With a brat like that--always on your back--what can you lose?
Man every single post on my lj has been some sorta self-realized great return. Good to be back. At least for today.
Anyways Im in Hong Kong. Having a good time but shit does get depressing when you know noone in this awesome city. Im coming back to NY on Weds and have a few reservations about my whole physical return to the city:
- Ill still be depressed. (Nah depressions not the word Im looking for. Its boredom, angst, hormones, and chronic neck pain.)
- Hanging out with a majority of friends is proving to be extremely difficult this summer
- Parents
- I wanted to travel around to neighboring countries, specifically Japan. I might never get the chance at least for a while.
I do wanna head back cuz traveling without ppl is sorta dull. Also I wanna visit Mike and Katherine in Philly and Boston (respectively) before I head out to Israel.
Israel, man...stupid fucking hezbollah. Im still gonna head there, i think. The Katyusha rockets can only hit as a far as Haifa (at least for now) so I should be fine. Im sorta pissed though, Ive been looking foward to this trip since January. Im so psyched to work in a Kibbutz for 5 months. And now this happens.
If I cant go...for the first time, you'll probably see a man, humbled to his knees, crying pathetically...for some that know me best its monthly. Yep.
Seriously though, Ill spare you the Zionist rant this time but current events have produced a reaction in me..."concerned" is the word Im looking for. Im sure things'll turn out good and the Hezzies will be disarmed but its always annoying to watch the news and see them generally point the finger at Israel. Perhaps the news is generally critical of Israel (BBC definately is and CNN seem to point the finger at Israel most of the time) or maybe it really is objective and it pisses me off when they criticize Israel or report the body count of Lebonese or show scenes in Beirut. Either way I think most of the media and critics of Israels current operation are generally wrong. This isnt about Israels thirst for revenge for 2 of its kidnapped soldiers. On the contrary, Israel has even claimed that it wont negotiate with Hezbollah for the return of its soldiers. Rather people seem to forget that Hez initially sent rockets into Israel.
I dont understand how Israel could look like the aggressors in this conflict when theyve been doing what they have always been doing for almost 60 years already, protecting themselves.
