I've been thinking of this quote recently. Pretty much sums it up for me:
I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want...

Here's a quote from the book I am reading right now: Dark Victory: America's Second War Against Iraq, which I think may be the best book I've read yet on the subject:
"We do not believe in agression or preventitive war. Such a war is the weapon of dictators, not [of] free democratic countries like the United States." Harry S. Truman
Well, so much for...

Sounds like an interesting book. You should check out Perpetual War For Perpetual Peace by Gore Vidale.

Where had Giant Santa Claus come from? No one knew, specifically General Turgenson whose job as the director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was to focus the military might of the nation on one thing:bringing the colossal Kris Kringle down and bringing his men home--specifically before Christmas. But General Turgenson also knew that the task was a daunting...

A horny toad for a....well horny something i'm sure 
What is it I am always looking for? Something beyond the dreaming, beyond the dream. Another moment of magical clarity, like the time I first viewed the moon through a powerful telescope--standing over the eyepiece trying to read the scars on that other world. I want to be (but am not) enraptured by the weave of threads in a bit of cloth, by the scout...

I hear you. I really, really do.
I'm not sure if this helps, but this is an excerpt from a song (sorry, no info on it) that I keep hearing on the radio. For some reason your post made me think of it.
Catch me in the fall, if summer meant a thing,
The ice will surely thaw, sometime in the spring.
I never seem to find, the chill to lose it's sting,
cause everything that's cold, has an old familiar ring.
It may seem mundane and sparkless, but I believe that the beauty and magic will return. Perhaps....sometime in the spring.

Here is one of my better poems --making the rounds like everything else. It's about a shitty area of Columbus Ohio where I used to live, close to downtown:
Unsurveyed Land Eastside of Columbus
By Michael S. Walker
Here
This place is called
Balcony
Of the Angry Voices
And this is called
Wreck
Where Two Women Bend
Not wearing anything under their dresses
And this...

Punk'd At Christmas--A television play
Final Act
Scrooge rises from his bed--he goes to the window, throws it open. Below, in the street, a YOUNG BOY is passing by...
Scrooge--Excuse me...young man, can you tell me what day it is?
Young Boy--Wha'...today, sir? Why, Christmas Day, sir?
(Scrooge begins to hop estatically around his bedroom)
Scrooge--Christmas Day...I haven't missed it! The spirits did it all...

I saw a couple of movies this weekend that I thought were worth commenting on:
Incubus--This "horror" film has the distinction of being the only movie ever made with an Esperanto dialogue track. It stars a pre-Star Trek William Shatner and some other people. I was really geared to see this movie because it just sounded so absolutely out there. I wish I could tell...

Thinking 'Bout Jessica At One In The Morning
Current mood: lonely
I wonder what really happened to her...The last I heard (through certain mutual acquaintances) was that she had married the tall anal-retentive historian/blacksmith and was happily gone with his first child. For about six months after she disappeared from my life entirely, everytime I heard the name Jessica, I felt a mixture of pain...
