The guns will be silent.

"Remembrance Day is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918." That's what Wikipedia says. I know we are not supposed to trust Wikipedia, atleast so our teachers tells us. (and still http://www.srsd119.ca/ copies the information above from Wikipedia, funny, isn't it?)

So, we're supposed to remember all the guys who died in the wars. Why? Why war? Why be sad about dead people? Send people into war and ofcourse a couple of them will come back in body bags. And it's not as if anybody at all, ever, learns their lesson. They keep sending people into war, people keep coming home in body bags. We're supposed to be sorry for them, for the great loss of young and strong men. I am not. You choose to join the army. The government choose to send you into war. Stand up for your actions, don't act like you didn't knew they were gonna die, don't act as if you're acctually sorry for them. I don't care about soldiers who die. I don't care about soldiers who get wounded for life. They choose to. I care about the civilians who have nowhere to go when you drop the bombs. I care about the forests you ruin with acids. I care about the animals who no longer have a place to live.

So, I just wonder, why are we supposed to remember? Because obviously no-one learns a sh*t from the history. Is there any use to have a history when it repeats itself again?

Changing the subject slightly now...

Spent the day and evening playing Neverwinter Nights, then got stuck talking with a friend and with my sister. D was obviously too stupid (again) to realise what I wanted. He really is the most stupid smart guy I've ever met.
"Got any plans for the night after you're off work?"
"No, why?"
"I was thinking maybe we could meet?"
"Uh, I gotta pick up my cousin and bring him back to our place when I'm off, so I can't tonight. Maybe tomorrow?"
Not the exact words maybe, but still... What if I wanted him to pick me up as well? And bring me as well back to their place? Makes me frustrated. And then he couldn't come online after he got home either, not that I asked him (I was playing NWN) if he was online even though his status was offline (he usually is online all the time), but neither did he write anything to me. So now I'll try to keep myself from contacting him, most likely I'll fail, as usual. Time'll tell.

Other things about today (or yesterday I guess):

• After almost 3 months in Canada I've finally got myself a canadian cell phone number!
• 3 random persons came up to me and told me they loved my coat (only 1 person did that yesterday)
• I havn't done any of the home work I planned to do, or well, parts of me planned to do.

That's it for now. Big question? Read Vampire Hunter D or watch True Blood? Or skip both of it and sleep? :S
