not myself that's for sure. I deleted my online dating site profile. i gave it a good try but i'm not going to find what i'm looking for online. just didn't seem to fit.
so i was thinking about all the goings on in the Gaza Strip and finding a sense of apathy has taken residence in me.
The conflict is terrible and the killings so senseless. ideologically i can understand. But emotionally i just don't get it.
This conflict has been going on for so long now with so many dead and seemingly remains at an impassable deadlock.
who belongs: who owns: who controls: identity grounded in place: economic: political: religious: dogmatic: faith?
The more i thought the more i realized that entropic apathy sparked by frustration had taken hold. And i couldn't help but wonder: what is to gain and who gains by keeping conflict in this region?....obvious answers come to mind, but i'm at a loss. the all-pervasive quest to conflict is the winner in this arena, and my sense is that the worst is yet to come.
to me it seems the appointment of blame is redundant. i'm trying to look at the situation in and of itself. and all i can think is that it is such a waste of time, money, and most importantly human life; but i don't live there and from my safe outsider vantage point it's very easy to be jaded.
while thinking about all this i was reminded of a song by the Hooters - "all you zombies" and thought it was fitting for my sense of confusion and dread

Online dating sites are such strange beasties.
Very useful to get simple sex if that's all you're after.
I went through that stage. Once I proved to myself even I could pull, I was over it.
hmmm...all those years ago.
I don't think they're all that useful for finding a meaningful relationship - if such a thing exists anymore.
