Condomleeza.........LMFAO!!!

I recently saw a film called Infamous in which there is a very graphic hanging scene, that was bad enough but at least I knew it was just acting. This was not only real but was also a man we have all 'known' for years and years.

that, among other reasons, is why I will not watch the video of the execution. I know it would haunt me - seeing a real killing..no matter how evil the man I can't sit and watch someone's death like that...

I opened that video - it started and I promptly closed it. I knew I would never be able to get that image out of my head, so I've still never seen it.

I made the mistake of clicking on a link on someone's MySpace page - it was a funny picture but it took me a horrid site full of really disturbing images...car accident scenes, shooting aftermath etc...some of them have never left my brain. So no, I don't give into my morbid curiousities...but they are there.

I dont wanna see the execution....Hell, seeing James Brown in an open casket is disturbing enough.
