The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.
Comments on commentary-

Irish- Yeah but modern warfare is still not.. well tested yet, there hasn't been any real, large conventional war that didn't have one side obliterating the other. This is between major, established powers.. the US/NATO/Russia/China. Thusfar the tactics we have are simply evolutions of the tactics created in World War 2- even the ones involving nukes. There hasn't been a major attempt to revolutionize warfare into the 'future'- something beyond massive tank columns or close air support.

I'm not sure. Bowie/Crockett were from Kentucky I believe. I'd have to look it up, lol.

Kya- No Nukes for Kya? :o

Most modern wars come about when peace is exhausted.. or that's what they tell you. Or, that's what you should hope. Or, maybe I'm not doing much to keep you all optimistic. Uhh. My bad?

'It was then, for Felix, it began. The hatred for the briefing officer had expanded to include his superiors, the captain of the ship, the commanders of Fleet itself, and finally the thickheaded idiots who had undertaken something as asinine as interplanetary war in the first place.'

Theme song of this post: Squash That Fly by Fu Manchu.

I saw Mission Impossible 3 today at a jam-packed 5:25 showing. If you really want to see how much patience you have left in your person, just head to a movie on Saturday night in a major metropolitan area- that shit will drive you at least partially batty. I mean, there's nothing quite like a random congregation of dozens of strangers with bad habits to see just how much you can take in a hour to two hour period.

There's not much to say about the movie itself. Stuff blows up, guns are fired, Tom Cruise looks desperate in numerous scenes before promptly doing some heroics. Kisses are exchanged, sex is had, helicopters are abused and meet grisly, untimely demises at the hands of windmills [???]. The Vatican is involved, security cameras are easily bypassed [what a waste of money!] and, at the end of the day, you leave the movie wishing you fired more guns, blew up more things and kissed more than you currently do. Which, unless you guys are hiding something from me, is probably.. not so much.

I mean, going back to a crowded movie theater- what the hell, dude. The guy in front of my flipped out his PDA in the middle of an action scene. That wouldn't have normally bothered me but his PDA was bright enough to cause severe distraction- it was like the sun had risen in the middle of the movie theater just to piss everyone off [damn you, sun]. Then there was this incessant and almost random girlish giggle that accompanied the cacophony of laughter at all the wisecracks [some of them were actually pretty witty, to be honest]. I could not for the life of me find the source of this giggle- it was like the theater was haunted by a preteenage girl or something. Creeeeepy~

Manah Manah!

I'm tired.. and I have work in the morning, so this will have to do. Tata.

P.S. Welcome to the rainy season!

P.P.S. I bought twenty dollars of gas today and I'm pretty sure that's the last time I willfully allow myself to be robbed so blatantly.

P.P.P.S. I mean, seriously. What the fuck.

P.P.P.P.S. Seriously, dudes. Have you looked in your wallet recently after you filled up? Did the Moths inside say 'Hey, what's up' like mine did?
