Damn..I miss Jackie..I am sure the feeling might not be mutual, but I just got my phone turned back on, and I think I might call him tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I am going to Chuy's with Megan and her Uncle and some of his friend,so that should be fun. I haven't officially met him yet, but it is weird......I always end up being friends with people that have rich parents, rich relatives, or are rich themselves; hopefully that foreshadows my life to be, because I would love to be rich; taking that into account, I mean rich on many different levels for myself. I of course would like money, because who the fuck wouldn't, but I have finally made the step(baby steps,) and decided that I would throw away the perfect financial life for the perfect mental life. If I have a great wife, great house, great car, etc. etc. none of it will mean jack shit without a sound mind. I will ever let myself be one of those sell-outs with a one story house, a cat, and a few poker friends, but I am worried that I will be satisfied with my IQ, with the depression issues I have. But anyway...next week a few of Saddam's top lieutenants will be on trial, and I think it is odd.."In a separate attack, guerrillas ambushed an Iraqi police convoy traveling from the southern city of Basra to Baghdad, killing at least three police officers, police said." These people are trying to make a statement to the world, and the American people, that they are in control, and yet we are the ones that have all the power. I think it is odd that we don't just execute these bastards that we have found, but then I come to my senses and realize that our methods make a statement of a different kind; that we are humane, whether we want to be or not, and that we care about the law of the land. It is hard for me to truly appreciate everything our soldier's do, because all I see is faces in newsapers, but it would all be shot to hell if we treated out prisoner's like the guerilla's treat them. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, I will be with my family in Forth Worth. BTW, My house is open for the party, unless anyone has objections, but let me get back with you just in case plans change.
