    Kony – more than meets the eye?

    Thoughts on Kony 2012. Socially inept though I am, the furore surrounding the “Kony 2012” documentary has not escaped me. After watching the half hour documentary detailing the horrific and undeniably evil crimes that this man has no doubt committed, the die-hard cynic in me was still somewhat sceptical.

    Graduation coming soon…

    As I plunge into my final academic term at university, there is more than a little panic in the air about what awaits me after I receive my dissertation BART receipt.
