So, me and Brandon rented a movie on Sunday night. It was called City of God. I strongly recommend that anyone who actually reads this go out and rent it immediately!! It was probably the best movie Ive seen in a very long time. Its all about this city in Brazil near the Rio De Janeiro. I cried so intensely over some parts. And the worst thing is that it is based on a true story. But this movie really got me into the mood to help. So, Im no looking into a volunteer program that works with the favelas (slums) of Brazil. Its a lot of money, but you stay for 12 weeks with a family and volunteer 10 hours a week teaching and watching over the kids that live there. They also provide you with 20 hours a week of classes in Portuguese. It would be so amazing. I encourage everyone to watch it due to the fact that it will make all your so called "problems and angers" seems completely insignificant. I watched this movie and cannot believe some of the things I thought I had tough in my life. I cannot believe some of the things that I, people Im friends with, or people I have encountered get upset about enough to make themselves seriously crazy. It also makes me seriously hate violence. Violence is ridiculous. What in the hell can make a person resort to wanting to harm another person? We as human beings have done this little thing I like to call "evolving" which allows us to speak our minds instead of fighting each other. What drives some one so insane that they can no longer talk? Its like watching all those fights outside of bars at night. These people look ridiculous! They think it looks tough and macho when they actually look like a bunch of freakin apes circling around each other flexing their muscles. Maybe Im this way since Ive never had to fight. But I cant imagine myself actually throwing a punch at some one who I know doesnt really deserve to be hurt. If Im mad I can just talk to them. Why not? Ive only been seriously threatened twice in my life. One time I threw a punch but then stopped and vowed to myself that I would never do it again. The other time I didnt even bother to budge while this person was coming at me. Im not going to allow myself to do that. Maybe I was smart and knew fighting was wrong or maybe I was just scared of getting my ass kicked by some one bigger than me, but either way, fighting resolves nothing. You can especially see this in that movie! WATCH IT!! Like I said it will seriously make you feel stupid about ever feeling like you dont have it good or like some one just ruined your life over something small .... get over it and watch this movie!! I beg you people!!
