rkttoday was a long, 13-hour day at the homeless shelter. i mostly love my job. some of the people i come in contact with make me wonder why. but it’s still more than just money. actually, i can barely even call it money, so it has to be offering something.
i’ll save the rants as to why the pay is so low for another night and time.
i’ve also been debating what i should do this weekend. yes, valentine’s day. valentine’s day is like christmas. even people who don’t believe in anything related to it, still celebrate and dump buckets of money into the holiday. not quite my style. there’s the uber-protest on the 15th. but protests aren’t my scene precisely. i’d rather find a more hands on approach and just get things done myself. there’s no way to stop an impending war. any protest, any demonstration, is at the mercy of media depiction. i have negative faith in the media. they suck. plain and simple. so while the act of protest might be therapeutic, dependant on my mood, the outcome would most likely be depressing.
this isn’t to say that one shouldn’t protest away. i’m all for it. but my heart bleeds enough the way it is. it’s not as hard or black as i sometimes prefer to pretend.
i wouldn’t even care, except that i know i will have to field questions related to the matter. maybe i’ll just plan to hibernate.
