life is unusual right now.

stoner boy josh, usually a laid back peace-lovin' kinda guy is all anti-protester. and so is my other roomie, with good reason as he's in the coast guard and has been harassed because of that.

rob and i are pretty much on the same page as each other, with just hoping for the best outcome. we've got friends and family over there.

our old roomie john is in the midst of it all, and e-mail contact hasn't been possible for days. and then there's josh and bill, too. and i've got military cousins galore.

man.

is it possible to not be against the war, but not exactly for it, either? i mean really, who's for war? some would argue that the united states government is, but let's not get in to that. i don't like war. i don't want to hear of anyone dying. i worry about loved ones over there.

i think this is called pro-troops? who knows.

the iraqi troops play dirty though. using civilians to lure coalition troops to their death. waving flags of surrender, only to stage an ambush.

war is overall fucked up, but to me, that's crossing some sort of line.

but hell, what do i know. what does anyone know in any of this? it's all opinion and speculation and blah blah.

i don't want to talk about the war anymore. but i can't seem to escape it. i can't seem to stop it from seeping into every area of my life. i've received threatening e-mail, and got called a murderer today simply because i didn't honk in favor of the protesters. there's talk of war at my school, at my work, on the tv and radio and on the front page of every newspaper.

i feel like pushing all of that aside and writing about `what i did today.` but that seems so unimportant in comparison with what's happening in the world.

*sigh* i'm tired. i'm probably making this into more than it needs to be. i'll probably delete this tomorrow.

any thoughts? (1)����������������
