april 29th

do we live in fear
of suffering careers
from failure
to shed our own tears?

i'm jazzed man, can't BELIEVE the news today...

I normally would pass this off as some NYC region drama if I weren't living in the city currently, but seriously! its the anniversary of the LA riots of '92! 

Now, I am in now way a cop and never will be (no offense cops). But I would imagine firing 50 shots at someone must be caused by some serious drama. obviously, i will never know the details of this incident, but the parallels cannot be ignored! 

i happened to be reading the wikipedia entry on the la riots last night while sitting at a moderately enjoyable theatre event put on by this "college" i went to for a "time." in the wiki, it said that the media coverage for the riots was extensive but also included outraged interviews on the streets, which obv must've ignited the riots further. it was stated that further coverage on the riots was skewed to be of less violent nature. 


rage, sublime, tupac.... etc

someone might read this.
