Saturday, October 19, 2002 ( 8:00 PM ) Dear World, Today I was walking down Telegraph Ave and I found a video on the ground that was my favorite video when I was younger and it inspired me to love frogs. It's called "The Magic Schoolbus Hops Home." I picked it up and brought it home with me and this might sound morbid but I laid it down in Henry's house right in the spot where he used to sleep. Maybe later I will realize how gross and disturbed that is and I will take it out and actually watch it. I am afraid it will make me cry though. But then why did I pick it up in the first place? I couldn't help myself. Anyway, right at that moment I thought that the war had come to the Bay Area as a horrible noise occurred overhead that must have been a fighter jet but I couldn't see it, I just heard it. And it reminded me of two things. One, I hate the Blue Angels and I think it's pretty sick that people get off on glorifying war like that. Or that they even like all that noise! Here's someone who agrees with me: Pretty Blue Angels Of Death / A dazzling air show, a bitter reminder of what hell we are causing elsewhere, free balloons for the kids So the other thing it reminded me of is don't people realize that the Fourth of July is a holiday where we glorify bombs and blasting people into the outer stratosphere? Even the sound of fireworks sounds like bombs. I don't like it because it scares animals, babies, and me. Why can't we glorify something more positive? I like hearing about the 70's when people glorified Sex, Drugs, & Rock-n-Roll. That sounds much more useful. Glorifying Peace and Love sounds really awesome too actually, but then later all those people got laughed at when it turned out it was all a pipe dream and there is no such thing as peace or love. At least sex, drugs & rock-n-roll do definitely all exist.
