Full Metal Jacket

Nov 14, 2003 02:58

I am watching Full Metal Jacket. A few things ran through my mind. First is this a real movie or something the govement created, similar to that song "My United States of Whatever".

But I still think my one goal doing this job, being a journalist is being involved somehow with the military. I would like to be able to be in Iraq, and report on the deadly bombing. Most people would find this someway morbid. But thats not the rest of the story as Mr. Harvey would like to say...there are millions of people that live there, what are there opitions on this, and how is Iraq truly doing right now.

Thanks to our great way that we recieve press in this fine land, it doesnt get through. There are high pressured news orginzations that would loose accounts, and possibly get stiffed by our president. Well laddy-fuckin da. If I want an bias opition ill turn to AP. If I want the other opition in the matter I guess Algezera (sp), the CNN of the Middle-East could tell me and ill guess between the two.

I have been reporting on Jessica Lynch's new book. I guess I would say to her good for you, for telling your story. But dont sell the right to your sole to a Lifetime made-for-TV movie. A book would have been good enough.

Everything is going good here. I dig my job. But in the past few weeks have come to the conclusion that I want to work for myself. I want to anwser to my investors, and employees. Guess that I would make a better boss than and employee. I have always kinda thought that way, and always will. I could manage something alot easier than being mangaged. Guess that comes from spending so much of my life by myself, and calling the shots as I went along.

I went home last weekend, and had a GREAT time with Alicia, and Laura. It was nice to be able to do what we do with them. It made me miss some of my childhood, and long for the future. Well its late, and I am tired...there really isnt a time to slow down tommrow....fan-fuckin'-tastic. Low pay, lots of hours. I mabe I should just enjoy it before I have a house morgage to worry about.....mabe someday.
