The Fog of War
Mar. 19th, 2006 11:02 pmI finally saw The Fog of War this evening. It's an excellent piece of filmmaking; it contained a lot of things I didn't know about the past century. There are even more things no one will ever know. I think it was a brave and socially responsible thing for McNamara to make this film; even if it is simultaneously his last word in how he will be remembered.
I found myself agreeing with him. War is just to complex to either understand or eliminate. And I hate that I think that way.
My class went well today. We had five people, which is a very comfortable size, many repeats from my first session. They gave me really good feedback. I wasn't as nervous going in, and I was much more comfortable throughout. I have less of that "You're a fraud" feeling that haunts much of my waking hours.
This weekend has been absolutely exhausting. I am not ready to face tomorrow. It's snowing rather heavily. I'm hoping that perhaps there will be enough snow to either cancel or delay work tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the first day of spring. This weekend is my anniversary of my return to Colorado. I have been feeling really down on myself, like I've failed horribly. I honestly don't know where to go from here, but I'd like to spend some time envisioning a positive future both for myself and the world.
