the journey home
well.... home is so close i can feel it. it's almost here. i am getting out of this joint on thursday. thursday. not too far from now. finals studying is kicking my ass. i had far too many papers to write and work to do on my play, and studying... and i just don't want to do it any more. but i need to study so i can get good grades. man, that sounded like a 8th grader. what a dork. so.... i found out last night that my friend had a crush on me first semester. that was cool to know. nothing is going to happen, she is not my bag. but it was... interesting to hear. i had no idea. totally oblivious, per usual. the summer is almost here. which will be interesting. and by interesting i mean... kinda bad. nobody is really coming home... and i don't know. i talked to my navy friend jake today. he is living in norfolk, virginia. and he sounds good. that was a relief. speaking of relief, i'm not really tired enough to go to bed, but i think i am going to go anyways so i can wake up and study all day. i turn in my FINAL edit of me one act play tomorrow. 32 pages long. and terrible. but it's ok. i am planning on getting up at maybe 930 tomorrow. hopefully. all i have to do is turn my portfolio in, and study study study!
and in other news: 1600 AMERICAN TROOPS HAVE DIED IN THIS WAR, ALONG WITH 21-25,000 CIVILIANS. how.... sad is that? it makes me very upset. it just doesn't make any sense. you know? goddamn it. that is just too many. just too many. far too many. and it breaks my heart and crushes my hopes for this world. i just keep thinking about 25,000.... come on. that is my whole school, dead. i keep thinking of all those families and how those 25,000 deaths have just fucked up their lives. you know? god, just think about that. bombs don't give you pretty deaths either. there was a whole lot of suffering along with those deaths i think. shit. no weapons, but 25,000 dead people who had no reason to die. i can only imagine what the president must feel. not only will he have the deaths of 1600 american troops on his heat forever, he has 25,000 innocent people too. gives me one of the worst feelings i have ever had. and i've had some pretty fucking terrible feelings.
ok. i am going to bed. and i am going to dream of home. dream of driving around st. paul with joe, listening to our song.
higher and higher
peace and love
