Kinda of a Downer
Just finished watching RENT...I know I am like the last person to see it. It was an awesome movie. It is one of 3 or 4 movies that made me cry (people that know me well know that I don't get emotional like that). I can't remember how to do a cut so that people that don't want to read this don't have to. So the rest of this entry is a little sad.
The reason for the tear jerker was that someone very close to me has AIDS, and I know that people don't "die" from AIDS they die from another virus/infection/whatever that invades their weakened immune systems. Still...my only thought was that I am going to lose this person in a similar way that Angel died. He has been very lucky so far and has not been sick in years, but has been off his meds since September 2006...and I can't do anything about it.
Why do I even post this? Maybe in some small way to raise awareness, get out my anger or sadness. I don't know. I wish that he would do something about it instead of feel sorry for himself. I wish that I was a better public speaker so that I could do something in my own way. I wish I could do something.
