from green to black

winded

ever have something hit you hard as if the wind was
sucked out of your chest, and then realized nothing
hit you at all?

it happened today at the dreaded 4-6 intro to int'l
relations lecture. i couldnt quite remember why but
the lecturer quoted john steinbeck. (of course that
would mean nothing to anyone in particular but i
kindda just reacted)

"the best laid plans of mice and men do often go awry"

sure i guess it it means nothing as it stands, pretty
much like man proposes but god disposes or anything
along those lines.

then i wikied the quote and then i remembered the story.
i read it sometime ago when i was younger and i
remember being wrenched inside. killing your best
friend and a man who wouldnt know any better, so
childlike... all to protect him from the worse treatment
and death by the mob.

how wrenching is that?

well, i like my lecturers well read. :D
