I’ve been listening to a lot of DJ Quest lately. It’s got some pretty deep sounds in a few of the tracks. Track 5 is a good one. I don’t know which CD I’ve been listening too, I just know it’s track 5.

It’s really funny that so many people acted surprised when the first reports of American casualties came out of Iraq. A war is being fought, isn’t it a known fact that people die in war?
Butler is doing very, very well in the NCAA tournament so far. They beat Louisville yesterday and Mississippi State the other night. In the brackets, I had Butler losing to Mississippi State, like quite a few other people did. I’ve never even heard of Butler…oh well. Michigan State is also doing much better than I thought they would. They controlled the entire game against Florida yesterday. Michigan State ended up winning by 22 points. Who would have thought?
Most people probably already know that the war has started agains Iraq. Coalition forces are also involved in raids in Afghanistan. Fighting what could be seen as two seperate wars probably isn’t a very good idea. Hopefully the activies in Afghanistan will end soon. Iraq should probably be the main focus at the moment.
Saddam probably won’t just “go away” as everybody thinks he will. He’s already fired missles at Kuwait and has begun to set oil fields on fire. I wouldn’t be suprised if he starts attacking the Iraqi people within the next couple of days. It’s won’t be that difficult for him to do a LOT of damage in a short ammount of time.
I guess it all depends on how the first couple of days go. If the coalition bombing campaign goes as planned, Saddam might not get a chance to carry out all of his plans. Saddam shouldn’t be our only worry though. Attacks by other terrorist groups against the US and our alliances will probably come at some point during the war.
Media coverage of the war is pretty good. The news media is already starting to get annoying. Their favorite phrase to use right now is “embedded reporters”. All they talk about are news reporters that are embedded within certian military divisions. Who cares? The news media seem to be very pleased with themselves. After the war, I expect we’ll see reality T.V. shows such as “Survivor: I’m an Iraqi Citizen” and “Which POW Wants To Be Freed?”
What a shame.

It’s finally starting to get warm around here. Last weekend, it was really cold outside. Right now, it’s about 64 outside. It’s supposed to get up to around 70 today. I’ll probably go do some stuff outside…like clean the inside of my car out.
