I truly believe in being “taken” by something..someone.. anything… that out of this world feeling of senseless bewilderment .. grasping for control but consciously free falling to that desired feeling of utter bliss... maybe awareness..… there is the sought that happens between two strangers… maybe at first sight.. or through incessant involvement…. whatever the case… they are feverishly taken by each other… and there is splendor in it all… the unusualness… the uniqueness of that feeling… I may be crazy.. but being “taken” by something..... someone...absolutely takes my breath away:)…

ILLINOIS REPEALS THE DEATH PENALTY
I started interning with Amnesty International USA on Monday, January 10, 2011… and they put me right to work… I wouldn’t call it work though since every single assignment or task that needs to be done is like a erm..hmm.. what's the word.. ah yea.. a "hobby…" You get..lol…
One of my first assignments was to call people and ask them to call their Senators to tell them to vote yes on SB 3539 to end the death penalty…
I’m excited to say that the Bill was passed today, the Illinois House of Representatives and the Senate voted to end the death penalty!!! Woohooo.. and I contributed in helping pass the bill.. I feel amazingssss:)
