The Documentary

Now that I have you all hooked, I want to announce something very exciting: There should be a documentary to go along with this blog. The reason I say should be is because I haven't gone out to shoot much footage... yet. Real life and the weather can be chaotic sometimes. I'm hoping to have a little preview up by February. The working title is: "RIC: The Landmine", because honestly it is. When you live in The Fan/VCU area, there's always construction. And it isn't always safe. It's especially not safe when you have to jaywalk, cars driving in front of you, construction workers yelling at you, and yes, often construction workers stalking you. This IS my life.  When I was in college, I saw a documentary called "Gardens of Death". It was a documentary about children in other countries who lost their limbs and lives to undetonated land mines. When I was thought of a title documetary, that was all I could think of was landmines. No, people with disabilities don't usually lose their lives or limbs to a pothole or a dirt ramp. But it shreds us of our dignity. I'll explain that in the next one. Just think about that for a little while.
