war. huh. what is it good for. absolutely nothing. mmm. absolut. heh heh.

fuckers just can't wait to pull the trigger can they? granted the bad boy from baghdad ain't the sweetest man alive, but the junior seems a little too eager to finish his daddy's business. so i guess we're gonna go to war ... with the largest non-nuclear bomb available no less. i haven't found the yield on those suckers anywhere and i'm dying to know. i guess pusshing 10 tons of dynamite out of a plane sounds like a good idea, but i wouldn't want to be anywhere near it. the yield has to be a lot more than just 10 tons ... i'm hoping for at least a kiloton ... exactly how much boom do you need to make a mushroom could anyway? and while i'm not particularly fond of the french by any means, unless you're talking about their maids, heh heh, i don't want to start going to mc donalds and ordering freedom fries. that's just lame, and way too patriotic, government, new world order for me. next thing you know we'll be lining up for soma or soylent green.

but enough war drums for one night. things are starting over. the days are getting longer. things are progressing towards their endings and a whole new life seems to be awaiting. i should be excited i suppose, but there's that cloud of uncertainty hovering overhead. don't know where i'm going to end up yet ... won't be in the same place though ... i am sure of that now. i wish i could just know now how it's all going to fall out and at least ease the worries. but it's gonna just be wait and see.

as for the rest ... drinkin too much ... eatin too much ... thinking too much. getting back on track with all that this week though. thinkin's the hardest part ... or at least not thinkin. i'm still wounded come to find out. too many comparisons and what if's for my own damn peace of mind. one day when they rip my cold dead body apart and weigh my heart they'll find a brand upon it. i'm kind of hoping the 18th letter is still visible, just because it meant so much, but i pray that some other letter has covered it and i died happy. in the meantime the scars continue to heal and i continue to grow up more than i ever really wanted to.

peace to you and may someone bomb some sense into the french.
