Daily Digest

I had never been around children much at all until I had one of my own, and I’m surprised how at generous they can be at such an early age. Michael, when he’s finished slobbering all over one of his teething toys, often shares with me by trying to stick it in my mouth. It’s a nice gesture, but I think I’ll pass. It’s touching to me that he actually cares enough to give up what he so obviously enjoys.
After listening to X96 for several weeks, I think I’m finally back in touch with the new-music scene. After living in Price for almost two years, with no radio stations except country, and nothing on MTV except The Real World and other such crap, I didn’t know what new music was out there and didn’t have much new stuff to listen to. Right now, I’m listening to bands I never thought I would like, such as System of a Down, Nickelback, Saliva, Staind, P.O.D., and quite a few others. God, I love the internet. =)
I was talking to Justin earlier this evening about the whole terrorism/war thing going on right now, and I surprised even myself by what I said:

Me: You know, I don’t think anything much is going to happen with all this talk of war. I just don’t see how the US can go to war with any country unless they have some real justification, which I don’t think they really do. I just don’t think there’s a fair way to handle this.
Justin: i feel the same way
there’s no way the US can just go and kill civilians because of a terrorist force that is not part of the goverment
it would be different if it was the afghan military, but its not
Me: Right…unless they can prove there were ties–monetary or otherwise–between the terrorists and any government, I don’t think they have a leg to stand on.

A few days ago, I was all for war, but now, I don’t think so.
