maybe it's a good thing that you can't always get what you want

I guess we all long for something we don't have, maybe something we can't have, maybe for something that doesn't exist and never will.  In Uncle Ken's personality theory we have the pleasure cruisers, the warriors, the climbers, and the seekers,  Actually according to my theory we are all composites of the four types, much as from the Greeks to the middle ages all matter was composed of earth, water, air, and fire in differing proportions.  Anyway the people who have a lot of seeker in them are the ones looking for something that never was and never will be.  It's almost like we are actors in some boring movie and all around us we can sense cameras, stages, directors, but everytime we turn to face them they are not there and there is nothing but the same boring movie.

You might think that the climbers, who seek things that can be had, are better off since well, they can get what they want, and maybe they are, but maybe not so much that one might think because sometimes when they get what they want they feel kind of empty.  I am thinking here of the really successful people who knock themselves off.  Before they had everything they could think if only I had that house, that sweet job, the adulation of the masses, then I could be happy.  But then they get it and they are still not happy, and then they realize that they can never be happy and then they knock themselves off.

I don't see how a woman would be flattered by someone thinking she was a prostitute.  It's not like you need any talents or beauty to be one, you just have to put yourself up for sale   Perhaps she was in some kind of flighty mood and was into joking around about it with some GI.  Some years ago prostitutes used to approach Johns by asking if they wanted a date.  Perhaps her English was not so hot and she thought Beagles was asking her for a date.  I guess we will have to wait for Beagles to tell the story, but I am suspicious, sometimes he presents us with what purports to be a true story but turns out to be a setup for some kind of pun,.

I've long took a dim view of our soldiers mission in the mideast, but what is behind Trump's sudden withdrawal from Syria?  Remember the Peshmerga, the armed Kurds who call themselves We Who Are About to Die?  The Turks hate the Kurds because the Kurds want to carve a bit of Kurdistan out of Turkey.  The only thing keeping the Turks from moving into Syria to the Kurds out is that US troops are there among them training them because they are the best ISIS fighters, though there real goal is the establishment of Greater Turkistan.  Once the US troops are gone the Kurds will indeed be about to die.
