I was on my way to post this thread when I read the one below it, about the worker dying on the road near bonnaroo. Anyway, it just made it more relevant.
I was packing up and organizing my things tonight for bonnaroo and it just struck me. I am packing up a shelter, food, clothes, water... all in excess of what I need for survival. This is all just for a fun weekend. I have double if not triple what I need in the world, and I am a broke college student/ kitchen worker. I am so lucky to be taking this trip. I just don't know what I did to deserve it. I'm no better than anyone else, just lucky.
There are so many people that have nothing. I've got extra money, extra food, extra time... not all that much, but its there. I am so fortunate.

this kind of thought often hits me, and i there's this feeling that accompanies it that's not quite guilt, but just a realization that there's so much i take for granted that i should really be so grateful for.
i don't want to harsh anyone's or my buzz with feelings of guilt, so i'll celebrate my good fortune by having an incredible time at bonnaroo.
i was watching a specail about the Tsunami last night, and it really gives you a reality check. These people had nothing to begin with, then it gets washed away. But again, we cant help what we were born into, just like they cant.
A similar feeling hit me the other day when I was fretting over how "disorganized" and "unprepared" I'll be this year and almost started feeling sorry for myself. How pathetic -- pretty quickly I snapped back to reality and realized that I have a lot of crap that others would kill for and will be just fu*king fine for a couple of days partying with 80,000 of my best friends.
