Troy Davis executed after 11th-hour appeal fails at the San Francisco Chronicle
Linked above is an article covering the execution of Troy Davis last night. I was holding out hope until the very end that they would decide to give him a new trial, but my wishes were not to come true.
What troubles me about this entire case, is that it is a clear sign to the entire world of the weaknesses in our "Justice" system. People were watching and waiting to learn Troy Davis's fate worldwide. In the end, the number of supporters he had--even worldwide--and the glaring lack of evidence connecting him to the crime he supposedly committed 22 years ago, didn't matter.
If we are going to execute people who have not really been proven guilty, then no one is safe. Who's next?
Another thing I found this morning though, is this article. Should be interesting to see what they do.

Memorable
My goal for tonight that I posted on facebook before going out to spend time with some friends was this:
"Let's make tonight memorable; let's make tonight wonderful."
But why not every night? Obviously no one goes out and has the goal of being miserable and having an awful time...but why can we not always focus on having a great time and making sure everyone else around us does as well?
It's about creating memories; it's about living; it's about experiencing things together and creating something that will last with your friends for years to come.
Ten or twenty years from now, I'm sure most small nights won't stand out. They will have been forgotten. So why not make every night as wonderful and as memorable as possible...?
I'm going to work toward that.
