Tonight's DU Insomniac Thread (Welcome 1 May) Woo Hoo
Edited on Sat May-01-04 12:16 AM by chair094
I am bored.

In other news, the Chair checks in at 12:14 CST; check in time is midnight local (1 am for EST).

Tonight's hockey news: The Toronto Maple Leafs win Game Four! Score: 3-1. The series is tied at 2 games apiece.

1. Why the hell am I still up?
I have people coming over tomorrow, and I have to be up at a reasonable hour.
I think I need to go to bed.

10. im still debating on what im gonna do if they bring back the draft...
Edited on Sat May-01-04 12:32 AM by LastKnight
my first and most natural reaction is to say 'fuck it' and go to prison to make a point... but then again, after i thought about it for a few minutes...

if it looks like im gonna get drafted... id show up at the air force recruiter's office and sign up in the engineering dept. or become a jet mechanic or something, id wanna pilot them but since my eyes are bad i know they wouldnt let me... so id be stuck fixing em. but that way, sure id be in longer, but when i got out(depending on how long i stayed) i would possibly have a retirement pention. and at the very least a marketable skill in the job market or something.

anyway... thats my draft plan, i know no one asked and no one cares, but still lol.

12. If they don't give me a medical deferment,
I might commit suicide to preserve my honor.:puke:

(And I should be able to get that medical deferment relatively easily--I am NOT fit to serve.)

13. think they will be giving deferments...
Edited on Sat May-01-04 12:50 AM by LastKnight
...to college students this time around if they bring it back? somehow i kinda doubt it. cause ive got at least 4 years of that ahead of me.

and yea, ive thought of the suicide before serving option... and if it they were gonna send me to iraq... thats probably the route id take.

it depends on if it was a legitimate war. i wouldnt object to taking part in a legitimate war, problem is we havent had a justified one (excluding 9-11) since WW2. but war for oil and money? fuck that shit... id do what those monks did to protest during the vietnam war.



protest via self immolation-shows your serious enough to die for your cause in a nonviolent way.

brought into the protest repertiore by Thich Quang Duc, on June 11, 1963

EDIT: did i just make this thread way to serious?

15. No college deferments,
Edited on Sat May-01-04 12:55 AM by chair094
but I am physically not fit to serve. Just like Rush!:) (except I have flatfeet and crappy vision that isn't completely correctable)

If they don't give me a medical deferment, I will ask members of the draft board to shoot me right there. If that doesn't convince them I am MENTALLY unfit to serve, I don't know what will--I will make it very clear that I will kill myself before I serve in bu$h*'s giant Money Grab.

This country has lost its last shred of honor under bu$h*. I would rather martyr myself protesting bu$h* (in a manner becoming ancient Japanese culture) than martyr myself for a dishonorable cause. At least then I would have some honor.

Edit: You made this thread really serious, but I don't mind. I need to have these chats every now and then.:)

Edited on Sat May-01-04 02:16 AM by ellie
I have been sick all week, fever, body aches, coughing, sneezing. I was unable to sleep last night and had to take a nap after work. I have decided that I am going to stay up all night. If that is the way my body wants it, that's what it will get.

I am watching the replay of the Flyers/Maple Leafs game. I didn't know Toronto won, but I am going to watch it anyway. Go Leafs!

Edited to fix time. I may be more tired than I thought!

33. My 3yo just coughs and coughs and coughs and coughs and coughs and coughs
Damn cold. I have it too.

And she keeps kicking away her covers. And, during the day, she always finda a way to (1) jettison her shoes, (2) play with water, or (3), open the refrigerator door to stare at its inside. If we're not vigilant, she'll do all 3 simultaneously.

And the clothes store my wife works at decided to flaunt the NATIONAL HOLIDAY and demand everybody shows to work. Yes, I already files a complaint to the Ministry of Labor. Let's see if they do something.
