London, it's been 20 years and I'm still here.

I left for a city with more job opportunities, a transit system that included subways, streetcars and buses that arrived every 10 minutes. Toronto was everything and more for a single woman who just turned 21. What brought me to London Ontario? Why did I stay? Why do I want to leave again? I think "Semester at Sea" is calling me...to be part of the Faculty...OoohEeeeeee!

Thanks for adding The Life of Reile to Western Blogs

I received an email from Communications and Public Affairs, Western University that my blog was added to their student directory. You can see a lot of interesting things here:

After flirting with an iPhone for a month, here's why I switched back to a BlackBerry. The iPhone was fun, don't get me wrong, but I know where my loyalties lie.

KONY 2012 - You have to watch this. Objectively.

So Kony is quickly becoming a household name ... thanks to a viral YouTube video that exposes the Ugandan warlord as the bloodthirsty leader of a child army and child prostitution ring.

In the YouTube video, producers beg for celebrity support to raise awareness and showed a picture of Rihanna, in an effort to get her involved. You have to watch this, and also read about the criticism the organizers are facing.

To me, the video reeked of over-egged rhetoric and poor attempts at emotional blackmail. But Gavin is cute! Watch it, and keep in mind that Kony hasn't been in Uganda since 2006. Evangelical Christians have bad days, such as naked meltdowns; it's normal in California. 


I had to ask myself: Am I falling for something or am I standing for something? The answer is neither falling or standing; I am sitting, just staring while watching it all fall apart with all the drama one could expect of a dramatic arts major. Wasn't the goal to make Kony famous?
