Hello, I Have No Life

Not much going on these days. I'm currently reading The Corner and it is, as expected, very good. I've just about run out of superlatives with which to describe David Simon. If I sound like a man obsessed, it's because I am a little.

I'll probably post about it more when I'm done. I'm probably about a third of the way in. Thus far it has confirmed something that I've thought at least since I saw the movie Traffic. That is that the so-called "drug war" our various governments are fighting is an exercise in futility, at least the way it is currently being fought. I'll elaborate once I've finished the book. I'm not sure Simon will offer up a proposed solution. I certainly can't think of one.

Also been keeping up with Generation Kill and it is very good. Very much looking forward to reading the book.

Oh, it has also recently been confirmed that I am very much in the right in hating the dating process. More on that some other time.

Can't wait to hear this one!

Don't get to excited. It's really not that big a deal. Just another minor annoyance. And you know how easily I am annoyed.
