§ Omaha Angel §: Damn How can you miss someone forever?

I know it isn't my ususal cheery crap, but Matt Damon reminds me so much of him, and I consider this one of my fave movie lines...although I have so many...but today is just fits...and no, you will never forget...it gets way easier...but a song...a look...an attitude...even a scent will bring someone you love back to your mind...because that never leaves your heart...so yea...I am over it...as much as one can be....he would have liked this movie if he had ever seen it.

"Now the politicians are saying 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area' cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there getting shot just like it wasn't them when their number got called 'cause they were off pulling a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southy over there taking shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at just got exported to the country he just got back from and the guy who just put shrapnel in his ass got his old job 'cause he'll work for 15 cents a day and no bathroom breaks.

Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price and of course the oil companies use the little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices, a cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at $2.50 a gallon. They're taking their sweet time bringing the oil back...of course, maybe they even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long till he hits one, spills the oil, and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic.

So now my buddy's out of work, he can't afford to drive so he's walking to the fucking job interviews, which sucks, because the shrapnel in his ass is giving him chronic hemorrhoids and meanwhile he's starvin' cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blueplate special they're serving is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what'd I think? I'm holding out for something better." ... (more)
