Lonely

"I think it makes a big a difference knowing there's at least one person in the world who has your back, no matter what. It doesn't have to be the same person for your
entire life, but everyone deserves at least one someone."
Everwood

My someones have often turned out to be no-ones, and that really sucks. The bright side is that I'm used to being "independent" and being able to take care of myself. That's a good thing, right?

Observation

The other day I heard a story on All Things Considered about Donald Rumsfeld and how he refuses to resign. As of this December, his tenure as secretary of defense will be longer than Robert McNamara's. Is it just me, or is it a bad thing when people compare you with the "prime architect of the Vietnam War?"

Hmm... I've heard of several figures refusing to step down... Chavez comes to mind.

Just a thought.
