I finished the Farseer Trilogy recently, which I fell in love with. Rarely have I read such compelling characters with such emotional depth. So I've done a 180 and started Malazan: Book of the Fallen!
It has me truly dissuaded of the notion that the so called developed world has any sort of moral authority. We have to learn from this.
Dude, firstly that's called collective punishment, which is a war crime if that even matters anymore. Secondly, this was never about hostages, it's about cleansing Palestine. The hostages were just an excuse.
Their regular use of white phosphorus bombs might fall under that category.
I'm starting a new job in January, which will give me financial stability and job security for the first time in years. It means I can go back to University and pursue my dream of becoming a zoologist, heck I'll even be able to take a holiday with my girlfriend without worrying about rent!
Well that explains why I've aged like milk!
This short documentary that David Hoffman uploaded sums the history up in an impartial manner.
Buddy you summed up my sentiments exactly. It feels like the whole fucking world is suffering from some form of amnesia. What do they expect the Palestinians to do, just accept their own extermination?
Actually, it's pretty alright! Being below deck during rough weather sucks and the morning after shore leave ain't great either. But it wasn't a bad gig.
Not a mountain exactly, but I hiked to Everest Base Camp which was 5,364 meters. About 2 days and 200 meters lower I had started having very strange dreams that come with that altitude. At Base camp, little tasks became more difficult, I had an ever present headache, and I woke on the hour every hour during the night. But fuck me, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
It's been alright I guess. Though, I started catsitting for my old housemate today and she's been overfeeding them to a crazy degree. I basically raised one of the cats, so it's pretty upsetting.
AWWWWWW SHIT! FANCY SEEING YOU MFERS HERE. AROOOOOOO!!!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer dude!
