Parents woke me up today. Made me have a pancake. It tasted alright, but I wasn't really hungry and don't know if I will be for the rest of the day.

Protests and police repression in Venezuela during the whole week, including yesterday, so valentines day wasn't much of a holiday for anyone. It sounds sick, but that actually made me feel relieved.

A few people have died and there are tons of people behind bars for protesting. The media here is being censored, but you can get the real story on the web and international news outlets. People here are sick of the terrible economic policies of the government, the dangerous security situation we face nationwide, institutional corruption, and extensive food shortages. I don't know what will happen today, but I'm so angry that college kids, babies in my eyes, have died, and there are still people in this country who blindly spout the government rhetoric. They sound like a looped tape, no thinking involved, just government propaganda. I don't even think they understand what they're saying.

Yesterday on cnn en espanol, I was watching a show called conclusiones. They were interviewing the diplomatic chancellor (Secretary of State? I don't know what you would call it in English) of Venezuela, and while he absolutely denied that police repression was going on during he protests, they had some gruesome tapes and photos looping on the split screen. His answer to that was that he did not know the origin of that media, and that he had no evidence that those scenes actually took place. It was disgusting to watch him lie like that. Rihanna and ****ing Jared Leto (check their twitter accounts) know that something is happening, but a high ranking Venezuelan official does not. Give me a break.

Anyway, this probably isn't the right forum for political topics, but it pisses me off so there it is :P going back to topic, today I'm going to start my 15mg of lexapro, and I'm going to keep reading the book I have been mentioning. I hope that today's protests are peaceful!
