war! uh maybe, well, we're waiting for comfirmation, eh, yeah war, sort of.

well, like todd i too feel like i should document my feelings, but for some reason i have few. i feel so removed from the us right now that i didn't even realize that the deadline had come and gone until afterwards. i was in a bar having a happy hour drink. maybe it's because i don't have a job and i've been stressing out about whether i'm gonna be here or in minneapolis at the end of next week, but except for thinking that it is a big mistake, i haven't really had any anxiety about the war.

i do agree with what chris rock said about america not having been in a war since the civil war. we really don't have any idea what a real war is. there is no national memory of what it's like to have your homes distroyed, your neighbors killed by a stray(or not stray) bomb, and fear for your life every second, because you never know when a bomb would hit. in london they talk about the increase in stress when the v2 came out because you had no chance to hide, they were supersonic, so if you heard one you were gonna live, but you also had no forewarning that one was gonna hit you. i wonder if our smart bombs are supersonic, or if they make noise at all.

so i watched a little mexican television coverage about the war and kept waiting to hear them say "booooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbbb! bomb! bomb! bomb! booooommmmmmmmmmb!" but it didn't happen.
