Happy and sad all within four hours.

It seems as of late that every day and night in my life is an event. Saturday I went to the film fest and my PSA was shown and I even got a certificate for the PSA, it was a good night. I spent time with Albert, Annette, and Ms Nora as well as meeting new people and some other friends. This was the happy part. I took Nora to the theater to shoot the play again then I left the fest to pick her up and take her home. She decided she wanted to show support for my PSA so she came to the fest and watched some movies and the PSA then I took her home on the North Side and again rushed over to the South Side to finish up with the fest And to pick up Al G and Annette. Believe it or not I was so busy I left the fest twice and returned. Busy, Busy, busy. As for the fest my favorite flick was called Grim a short film. I liked this the best. I also was glad to be acknowledged, but it was just a bonus for me. What I cared most about is that people saw my work. It is the work that matters to me. One person even asked me who sponsored my PSA? Who backed it? I said nobody did. I did it all with Nora and myself. He was shocked., he thought what I made was pretty damn good, his words, not mine. I thanked him, but what I liked best is three people said they won't forget to put on their seat belts from now on and this is what is most important not me, not the PSA, but saving lives.

Now, for the sad part. I warn you it is sad at least to me it was. I'm sure many people may laugh at it or say I'm too sensitive, but I don't care, it is who I am and how I feel. So, here goes. I warn you if you have feelings and are a caring person this one may make you very sad.

After taking Al G. back to my house I had to get some medicine for my cat. I was on my way to Wal*Mart. I was driving on Lebanon Road and I saw a head moving on the road, it was the head of a dying deer. It was hit by somebody who was so mean and frankly evil that they hit it and left it to die. I did not see who hit it, but I can tell you anyone who would leave an animal or person to die in severe pain IS A SICK PERSON DEVOID OF LOVE, FEELINGS, COMPASSION, OR A SOUL! They left this poor deer to be hit again till it was crushed to death! Well, I saw the poor thing and I stopped my car, turned it around, and called 911. I then got another car to stop and we watched as this deer died. I felt so helpless!! But, in truth, not even a vet could have saved this poor animal, it was crushed, only part of it's upper body and head could move,.but this poor dying animal would not give up. It fought till it died it wanted to live. This poor deer wanted only to cross the road and now it is dead because of someone who hit it because most likely they were speeding,. but the point is this. Sure, accidents happen. I understand that even if it was the result of speeding it most likely was an accident, but what I despise is that they left it to be hit again and die in extreme pain!! If I could stop my car and call the police then they could have done the same thing..Let's face it this is a form of evil! And think about this if they do it to an animal then they would do it to a human being!!

No, I am not a hunter and I have no desire to be one and yes, I do eat meat, but if I liked veggies more I would no longer eat meat. I love all living things and most animals. If this makes me weak because I have feelings for animals and get angry and sad when I see a dead animal on the road then I am glad I have such a weakness! I may be a tough guy some of the time, but I have feelings and I care about Humanity and animals.

I was not even going to make a post today until late Sunday night / Monday morning, but seeing this poor animal die in front of my face changed all of that. If I could have saved it's life I would have but there was nothing I could do.
