Day 19 -- The Day That Had to Come

Well, I suppose today had to come. So tired from working hard and getting to bed late for several days now, I woke up when the alarm went off, and then slept an extra 20 minutes. Funny, I was still early(9 minutes) and I didn't regret the decision to sleep in afterwards.

On another topic, I resisted the urge to watch that video with the killer from Virginia on it. What's the point in releasing something like that into the public? I dunno. I didn't watch it, so maybe there was some point. But it seems wrong somehow. Like spreading negativity across the world or something. Obviously, people have a lot of thoughts about this topic. Feel free to comment if you like.



Total minutes early: 157

There was a lot of backlash from some of the networks for showing the video. Sometimes I think they go a bit too far.

Sounds like you're still doing great at being on time and progressing w. self-discovery. Re the VA Tech tragedy -- Lots of talk, and sadness, about it here in the U.S. - saw one college student wearing a crimson & orange ribbon today...Glad NBC decided not to show the video- we have enough bad stuff already w/o publicizing more "awfulness" for someone to think about or try to emulate.
