i LOVE giving blood. I'm never missing a chance to again.

With the bombings in London can't we all agree that the Iraq War was a bad idea? Secondly, though Paris has slightly more mistique, can't we agree that London is a better location for the 2012 Olympics? Paris has had the Olympics more times than any other city in the modern era, so shouldn't the english get their chance?

Iraq War:

I have no doubts that America and the world as a whole is much safer without Saddam. In fact, I think removing Saddam and ushering in a democratic government into a formerly hostile and despotic area is President Bush's greatest accomplishment (granted there aren't many to choose from). However, the Iraq War exacerbated America's problems abroad and diverted resources away from the REAL WAR ON TERROR!!!!! Yes, the War on Terror (which is a "good" and necessary "war" that must be won) has NOTHING to do with the Iraq War.

I'll submit more talking points 2008 in the future.

2012: London.

Tonight was very weird. I don't like what I did tonight.

Lance Armstrong was what they call a lucky loser. Oh well.

TNT has aired the bastardized version of Saving Private Ryan. I knew it was a great movie but I forgot how great it really was. <<<>>> Anyway, it's more awesome than I remember because in the closing action seen Tom Hanks' character is dying after this last great battle. He looks at Private Ryan (Matt Damon) and tells him to "earn this, earn this." In the moment it sounds a lot less cheesey, but whatever. So my thought is how can I not try and be my the best possible version of myself after hearing that. Since I didn't join the military (a slightly regrettable decision) I'm never going to have that tangible moment where one person surrenders his/her life for mine. But my family, to some extent, has sacrificed some things for me. And way beyond that there are millions of people who sacrificed many valuable things in order for me to exist and thrive.

The point: I can't just be a corporate lawyer, or even some sort of everyday business man. But what should I do to earn this? I know a million different jobs that would earn me plenty of things, but not justify my existence. So what the fuck can I do?
