But as always, a blunt soldier, in the 3 ID (infantry division) said it best on Thursday when asked what he thought about the Iraqis tactics in response to U.S. methods, “Well we have all the firepower, technology and airpower,” he said. “I cannot blame them for fighting this way, they have to find a way to respond.”
It’s about fucking time. Thank you.

There seems to be a common theme in different areas of my life at the moment. I think I first really noticed it last week, but it was something I’ve been expecting for a while actually. So while I don’t really think that using a Radiohead lyric to title my post the other day foreshadowed this thought so much as defined it.
there’s a gap where we meet / where i end and you begin
– memento mori
– I hope the weather is good tomorrow, I would enjoy another day like today.
– Oh it turns out a day I had booked off work is actually a bank holiday, so I don’t need to use a holiday up.
– I have no idea what to do about an actual holiday for this year. Not sure it will happen at all.
– Age is so much more than just a number.
– I know suspect I misheard or was lied to. I think either are possible.
– Parts of Battersea park have just reopened after being done up. They looked nice, I shall have to have a better look.
– “friend cull” is a concept that comes back to me every now and again that while I don’t understand, I do…just a little.
– I have no idea what to say to people I don’t know. I hate it. I really hate it.
– computer is still fucked. I think I shall give it one more try again and then just give up and live without sound if I have to.
I eagerly await the day where I can just think something and the essence of the thought will appear on screen and as you read it, you fully grasp my meaning and intent. I just can’t place into words what I’m thinking. I wish I could, then it might make a little more sense to me. Or perhaps it already makes too much sense to me. Damn you brain.
Lots going in here recently. It’s kinda strange I’ve been talking to a friend tonight and as it’s going on 2:30am she has been reminding me that I should be going sleeping. But I don’t want to, aside from not being sleepy (although that is changing by the second) I have an urge to type here and then once that is done I can go and sleep.
I did note with a lot of interest today that Donnie Darko is showing in Fulham Warner Village on Monday evening. I do really want to see it again and I might see if I can round up any of the troops and go see it.
Guess it’s sleep time now. Going to sleep in late in the morning.
