Runaway

Check this out. It's a short film my cousin in film school created.

And the elections were a success...

Well that's what the government would have you believe. Nigerians supposedly voted Yar'Adua--he officially garnered over %70 of the votes--as the next civilian president of my beloved homeland, Nigeria. Now don't get me wrong, his opponent, Buhari, is probably the worse of two evils but c'mon, who's going to believe such a disparity in the voting count. Okay, I'm happy that there was at least a vote--that's a huge step for almost any country these days, heck even the US can't seem to get that part of democracy exactly right and they've had over two centuries to try to get there--but that still does not excuse the reports of voting improprieties and malpractices that were allegedly rampant. But there is hope, and where there is hope there is faith, and with faith, determination, which, Lord willing, will move our fledgling democracy in the right direction. God bless Nigeria.

Just taking a moment to honor the memory of those slain in the horrifying shootings at VT this week.

The time for debate is NOT now. We'll get there soon enough.

God's comfort and our prayers go out to all who have been affected directly by this tragedy.
