It seems 13 times' a charm. It was only a couple weeks ago that I settled into my new home (my 12th move in the last 2 years) but another chapter in my life quickly comes to an end. I'll be moving back home to Washington DC with my parents next weekend. I am being offered a job down there, of which I will get into more detail later. But for now, I am simply numb in utter shock that my life can continue this way. It seems like ever since I left for Armenia, nothing has ever been right and I keep moving around to get comfortable again, but it just ain't stickin. The place I'm living now is beyond comfortable (thank you Baykar for opening your home to me) but unemployment without the check is tough. The business is doing well, but it doesn't pay for all the bills. So it's back home with Mom and Dad for me... already the battle over which room I get has begun. My mom seems to think I'm taking my sister's old room... but little does she know I'm gonna practice the squatting technic in my brother's room. Dad, don't tell her that. :)
So more on the war discussion, to answer Haro's question... Haro, I am not one to believe that without war we will have peace. Regardless, there is no peace in the world right now. I simply question the real motives and what we expect to come out of this. I am not an anti-war protester, and I'm not a supporter. I just don't believe this is the best way to establish peace, if that's our goal. I wonder how much of a difference the world could make by buying those hydro electric cars or whatever they're called. That would kill the oil companies before the Middle East can kill us. But if war was the best solution and the ONLY solution to protecting innocent lives, I would support it. I just don't think this will protect us, but maybe destroy us.
At the same time, I'd like to step back and say I'm no qualified expert to be determining what's best for the country as I am not one of the leaders. It's times like this that I would like to trust our leaders to do the best thing, but I just don't feel like I have that trust right now.
