Sep. 28th, 2003 12:14 pmSo two of my friends who've been together for 3 years broke up last night. They were engaged before, called it off, and now called the whole thing off. I got out of a bad 3-year relationship when I was in high school, and that was hard enough. I can't imagine going through that as a college graduate. Like right now, I'm planning my life around Jeremy. Not much will change about my career or anything if we were to end up not together, but damn, I can't imagine trying to separate my life from him. It's just that we depend on each other. I like that, though. And I'm not saying I doubt the certainty of our commitment, either. Just kind of reflecting.
In other news, I've been reading the news a lot more this year than my first two years at college. I spend about an hour or two each day scrolling cnn.com and such. I've always been a bleeding heart hippie, but I've realized that the news is like 99% awful. The economy's bad, people are dying, poverty is up, unemployment is up, the US is in two wars with nothing conclusive yet, everybody hates everybody. I mean, damn. It makes me wonder, if more people were informed, would they prefer to be part of the bad news and be proud of it (republicans, in my opinion), or would they prefer to be upset by it and want to change it (which is part of being a democrat/socialist, I think). I can understand thinking things like the army are necessary, but being proud of the military is something I don't understand...I guess I'll never comprehend that mentality. I'll also never understand how the religious right came to be allied with the NRA.
Abrupt ending.
Peace.
