There is a reason why, being already 25 years old, I still have not voted. I among those who struggle to have an opinion. I am among those that find the need to walk in everyone elses shoes but their own. Now, being here in southeast Asia, I am working to understand the lives of the foreign, the motivations, the desires. To make the foreign familiar, and delete the concept of the 'other' as we are all involved in the struggle for love.

Comic relief

If you are up for a good laugh listen to the March 5 podcast of Laugh out Loud. The second half features Canadian comedian, Arthur Simeon. Originally from Uganda, his insights on the NGO birthed stereotypes towards the continent of Africa and the Westerner's need to "go and help out" made me both laugh and cringe inwardly as I saw myself in the butts of his jokes. Daaaaang, you said it Arthur Simeon.
