Hong Kong
Today is Jan 1st 2004. There is another march for democracy, a six month anniversary of the last one. It’s very important. It’s for showing what happenned last time was not a fluke and HK people really DO want this and HK people will fight for it.
However, no one mentioned to each other because it’s a bad time in terms of we all knew last night would be a late one. Turned out not too late, and Boy in HK is already there going, “What aren’t you coming down?”
Yes, I should.
The whole city should be there RIGHT NOW. But I am not.
I feel ashamed but the truth is I am pretty hung over, I am pilled up on painkillers, my hair is in a tangle that I am having a hard time with, and my feet hurts, my throat is dry and I rather crawl somewhere and drink coffee and smoke cigs, while reading a book.
I really would.
But can one actually let personal punishment, pleasure and self inflicted pain prevent one from participating in a cause you believe in?
I guess not.
Argh. I so don’t want to do this. But I shall be there respesenting.
So for the first post of this new year.
We deserve Democracy.
We’re really sick of being ruled by others.
(I really suck. By the time I untangled my hair, etc. etc. It’s practically over. I was there is spirit in every way.)
