something else

there is no specific purpose for this post. i am home from riding bike. to the library, to city council. i missed the portion of the city council meeting during which citizens may speak; specifically I missed the part where people talked about a proposed city council resolution supporting an end of the occupation of Iraq and a withdrawal of U.S. soldiers.

i went to the last one and spoke. it was about Iraq and i was nervous because that stuff makes me really nervous. city council has so far refused to even have a vote on it. most of the members do not want to endanger their re-election by coming out one way or another on the Iraq war. there is one who openly opposes it. he claims it is not a local issue. the weekend before that last city council meeting, a young man from Fort Collins was killed in Iraq.

this time i thought it was at 6:30 but i got there and it was over.

i had just been reading about consumerism, separation of self and others, and the war in Iraq. i was feeling pretty shitty and hopeless. then i figured i would go to the city council meeting at least.

anyway, i just ate some food and i am going to drink water. that is about all.
