I Give Up

I can't do it anymore. I'm done caring. Well, I'm done putting myself in a position to care, because it's really impossible to totally stop caring. It's an exercise in futility. Israelis and Arabs. Blowing each other up. It's horrible, but I've realized, there is never, ever (as in ever ever ever ever) going to be peace there. This isn't some squabble. They've been fighting forever. The UN and Condi Rice are going there? So? It's never worked before. Fuck it.

I realize the above is kind of cavalier in tone, but I really don't mean it to be so. In truth I'm horrified and sadened by it all, but it's dawned on me that peace is a fool's dream. It's just not going to happen. Just like I'm never going to be a rock star. Same thing. I mean, sure, it's technically possible... but really? Nope. This is the reality we live in. Fucking sucks. Almost makes me not want to ever bring kids into this shithole.
