watched a disturbing documentary on discovery channel. world war 2 stuff. what struck me was the fact that at this certain village in japan, the villagers were required to know how to throw grenades. but they didn't know how to! so hey were forced to kill each other. parents killing children. husbands killing wives. insane. they had to do things like stone them or beat them to death. just mad. and they showed the horrors of the bomb's effects on hiroshima. indescribable. and the state of the people. i mean, i've seen things like these so many times on so many other similar documentaries. but it just gets me everytime.

then as i was browsing the papers today, it felt no different from watching documentaries and movies about war where they screen newspapers headlines with the word "WAR" in big, bold letters. i'm strongly against the imminent war in iraq. the effects, if saddam were to unleash some secret nuclear bomb or whatever, would be worse than the hiroshima one, i imagine. even up to today, people are still suffering from the after-effects of that bomb. i'm really pessimistic about this whole thing. i won't be surprised if there's another world war. US, iraq, north korea. and terrorist groups are reinforcing their forces. and there are more. it's scary.

u know what's worse. that saddam has deployed child soldiers from as young as 10. this sucks.

ok so i'm going for a party tonight. (anti-clmax, i know) i know i didn't sound too happy about these kinda things in one of my blogs in the past. but well, it does sound like fun today. so what the hell. not like i've got anything better to do later on. other than sleep or come online...hmmm...i know...money. oh heck. shut up shireen.

listening to without you by silverchair. love his voice. and love the last part. weirdly cool.
