Out of my head, I sang.
Comments on commentary-

Mr. Fett- I know someone who plans to be the one man, haha. It's going to be a long few years!..

Erin- =D Do they rock? WHY YES THEY DO.

Shinfaru- Yeah, I've got some rarer RPGs people crave. Example: Suikoden 1 and 2.

Leaful- The rocking continues! Hoo hah!

Eff de Aye- Competition, my good friend! Without it, the sects humanity has divided itself into seem to crumble! Who can compete with the U.S. at the moment? No one! China is getting there, but you don't hear alot of good things about the Chinese Navy- which makes them significantly less powerful! The Cold War spurred on science and technology [the Space Program for example] for a reason- they were out to prove something to the "other" side!

Without competition, everything stagnates!

Leaful- Uh, horray for showering?

Neil- Iraq is still salvageable as long as the US citizenry doesn't wimp out like in Vietnam. Military superiority is assured- just, suddenly, it is unacceptable for people to *die* in *war*. Even if this is one of the lowest casualty counts for any war, it's not "right" for people to die in a *warzone* because, well.

People like things to be black and white. Death is bad, life is good. War is bad, peace is good. They don't grasp the complexities of things, no matter how simple they are- like, if you are in a warzone with mortars going off around you and bullets flying at you.. there is the minute, ever so small chance that something sharp and bad for you is going to *slam into your body armor or skin* which implies you're getting wounded or killed. Morality doesn't exist in war, it's a deathmatch between two sides until one is pacified- which means if the U.S. citizens get all pacifistic and anti-war again, Iraq *is* screwed and it isn't JUST because of Bush or anything- it's because people somehow have got the equation wrong. To them, American lives > countries' freedom or American lives > thousands killed by brutal regime or American lives > anything that you have to fight for to get.

While it is sad they have to die, it's war. People die. You die, I die. We die. We're morals, therefore at some point in the future I'm pretty damn sure we're passing on to whatever is after this. The Bush administration lied about why they were going there, yes- but we're stuck there. You can't change the past, you have to deal with the present, what we've gotten ourselves into. It might not have been necessary to be there, they might have used the WMD thing as an excuse, they might have done this and that- IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW. We're there, we've messed with the country too much to just up and leave because we're not content with people dying in war. If we back out, it's going to be horrible. So what do people value? The lives of American soldiers? Or the potential civil war that would leave thousands of civilians killed? Most people are going to value American lives more than any child, more than any woman- more than anyone else. You know why?

They're selfish Americans. They're 'moral' Americans. Death to them is 'bad', even when it is for a cause. You know what that does to our potential? We own this planet culturally and militarily. On paper our military could probably take on the majority of the world's militaries at the same time, if nuclear weapons were available to be used. But, on paper doesn't count for the pacifists, doesn't count for the American citizens' mindset- so, it makes it weaker. And weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker.. and weaker. Then we pull out. THEN Iraq goes into "turmoil", people don't know what *turmoil* means yet. Between the racial differences, the religious differences..

What I'm saying is, we're there. No matter what you say, Saddam's regime was a very extreme dictatorship that left thousands dead. There were no WMDs there, but we did remove that guy- but we have this ignorant, naive mindset.. of pacifism. We have to deal with the responsibility that one man gave us, no matter how blindly he strode into it. That nation's future- the next decade, maybe even more- rests on the shoulders of our strength to deal with the fact, ugh I can't believe I'm having to say this. To deal with the fact that people die in war. So, if we pull out now.. you turn all these insurgents loose, this timebomb waiting to happen will blow. We have not allow that to happen, no matter what. Not for pride, not for patriotism- but for the people there.

Oh and, yes. I dislike pacifists. ^_^

Tree of pain.

You know a song that no one listens to that is better than many songs released today? It's a song by Filter, it's called "Take A Picture" [5.55 mb]. This song is from 1999 and was a hit for awhile- it's like soft rock or something, but it's a great song that I never get tired of for some reason. I think it's right up some of your alleys- but yeah, I've been listening to it alot in the past few days.

Maybe you'd like it too.

Buried in oblivion.

There is something surreal about day to day life that wasn't here before. Things seem very odd when you just step back and look at them- at your environment. At any given moment it seems like if I look around, something surreal is going on- this seems like a long daydream I'm not breaking out of, but it is in fact reality that is quite weird. I'm not sure what I'm implying, it's just sort of amusing to trot along in life I suppose. I guess there is the lingering suspicion that something is not right with what I am seeing, that something unsettling is going on in the backdrop of everything I am in. I'm not paranoid, I'm just overtly aware and sensitive to my environment, more than any of you could ever hope to be. It is just there, something is amiss. I know it's amiss, but I don't know *what* is amiss. There is something wrong with all of this, hm. What is it, what is it, hm hm hm. What could be so unsettling that I'm concerned with it, hm hm hm.. hmmm. Maybe it's time. Am I running out of time? I think I am running out of time, I feel rushed. This quaint, quiet life- it's going to be gone in some matter of time. Hmm.

Running out of time, with nothing to do in the time I still have. Hm. HMMM. Nothing to do but speculate the coming inferno, hm hm hm..

Awake.

I saw films of myself as a kid, lol. Ahh, bad memories. Ahh! Ignoring that.. my hairstyle is oddly similar to what it was then- for like 8-9 years I had it parted in the middle like the twat I was, but now I don't give half a crap about how it looks. Just like I didn't give half a crap how it looked when I was 3, lol. Man, that was so long ago.. with my sister and my mom. Good times! Good times. You ever see yourself as a kid? Talk about SURREAL. Hey, that's me! Me watching me when me was just a lad. Weird feeling.

Under the sea, under the sea. Darling it's better, down where it's wetter- take it from me..

Give me your hand.

That's about it, I suppose. Hope everything is good for ya'.

Adios.

P.S. NBA GAME TONIGHT! GO SPURS GO!
