The other night-I don't know what possessed me to do so, but I watched the Nicholas Berg video.
It's disrespectful that it's even so widely distributed, I cannot imagine how his family feels. I really don't know why in that one second I hit 'play' I just discarded that and became another stupid voyeur.
I stopped it just before the end because I thought I was either going to cry or throw up. It was awful, obviously. They made it as awful as possible.
It made me angry and not in a patriotic way, but just a human way. It made me annoyed that I am sitting in a house, with two cats, and 10 pairs of sneakers, CDs and user manuals scattered around, wishing I didn't have to work in the morning, wondering if this aloe vera lotion is going to stop me from peeling.
It made my chest hurt, I couldn't sleep all night.
I felt like I should never forget it, like I should feel ashamed. Im not sure exactly why that is either.
It's scary, the ferocity of men.
Using people as "collateral", some kind of screwed up intellectual property. Poker chips.
