What's Worse?

Would you rather be a Columbian Drug Mule or an albino?

I watched Maria Full of Grace late last night and boy was it good. It had the feel of a documentary almost, it was inimate and involving. I particularly liked the realistic nature in which the writer/director explored the concept of a drug mule, especially the realism concerning how the drugs are smuggled. Very gritty shit. Made me think about how I'm happy I don't need to turn to something like being a mule to survive.

I also bought a Smoothie in town yesterday and was assisted by a man who was in his late 30's and albino. I thought about how his life must be so different than mine just because of how he looks. A kid I work with said he used to work at the smoothie place in question and knew the guy. Apparently he is a total Dungeons and Dragons guy, lives for managing the smoothie place and has zero "real" friends. This confirmed my suspicion that being an albino must suck.

But he makes a mean smoothie so he is better than you.
