Tonight is my last in Oregon. I'm happy to leave this house, but not Eugene. I wouldn't mind staying here a couple more months. This place is really comfortable. I'm happy here. But I have to prepare myself for four more days in the rv with three dogs, a cat, and my parents. Oh Fun!!
I hung out around the campus a little today while Greyson was at preschool. Actually, I spent most my time in a bookstore of gigantic proportions. Got some good books; some more Tom Robbins and Jack Kerouac. It was easy to get lost in that place.
And I read the paper again this morning. This war was really pissing me off, and my aunt suggested that I didn't read the news for a few days. Man, does anyone feel like were reliving the Cold War? All this duct tape and emergency plan bullshit. And what the fuck is Bush's problem? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I can't talk about it rationally. I get so angry.
He was quoted the other day saying something about how the MILLIONS of protesters didn't understand the threat that Iraq posed. And that at times it was the job of someone in a leadership position such as his to ignore public opinion and do whats best for the people. He needs to go back to high school government class and read up on Locke. Do the American people really trust one man that much? Or is it some sort of pride issue with him? Does he have to finish what daddy didn't? (According to Freud, thats the problem, as he and dad are constantly competing for Barbara's affection.) Or is it just plain ignorance? It just doesn't add up. But I don't want to go to bed with these thoughts in my head.
