"There are worlds beneath your feet, lurkers behind the stairs, and shapes that wait just the other side of boarded doorways, which you have only glimpsed in your dreams." -- Tad Williams

If prime-time TV is daring today -- then what would you call THIS?
Can't wait until the second season of Twin Peaks comes out on DVD...

Amid Allied Jubilation, a Child Lies in Agony, Clothes Soaked in Blood - "Yes, I know the lines. President Saddam would have killed more Iraqis than us if we hadn't invaded – not a very smart argument in the Kindi hospital – and that we're doing all this for them. Didn't Paul Wolfowitz, the US Deputy Defense Secretary, tell us all a few days ago that he was praying for the American troops and for the Iraqi people? Aren't we coming here to save them – let's not mention their oil – and isn't President Saddam a cruel and brutal man? But amid these people, such words are an obscenity..."

Boy, my wife and I can relate to this. Logan got sick again a few days ago, then gave it to me. I think this is perhaps the worst flu I've ever had. I'm just now feeling better today. Logan is still building up his immune system, I guess.

From this March 23 column (Lessons relearned in a boy's first war):
"Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces..."
"With any luck, no one from my son's generation will grow up to write a poem like Jarrell's The Range in the Desert, which ends:
Profits and death grow marginal:/
Only the mourning and the mourned recall/
The wars we lose, the wars we win;/
And the world is - what it has been."

Here's a quote I think about a lot from the movie Point Break:
This was never about money for us. It was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive.
"All those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins..."
I recently had lunch with a friend of mine who is doing data entry at an insurance company. While I was waiting for him, people kept coming out of the building to go on their lunch break. They all looked so harassed, and glad to be out of there for just a few brief moments. It reminded me of the way I used to be, many years ago.
Human beings were not meant to spend their lives in cubicles. We were meant to live. To create. To enjoy life, to suck out the marrow.
I will not, when I come to die, discover that I have not lived.

Poor Logan. He got very sick today. Got the ol' pinkeye. Danielle took him to the doctor tonight and got him some meds.
Late tonight, I watched Ghost Ship. Good premise, but man, did the plot deteriorate fast. Don't rent it!

Yahoo! News - Strain of Iraq war showing on Bush, those who know him say
Okaaayyy....
Here's a quote from that article:
"[Bush is] being hard on himself; he gave up sweets just before the war began..."
Yeah. I can see it now. We've got soldiers dodging SCUDs and sandstorms, in the bloody midst of war. But, wait, their seargant says. If you boys think you have it rough, just read this story! The commander-in-chief isn't eating sweets!
Fucking inspirational. Poor Bush has it so rough...
