They've gotten me through a hell of a lot. One's at Camp Taji right now, 20 miles away from Baghdad, and I cried Sunday night.

Bush should've just signed the latest Iraq bill. That way, funding would still get allocated to the troops and he could just ignore the withdrawal date, as it was nonbinding anyway.

One said "It wasn't right of them, but it is our fault." I feel that one of the best ways to deter terrorism in the future is to try to understand their grievances to begin with. I'm pretty sure Sun Tzu and Machiavelli would agree.

Thanks, Porn! On March 17, Ron Jeremy came to our campus and debated the societal issues surrounding the adult film industry with a woman whose first name alludes me, so I'll just call her Ms. Cole. I posted the following paragraph on my LiveJournal entry about my St. Patrick's Day...

I hate when people pretend to care about something because it gives them societal status. The "something" can be anything, but of course, when it hits close to home I care even more.

I'm spastic... I... wow. The words. Trying to find the words... Okay, here we go. So, I'm looking up topics to use for an international law simulation I'm directing this Spring at Auburn University.

Anyone else think it's odd that if you're Cuban and you paddle your way to Florida, you're good to go as long as you have one foot on land when immigration officials catch you, but if you're Haitian, you're S.O.L.? It makes me wonder... if the Cubans and the Haitians teamed up and made a mad race for the shore, would anyone notice?

I'm backdating this entry to September 18th since that's the birthday of the Air Force, even though I didn't get around to posting until Friday the 19th. I'm in Air Force ROTC at the University of Alabama.

I think General Clark is a great addition to the list of running mates.

Plus, I really want to visit Germany and do all of the tourist stuff as well as attend the Wacken Open Air Festival and see some of my favourite heavy metal bands live. Why weblog?
