Wake up with a headache, nothing new there.. This past Saturday was not that bad at the very first.. Then I woke up.. Checked the email, Facebook(s) and everything therein.. Then headed for the movie of the day.. I had never seen Scarface before.. Through the entirety of that movie my head started to pound and throb.. Well this movie sucks.. The movie didn't suck, my head hurting was the worst part of it.. Then I came down and something strange was going on.. My left eye wouldn't focus... What the hell is this about.. I've had this many times before when watching something on the old CRT (tube) tvs from back in the day.. It would take a short time to get my eyes to refocus and things were fine.. This was different, it would take through the rest of the day and beyond the night for my eye to get back to normal.. Finally yesterday morning it was back to normal.. So what happened?? My feeling was that three or four nights in a row of not getting more than a few hours of sleep caught up to me.. This happens when I don't get at least four to five hours of sleep a night..
Wow, we flooded over the weekend.. Well you know that will happen, when they call for 8 inches of rain, and we got an eighth of that.. We got a whole inch of rain.. Hey I'm not complaining, I was more than a little nervous about getting that much rain from the forecast.. Thanks for being wrong on that..
The movies I watched this weekend were.. Well, Scarface.. I had never seen that one before.. "Say hello to my little friend..." Yep, that line was there... Then I watched My Girl, with Macaulay Culkin in the geeky little boy roll.. And Anna Chlumsky.. Another movie I had never seen before... Then there was this little movie.. :
Any time I watch a documentary about something I know I'm gonna get pissed off.. Drone was no exception.. You know that the truth of the matter is and I felt this way before seeing this movie, I'd rather we use drones than put troops on the ground.. There are several ways to look at this though.. Having people use drones takes the horribleness out of shooting the gun on location.. Flying the drone means you can kill whoever and still go home for supper that night.. The feeling I had was so we are doing this and there are casualties from innocent people, there would be anyway in a regular war.. Drones can drop a bomb and take out whoever you are aiming at, and whoever is within twenty feet and maim others nearby.. What I got from the movie is we shouldn't be using drones and my feeling is they should work on the technology to get it fool proof.. They are using bombs now, what if they develop a smart bullet (like James Bond) and when they shoot it targets the person via their dna.. But the coldness of drone warfare is such that other forms of warfare could be acceptable to use.. Poison gas, small but deadly nukes or.. Full on nuclear war.. As long as we win who cares...
