“Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.”

It’s time to think for ourselves…

And the world shall hear the wrath of my keyboard…

Posted in January 2008 on January 17, 2008 by rooyj

So I’m new to this whole blogging thing.  I actually am slightly uncomfortable writing online for the entire world to access and judge my simple analysis of novels and how they relate to the world today.

 

Wait…

 

Who am I kidding?  The only people who will read this are the people that have too.  And maybe my mother.  Ha.

 

To continue with the whole reason I am writing this entry.  My feeds.  I started out with the mainstream news sources; the BBC, CNN, and New York Times.  The BBC because they provide an alternative to American news sources, CNN for their political ticker, and the New York Times for their headlines. 

 

I also subscribed to the Milblog “Iraq: The Purgatorium”.  I must say, it is an enthralling blog to read about a soldier in Iraq.  Even if you don’t have to read it, it is defiantly worth a couple seconds of your time.  Another blog I am reading is called “Third Times A Charm” from a soldier in Afghanistan, and another of “The Satirist at War” who is also in Afghanistan.  I subscribed as well to the Army pod cast as well as a video pod cast from the Marines.  I am still looking for independent pod casts of soldiers overseas, but so far have had no luck finding any. 

 

I think that’s about it for today.  Have a wonderful morning, mid-afternoon, and evening.

 

Cheers!
