A good way to make a bad day worse is watching 'Of Mice and Men.' I watched the final scene from that in my theater class. So of course, I then thought about 'Flowers for Algernon.' Crying when I'm sick makes being cramped in that room tedious.
I shouldn't complain because in school I have been watching lots of documentaries of the poor and people of third world countries. But I think people of higher status are more of a tragedy. Impoverished people never get a chance to make a big impact on the world. Unless their bloodline leads to someone who does. Yet the 'wealthy' have the power to change things, and simply dont because that half-a-million dollar sofa is a little too comfortable. Before anyone judges, I dont mind being a hypocrite. I'm not about to give any money to those that are impoverished, but being a hipocrite doesn't make what I say any less true.
Last night was one of the best nights of my life. When I am sick, my mind goes through very deep thoughts. I feel for the first time in ages things that matter to me. It's sad waking up and knowing the world is still as disapointing as ever. Even more so that I dont know how I felt, just that I felt it.
There are two nice idea's I have. One is a story about five people and there encounter with someone named Jeremy. Jeremy is the main character, but the story is told one by one by the five who encounter him. And each has a different discription of what he was like.
The other is a serial killer who kills with AIDS. He is HIV positive and injects his blood into red coolaid to serve at social gatherings. I would have to do research to see if AIDS can be transmitted that way. If not, then I will have him stalk, sedate, eject, and then release people back without them knowing they are infected. A lot like fish researchers who catch a fish, hook some probe to it, and then monitor its progress when they release it.
My grand dream would be for it to do with HIV positive people, what Jaws did to sharks. But, alas, it is still just a dream.
