I've seen a few docos in the past year or two about Afghan grown poppies going to USA etc. But fucked if I can recall exact names, I watch probably over 1000 shows a year since I've had chronic pain. Being 'stuck' at home in cold days/season and shit means I like to watch stuff to take my mind off my pain. I just did "Afghan poppy documentary" and remember seeing

And some guy (british?) whose son had OD'ed on Heroin did an "objective" view on the war on drugs [and why it fails], it's something like "The War On Drugs" or "The drug war", I'd look deeper but some website just woke up my wife sleeping next to me (due to give birth in 2 weeks, OOPSY) so no more 'browsing' new sites tonight, just trying to fall asleep, we have her grandad's funeral tomorrow, been a hectic crazy time past few weeks/months, deaths, births, fixing stuff for relos and me trying to get back to (part time) work all whilst still having chronic pain gives little spare time for, such as checking sites like here and so.
At least tonight I've worked out I'm buying an ASUS transformer, tablet + dockable keyboard. And a new car next year MAYBE. "greatwall" C50, Chinese company, looks like

Interest from yearly investment FINALLY matures tomorrow, NFI when the $$ hits the bank account, it's gonna come in handy, disability pension with family allowance and my wife only getting carer $$ (for officially taking care of me, awww, she owns :D ) means we don't have the big spare $$$ like we did when I either worked or had TAC money, $750/wk taxfree for 3 years post injury, now we're a "bludger family" ha... Well, I'm hoping to get some work again soon, managing the pain good enough so I think I could work, just need employer(s) to put trust in me, good luck with that eh?
So, on topic.. Recently I read stuff like
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/03/osama-bin-laden-10-myths-cia-arsenal and basically says CIA 'creating' Osama (with money) is a huge myth. I'd do more research but as mentioned, grandpa-inlaw's funeral tomorrow, my wife's imminent birth and new doctor stuff is keeping me a tad busy, I don't find often having a complete minute where I'm able to sit down and do stuff all, I'm attempting to do that after this post. Rest and hope I sleep, if not 3mg xanax next to me will be downed so I can sleep but I try my best to sleep - sleep drug free, not the best since insomnia rules my world but I do my best
I thought I'd dribble crap in this thread since it may close 'soon', well time to try sleep. Enjoy all, hope I find more spare time (my mantra past year or so), it'd be appreciated, most likely won't happen heh *waves*
