self-titled: ^_^

oh no, just saw a commercial for comedy central's reality show this summer... handicap house. hahaha

anyway, today at work, rob sent one of his e-mails to all his friends that was basically "lol france sux" it had all these pictures of all the us cemetaries in france, with the number of us soldiers dead there who died defending france and then a picture of Hitler. a more serious one that the ones full of france sucks jokes. anyway, rachael wrote up a response basically saying "yeah, us defended france from a very real agression. it was reactive, it was our duty to protect. this is a pro-active war that may or may not be 100% necessary, and if france doesn't think it's a war worth fighting, let them." it was better put than that and was a very valid stance. this resulted in about 100 replies saying why france sucks.

bottom line is this: france has some very serious commercial interests with iraq, and that may or may not be the "right" thing, but if we were in a similar position there is no way in hell we'd support destroying our commercial interests. sure, saddam is a bad man and it'd be rad if we got rid of him and iraqis could live in a semi-normal country. but i seriously doubt our resolve in this, mainly because i believe gulf war 1 had similar motivations, and what happened when we "won"? the iraqis staged a revolt against their government and we exited stage right with our oil interests in kuwait secure and the revolting iraqis met quick defeat and returned to their regularly scheduled shitty way of life. maybe we'll stick it out this time, and that'd be rad, but i really don't know if that'll be the case.

anyway, i'm not at the ben folds concert right now because i was way tired and way unmotivated. Truth be told, i don't feel like i'm missing out. hopefully this attitude will desert me because April has some huge huge shows. styrofoam/notwist, crooked fingers/spoon, hot hot heat, cex/postal service, portatastic/yo la tengo, flaming lips, then schneider tm/the faint/les savy fav, d plan, and a couple others in may. if i don't make it to at least 4 or 5 of those, i'm a bad, bad man.

waiting for the T today after work i looked in to the D line that just arrived and there was this girl but oh no! she was looking at me so i looked away. then i looked back and oh no! it looked like she was still lookingn so i looked away. then i did it again and oh no! so i looked away. then the t started to move and i went back once more oh no! this time i smiled and she returned a big one. that was fun. dunno what was up, i mean my hair looked unusually good, but that's really all i got.

and now i think it's time for bed.
