well, the war started today. we bombed about six cities so far and are "targeting military bases." watching it on television is eerie, and i feel like the roadkill i have passed today are trying to tell me something. i know it's sort of morbid, but i passed three dead rabbits on the road, and for some reason, felt compelled to stop and photograph two of them...maybe i'll turn it into some weird anti-war propaganda...
i have to sign up for the draft soon...i don't want to go to jail for five years, and be a quarter of a million dollars in debt to the government...i'm more scared now than i was a month ago...because this is really happening...this is our generation's war and it scares me shitless...wondering if i might be called to go. i actually had a dream about it the other night. i've never died in my dreams...if the situation arises, i wake up before it happens, but this time, i watched myself being killed in my mind's eye...it was very creepy and brought me into a state of wonder and awe the whole next day.

why do we have to do this?
