So much easier and more relaxing to update at night than stress about it at work.

When I die, I want people to celebrate what they loved about me. Don't mourn. Drink wine, laugh loudly, tell funny stories, and eat, eat, eat!

I attended the screening for "Live From Baghdad" by HBO this evening and I highly recommend it. It covers the birth of CNN but really addresses the senselessness of war. I've found myself mentioning a few times on SG that I used to dream of myself as a surgeon for something like the Red Cross or Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors WIthout Borders.. they go to war zones that even the Red Cross won't enter).

War fascinates me.

I simply can't understand how humans can order and send their own to their deaths. Killing one person is more than enough. But making plans to kill many.. the concept escapes me.

I wanted to be there for those people who were obviously in such dire straits that they couldn't even help themselves. The wounded, as they languished away in a dirty, cold pit. I had to help them.

Then I discovered that I had no love for studying. I understood the science easily enough, but I didn't want to have to memorize tomes and tomes of information, most of which I'd never use. It didn't make me think, it just made me regurgitate. It's probably best I didn't become a doctor.

My back up plan was to join the Peace Corps, maybe as an engineer. Have you ever thought of how valuable our modern sewage system really is? In the States, we're so damn good at it but these concepts hadn't even been really introduced to the world until the time of the Roman empire. Before that, we'd take our excrement and food scraps and throw them in the street. It's no wonder the bubonic plague wiped out Europe. It's no wonder that cholera still kills people today. Flushing toilets and running water have been the saviors of modern humans!

So how random is that for ya? wink

Q: Knowledge or art?

Word of the day: myopic - a lack of foresight or discernment : a narrow view of something. See Republican.

i couldn't agree more wholeheartedly...it hurts my brain to think how systematic death has become one of the main policies in so many governments all over the world. it just does not compute.
A: art brings a deeper understanding than knowledge.
