up till this afternoon, the war in iraq really felt like a bad movie one would see on tv. i mean the tv networks really are making the entire thing seem too surreal to be true. then i got an email from a friend, telling me (and a bunch of other friends of mine) that one of our fraternity brothers, who is a naval fighter pilot, is stationed aboard the uss abraham lincoln, which oddly enough i had just been reading about on cnn.com.
now, it feels real. and i really wish it would go back to just being a bad movie. hell, i like bad movies, but this just sucks.
