Up all Night, Up all

Up all Night, Up all Day

I didn't sleep all night. I laid down at about 3am and felt a headache building up. I wanted to sleep through it but I kept thinking I was missing the war. It is like a movie that never ends or has an intermission. I got up and watched it all, NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX. I flipped from one station to the other until the sun came up and well after.
I finally napped at noon.
I realized how stupid most reporters are. This dude from one of the networks was interviewing actual troops in Kuwait asking if they were surprised about the initial attack the night before. Yes, they were surprised.
He asked this one guy if he was "anxious" to go to war. He hesitated a moment and then said, "I'm..ready to go."
The reporter asks, "Why the hesitation? You hesitated before you said you were ready."
The marine looked at the reporter like he was a blithering idiot. "Hesitated? No, I said we were ready. WE ARE READY."
I wanted to scream at the TV, "Of course he's not anxious! No one wants to go to war!!"
Jeez...they are constantly looking for drama and conflict where there is none.

After all of that war coverage over night and all day, the WB went back to regular programming and I watched an episode of Friends. I was so relieved to watch something normal.
It reminded me how I felt after Sept 11. Every station carried coverage of the attacks and then the rescue and recovery for days. I couldn't stop watching, it was just so compelling and emotional.
Then one night, I changed the channel and there was a rerun of Frasier on one of those syndicated stations. I felt excited. OMG! Frasier! Kelsey Grammer became the most interesting person on the earth. I couldn't take my eyes off Frasier, Niles and that wacky brit chick.

Ok, no one told me how stupid I was about going back to school. However, sometimes, saying nothing can mean a lot.
I love people who are afraid to tell you what they think but their lack of response to your statement or question tells you more than anything.
I told a friend about my hair-brained idea and said "cool" and never once asked "What do you want to study?" or other details.
That pretty much tells me he thinks I will fail in my attempt.
Going back to school after a million years is "cool".

Ha! I'm in love with a woman!!
Ok, I'm in love with her brain.
It's about time someone intelligent made those idiot liberals look like what they are....umm idiots.
She totally put Michael Moore his place, that lying bastard!!
I can't wait to read everything about her!
There is something bizarre about people like Michael Moore. It's as if they in need of something, ANYTHING to cling to. They need something to fight because there is some deep, dark, empty void in them.
I have friends who think he is a God and these are people I could never quite connect with because, frankly, I don't see it. Before I knew how they felt in that respect, I thought they were intelligent people, but I don't know how intelligent people can blindly follow this hateful guy.
Anyway, check out Rachel Lucas, she's awesome and a fellow Texan!
