I'm at work...exhausted and bored. My supervisor went home so I'm screwing around on the computer. I can't believe I have a class after this. Seriously...someone just kill me now. I didn't get much sleep last night...kept having these really strange/nightmarish dreams about some demon girl or something. Nightmares definitely do not make for a restful night. Anyway...I'm gonna stop my bitching.
I was reading this article on CNN about this disturbing trend of teenagers killing or attacking homeless people. They call it killing for sport or something. Apparently, the number of teens participating in this activity was at its highest last year. It completely boggles my mind. I mean, I remember being a teenager, it wasn't that long ago, and I do remember being angsty and moody and bitchy more often than not but I never wanted to KILL someone. I mean, I may have said on occassion "I'm going to kill him/her!" but it was never a serious statement. It makes me fear for the future of our society...seriously. Sure, adolescent brains are less developed than adult brains (specifically in the area that's responsible for understanding consequences) but...I thought that normally lead to having sex too young or drinking alcohol and trying pot. I mean, those things are NORMAL. Killing people? Not so normal. Anyway, you should read the article. I myself found it quite disturbing...but maybe that's just because I'm naive and still like to believe in the good in people. I wonder if I'm a total idiot.

Sleep at work? What a great idea!
But seriously, that's very disturbing, killing homeless people. I used to be a firm believer in the goodness in man...then I met Ben...
