Huh? What's this? Well I'm a Libra, I possibly would like long walks on the beach if I ever took one. Especially if I had my iPod and my trusty cancerettes.

So there I was yesterday, enjoying the tedious process that is military convoying. I was standing in the VC hatch on a stryker, with the wind kicking my ass. There were lots of people on the interstate, because apparently people drive on interstates. We would wave at people and people would wave at us. Sometimes people would roll down their windows and flash the peace sign at us. I responded by extending my hand, palm out, thumb outstretched, index and middle finger together, and ring and pinky finger also together, with a good space between the middle and ring finger. You know, the alien hello cliche? I'm pretty sure it means, "We come in peace." So I thought I should let these motorists know that we do in fact, come in peace.

I wonder what the point was of even doing that. Granted, I was flashing the peace sign a lot more than the civilians were, but that's because I'm a smartass.

"Well honey, now that I have thrown the peace sign at those unarmed soldiers driving home, I have every confidence that war and hate will stop EVERYWHERE and we will all slide along a rainbow only to be caught by the marshmallow clouds."

"That may be so, dear, but don't think I forgot that you're fucking my boss."

"....I want a divorce."
