Well, you may or may not be asking what's new with me, but I'm going to assume you did.
I'm leaving for Iraq again in about a week. You know what I'm going to hate the most about it? The traveling...I hate long distance flights. I don't know if I'll be able to get to Myspace too much over there, we'll just have to see.
I've just cruised through Flags of our Fathers and Flyboys, both written by James Bradley. If you're at all interested in WWII, especially the Pacific theater, then you should read both books. The wealth of information is incredible. Written a little dramatically, but still a very good read. I hope to see the movie tomorrow (that and Saw 3, which I heard was bloody as hell).
I'm getting really fed up with political rhetoric. I'm going to post something here that I wrote on a different website: "You know what we need more of in politics? Smartasses. Seriously, this rhetoric has gotten so ridiculous and derserving of ridicule that someone's gotta do it. I'd love it if, the next time O'Reilly opens his stupid head and some shit falls out of it like, "Don't you want us to win in Iraq," someone has the balls to point out how retarded the question is. I hope they say, "No, Bill. I don't want to win. I hope that we lose. I hope the terrorists win, and I hope that I'm beheaded as an infidel. I hate winning. When we lost every football game my freshman year of high school, I couldn't have been happier. Unless of course I was forced to convert to radical Islam, that is. For all intents and purposes, just assume that I vehemently disagree with everything you say, and I hope the world turns out exactly the opposite way you want it. If you love kittens, I hope they're rounded up and flattened with mining equipment."
Someone out there, besides me, has to see the need for some serious snarkiness and thinly veiled sarcasm. The pundits are getting to the point where they're taking themselves and their little soundbites way too seriously."
I can't stand the way our governments are treating us, both citizens and fighters. They're just standing on their soapboxes, screaming at each other, and they're NOT DOING ANYTHING!! Maybe, somewhere, someone is drawing up plans that are going to give us a picture of how to win in Iraq, but between vague braindead arguments that boil down to "We Should Get Out" and "But Dont You Want To Win?" I think I could puke. 100 Americans died in Iraq this month. 3 a day. 3 American families and communities were totally fucked up every day, for a month.
If you're a voting citizen in this country, I'm begging you to help me out in demanding some results from our elected officials. Project Runway will be out on DVD next year, so you're not really missing anything on television.
