so what exactly is a
coalition of
the willing?

yes its late. this
cant continue forever.  i’ve been watching a convoy traveling across the
iraqi desert.  in real time.  via a videophone. yesterday, reporters
were told that there was not going to be any action last night.
intelligence changed and so did their plans.  apparently each news network
expects to have their flagship anchorman available at any given moment to show
on the screen.  too bad ABC dropped the ball and accidentally
let viewers see a black screen for a few minutes last night. they also
complained that Peter Jennings already left for home that night so he was away
when all the other news stations had their associated news guys on the air. news
from drudge:  “Reconnaissance photographs: Iraqi artillery units
preparing to use chemical warfare shells"    keep an eye out.
Israel is asking some local web sites to
not report what they see
going on there.  One website i like to view is
debkafile.  this site was not
mentioned in the previous article.  People around the world are

protesting the war.    apparently a huge storm is now
developing in Russia that will bring very terrible dust storms into Iraq in the
next 96 hours.  Within the next few hours, 20% of the republican guard is
expected to surrender.
Saddam has a
really big secret.  sex is

no longer the current #1 most searched for term on the net.
important safety information from someone
important. have fun

imagine your in
Iraq and listening to your little radio and you hear “ahumad quambe virzhra”
which translates into Saddam is the most wonderful president we’ve ever had
forced upon us and then all of a sudden the radio goes silent.  and you
hear another voice come on a few seconds later that says “This is the day you’ve
been waiting for”.  And suddenly your Iraqi state radio has been hijacked
by the US military.  You look at

one of the many leaflets you’ve picked up off the ground that is suggesting
you to not fight the incoming troops.  suggesting you drop your weapons,
unless you are a captain, walk away from your tank for half a mile and gather
with a bunch of your buddies with a white flag while an army of around 60,000
troops in heavy machinery come racing towards you.  Then around a dozen
missiles and bombs drop from the air and
land on a nearby
building.  you see one of your nations leaders head fly across the sky.
Air raid sirens go off and you hear frantic attempts at anti-aircraft fire all
around you.

very sporadic reports start flying across the world that the war has begun.
your countrymen have
already started to surrender.

Meanwhile, one of the most devastating armies in the world is waiting on the
border.  just looking for the word to roll out.  the armies have been
given orders.  do what you will, but whatever happens, never do two things.
show your national flag, or
give candy to the kids.  even more meanwhile while the world is focused
on Iraq, an army of
1000 troops are storming Afghanistan attempting to find members of Al Queda.
Back on
the home front we watch the war on tv live as if it was a movie.  I
first heard of the impeding speech at about 9:45 pm tonight.  Bush was
expected to give a short speech to officially say that the first shots had been
fired at 10:15pm.  At 9:35 pm was when the reports came in that bombs were
dropping in Baghdad.  News travels quickly these days.  If you know
where to look.  On every major TV station, regular programming went off and
the national news came on at about 10:00 pm.  Apparently there are only a
few cameras positioned in Baghdad because they all showed the same shots.
And in these screens after these bombs had been dropped you could see people
walking the streets and cars driving along.  Maybe they didn’t see the
early morning sky light up or hear what had happened and were going about their
normal business.  Just think of all the other civilians in their homes
then, most probably asleep at that time.  think about those people as they
expect 1 in 10 major buildings to be destroyed in Baghdad.  Within 48-72
hours, they have targeted 7,000 sites to be destroyed to fulfill their initial
war plans.  Our nations terror alert has now risen to ‘high’.  And
now, Saddam has
appeared on their national TV.  Wonder if it’s pre-recorded.  The
White House is asking for emergency money to help defend against terrorist
attacks.  If Baghdad falls, and Saddam realizes it’s hopeless, he could do
a suicide mission and

destroy the entire city along with all our troops and his civilians in it?
talks of a new weapon that would
render their
electronics inoperable.

First shots
fired in the new war.  Saddam has reportedly given pre-authorization to
all iraqi commanders to use chemical weapons while France has said any use of
chemical weapons against the US and allies force will result in France changing
their mind and supporting the war. How do you be a journalist in a country where
no one is
allowed to talk about politics?
Salon –
One older woman from Baghdad
explained through a bus window that while she believed that the United States
would not hurt civilians, Saddam would not hesitate to do so.”  So
how did that reporter get into Iraq?
The old
fashioned way.    But it looks like the police and otherwise
supposedly opposing parties didn’t mind him sneaking into Iraq.  In fact,
they wanted to help him.  want a get rich quick scheme?  The
rebuilding of Iraq after we bomb the hell out of it will be partly done by

private contractors who win bids offered by our government.  Some
people worry about rioting in America when war sets loose.  Maybe you
should be
worried about the war protestors instead.

Some war protesters
managed to climb that
big funky
looking building in Australia today and paint “No War” on the top of it.
A glimpse of
some of
the reasons we’re going to war.

I keep reading these
interesting articles about our impeding war with Iraq.  But, they aren’t
about what Bush just said or what France just vetoed.  I’m more about the
psychological parts, the cultural parts of the war aspect. From the Eiffel Tower
stabbing Homer Simpson right through the heart on tonight’s Simpson’s to middle
eastern

brothels gearing up for US soldiers, it’s a
different tune these days.
The

people of Baghdad are preparing for war.  It has created a class of the
haves and the have nots.  Or the ones
with money to flee
and the ones who can not.  Iraq is
already
arresting people they fear could start an uprising.  Our own and our

allies troops are feeling the pressures of the war.  They continue a
tradition of
inscribing
messages into bombs and missiles.  There are people who’ve risked their
lives (and
now lost) to deploy themselves in Iraq to deter a war.  This war may
begin

WWIII.  People

everywhere are protesting the war.
Chicago.

Washington DC.

San Francisco.

Mexico City.  And a new wave has hit to protest in the
nude.
Americans have taken a
disliking
to the French.  They’re already preparing troops for the
reality of death.
I wonder if all this was also the case during the earlier wars.  You’d
think if someone found the

reincarnation of God, they wouldn’t chop him up and sell him for food.

Looks like
war is a preliminary go.
Drudge Report is a great site for the
absolute latest news.   some new
super drug
resistant bacteria is spreading throughout the US.

I’m off to see the
toad.  the wonderful toad in myrtle beach. this weekend is my road trip
down south as i travel to see Toad The Wet Sprocket.  Also, incoming news
on some other favorite artists.  On April 25,
Mike Corrado will be playing at the Six
String Cafe and Music Hall.  Also, on
April 11, also at the Six String,
Christine Havrilla and Amber
deLaurentis will be performing.  And finally, on April 12, the
Tori Tribute will occur in Carrboro
once again.
This years Tori fest will feature Christine and Amber mentioned before, plus the
talented Allyson Light who will also
be performing at the Six String on April 10!  wow, small world!  Oh,
and congratulations goes out to the awesome band
Down By Avalon for also being
mentioned in this paragraph!! whootah!  Be sure to check out their website
as they’ve kindly offered a great song for you to download, performed live
recently at The Cave.  well uh
make that as soon as they put the file on the server!! hurry up freak boy!

I help you
talk to aliens.  Some of you have been wondering what the deal is here
recently.  The slight observer’s of you noticed my web page completely
black for the past week.  The completely confused of you thought the page
had disappeared or something was wrong with your computer.  The remembering
of you thought it was a predecessor to the new web page.  (still in
production)  The very astute of you found the secret hidden message.
But, alas it turns out the black page with the hidden message was all just part
of an elaborate plan to catch the attention of a particular lady.  I
absolutely hate asking a girl out.  I think it’s embarrassing.  Others
have told me i’m too proud.  But there’s a fine line between being too
proud and not wanting to get hurt.  If i dont ask, i wont get rejected.
But, i don’t mind asking if i’m relatively sure of success.  So, i drop
hints, leave clues that would give me an idea for the go ahead.  A teddy
bear and candy gift basket on valentines day, and a series of unreturned
messages and elaborate just downright trickery should of led the victim to this
page with the black writing.  A phone call would of ensued that a website
they were visiting had a problem and the secret message would be revealed.
The resulting reaction would determine the future.  yea, i’m psycho.
alas, it all went unnoticed.  but, in the event you, and you know who you
are i hope, do eventually see this, call me.  My problem is i mistake
kindness for flirting and flirting for kindness.  It’s hard for me to judge
the intentions of a lady.  it’s gotta be pretty obvious or i’ll walk away
and say to myself wow, she sure was nice.  or wow what a great smile.
or i’ll walk away and think maybe something was there, when there wasn’t.
I pull up into a drive through and the cute lady at the window compliments me on
my car.  is that flirting?  i express love for the artist of a cd i
find on someone’s desk.  i’m constantly asked why i’m single or when am i
getting married.  It all turns out that the girls i’m interested in aren’t
interested in me and the girls interested in me i’m not interested in.  In
other words, i’m too picky.  so when i find an interest, i have to let them
know cuz its few and far between.

Now, on with the show.
Have you seen the mlife commercial where the couple gets on the bus and there’s
no seats together?  they sit separately and send messages back and forth on
their phones.  The background music sings “She’ll talk to you with no one
else around
But only if you’re able to entertain her”  If you listen to the whole song,
you’ll see the song is hardly a love song.  Get the CD by

Kings Of Convenience and listen to Toxic Girl.

by some method, i found an interesting weblog.
reverse cowgirl check it out. I
recently bought a

Gamecube.  They’re running a great promotion that you buy one and you
can get 1 of 4 games for free. so i chose

metroid prime.  i must say i’m very impressed with it.  While i’m
pimping Amazon, be sure to order the

Spirited Away DVD.  This is the movie i made two road trips just to see
in the theater.  very nice.

upcoming show at
Front Row this Friday night, Feb 21.  Start at 9:00 pm till round midnight.
come see us!  Here in the middle of another ice/snow/sleet/coldashell
storm.  apparently the con goers at
katsucon in northern Virginia got an
extra day of con.
