☼ Tribute to Matthew Shepard ☼
Matthew Shepard, born December 1st, 1976, was brutally beaten on the night of October 7th, 1998. After being lured to a remote area in east of Laramie Wyoming and being beaten to the point of unconsciousness he was tied to a fence left to die. He was found 18 hours later after after a cold night by a passing bicyclist.
While this is an extreme example of what hatred can do to both the victim and the perpetrator, Matthews story is not the first of its kind or the last.

This week I have made my playlist similar to a movie soundtrack.
If you have time, please listen to it from beginning to end and let me know what you think.
I am being told that there are issues with my page loading. I think it may be the browser. If you are still using Explorer, I suggest giving Mozilla FireFox a shot. Pages load much faster with it and it has a lot of groovy features. It does take some getting used to tho.
As a reminder, I am using my 'top friends' spots to reflect the weeks theme. For those of you that I talk to regularly, please do not consider this a reflection of what I think of our friendship. The top friends spots get rotated almost every week.
