I have here (Odd because I have more material luxuries in Venezuela but I am guessing you understand which kind of luxuries I speak about) and just... stop fighting, stop questioning what is going on, I am so terrified about sinking and not caring because it is personal.

I have to see him fall.

Hi, I read the links you provided and appreciate your thoughts and feelings. Glad your friends are not hurt--enjoyed madgirlslove on this also and have asked to friend.

The example you use of having a parent go crazy and still be your parent or actually having a country go "crazy" and it still is your country is deeply hurtful either way isn't it? As I wrote that I thought of my US and hating what we're doing worldwide too ... I guess to take pride in the country in the sense of the people who are busting butt for justice is where I'd like to put my attention for the moment. In the sense of if I put my attention there and fed that, that it will GROW! Just a thought. (and not to deny or repress the hard stuff.)

Miguel de Unamuno got a few things right... For example, the blurs between fiction and reality are not necessarily so clear. This is definitely an example that Science Fiction exists not necessarily as fiction.

That's an intriguing quotation. Would you be willing to reccomend a book or two by him?

PS
I found your journal via searching those who are interested in Bukowski.
