Friday, March 21, 2003 I�ve just went through a minute of thinking. Such a rare event it took me a while to recognize what that fullness in my head really was. My reasoning went like this: granted that NYC is a dangerous place to be at the moment (well, less dangerous than Baghdad, I suppose), but then again so is Buenos Aires. I could get gassed in NYC but I could be kidnapped in Buenos Aires. Similarly, JP is doing OK now but he is not entirely out of the woods. But who is anyway? He might have 7 or 10 good years ahead of him, he might have 30, he might be killed in a car crash tomorrow. Same goes for me and everybody else. I was trying to remember a time where I was not worried about the big bad wolf out there. Usually people think of their childhood as the careless, free period of their lives. I don�t, to me it was the worst. I acted more as an adult then than now, if you define an adult as a boring, fearful, prudent individual. I was way less playful, I had no control over my life and I hated it. Luckily, my life has gotten progressively cheerful. Not necessarily easier but certainly more joyful. Now whatever I have is my doing and I now that I do have control over pretty much all of my life, and it sure is a much better place to be. All this impressive mindwork lead me to one conclusion which, curiously, also happens to be my favorite motto: enjoy it while you have it. And I hope you will enjoy this introspective posting because there ain�t going to be many of them. On the war front, Forbes has come out with a list of the best war blogs. A very interesting read. 2:24 PM
