havent blogged in a while... and for good reason. well first off, in case you've been living under a slab of granite for a week and a half.... we're bombing a certain middle eastern country that just happens to have an ocean of oil to kingdom come. so... as sick and tired i was of hearing bush and his minions babble on and on about stuff that CNN said an hour before.... i still found myself glued to the tv on thursday and watched live as the relative chaos of the anti-aircraft fire of Bhagdad was dwarfed by the awsome bombardment that could hardly be described in words (certainly not "shock and awe" which if i hear again, i swear i will... i dunno, do sumthing reslla bad!!!!!). i must say watchin live as a city of 5 million get ever so precicely anihilated was quite a site, and beeing able to see it live was somewhat sureal and exciting (a guilty pleasure of being a testosterone driven violent and blodthirsty male). one can only hope that casualties will be a minimum, and given the acuracy of our missles and the rate of enemy surrenders, they should indeed. also, in other news the acedmy awards was quite a interesting event.... what i saw of it at least. and that would be mainly the awards for best actor and best documentary. (normally that would not be a noteworthy award the day(s) after, but this is the exception, given the extremely politicly driven speech and commentary given by the director of "bowling for Columbine" who himslef is very contraversial. the producers should have seen that one coming, but i think it was good trhat someone made everyone uncomfortable for at least a minute or 2 as they thought about his staements. it may have been an inapropriate moment at an inapropriate forum but this was his big chance to counter the statements of politicians and the president as he probably never has a chance to reach a huge internatiopnal audience live and relatively unedited. the speech given by the winner of the best actor award, Mr. Brody, i think gave a great speech.. it almost seemed as if he decided on whether or not to actually give the speech at the last possible moment. his speech rivals halle berry's in length, but far surpasses it in content... his than-yous were brief and concise, but what came after was inteligent and meaningful.... and he did nt have to mention his lawyer of hairdresser.
