Rwanda
The Rwandan conflict of the 1990s marked one of the bloodiest chapters in recent African history. The genocide was made all the more tragic by the fact that most of the world chose to ignore the conflict and the plight of the Rwandan people. While occasional reports about "tribal warfare" in Rwanda were carried by international news agencies, the horror of the conflict, instead of causing international outrage, seemed to be written off as another "third world incident" and not worthy of attention.
Over the course of 100 days, almost one million people were killed in Rwanda. The streets of the capital city of Kigali ran red with rivers of blood, but no one came to help. There was no international intervention in Rwanda, no expeditionary forces, no coalition of the willing. There was no international aid for Rwanda. Rwanda's Hutu extremists slaughtered their Tutsi neighbors and any moderate Hutus who stood in their way, and the world left them to it.
Amidst the horrendous violence and chaos that swept the country, one of the many heroes to emerge was Paul Rusesabagina, an ordinary man who, out of love and compassion, managed to save the lives of 1268 people.
In part of the movie this man Paul ( a real life person) can not believe how the entire world has deserted Rwanda. The UN pulls out, foreign troops come in but only evacuate their own people. He stands there while troops are rescuing everyone but them and a journalists says to Paul that people will see what is happening on the news say it is awful and go back to eating their dinner. Repeatedly the US denied that genocide was taking place. In a matter of 100 days one million people were slaughtered. I don't use the word killed because when someone cuts you up with a machete you are not simply killed. I will never understand how this kind of hate can exist in someone.

My Office
On a happier note I cleaned my keyboard at work for the first time in a year. Finally I found some unguarded Office Duster Spray. Everyplace I have ever worked they guard this stuff like it's gold. Why? In any case I snagged the can and cleaned the heck out of my key board. It was so dirty and gross there was an actual dust bunny stuck in the keys. I wish I had a camera phone so I could have taken a picture of it.

Update
In any case this is a good lead in to my week update. Let's begin with I always deal with the difficult people. At the best party I've been to in a long ass time some how I was the only one with the balls to throw this huge loser out of PMT's party. Let's just keep in mind there was a pretty equal guy/girl ratio. Again I get stuck dealing with the difficult people. In any case I won't feed this idiot's ego with speaking too much of him. Let's just say going to someones house and acting in the manner he did and then trashing various things AND THEN pissing off my sister is not a good idea when I am around. I don't fuck around when it comes to my friends and family.
Arizona was so much fun. I want to live there now I think. I am addicted to the pool and tanning. My sister thinks this is gross, but I love the sun. It's a by-product of growing up in buffalo with no sun. So yes AZ was fun. Then I went to Buff. Oh boy. I had so much fun I can't go over everything. I'll give some highlights:
Cindy- enough said
Paul in general
Discovering (e:jason) & (e:joshua) do exist and then realizing they are actually nice and fun and can party it up with the best of them!
Fat Bob's with Cindy
Pano's
Seeing my old high school friends
Garden Walk
Seeing my old apartment- aww I miss you
