Go On
I can't go on like this. I keep inventing useless things to do merely to kill time. It's not that I do not know wasting time will end up wasting myself. I can't help it. I just want something to occupy my mind, to stop me thinking.
Its either Internet Spades or Blogging until 3 in the morning. As if these weren't not enough, I began to try scripting, database/SQL, browsing my own hard disks and even drafting a Will. I wouldn't go to bed until I nodded off in front of my pc. My eyesight is failing fast, I can't breathe.
"There is not an oil company out there that wouldn't be interested in Iraq", wrote Morgan and Ottaway. Everyone wants a piece of it but one has to be very tactful indeed. To make any reference, however indirect, to the oil would be positively indecent.
The Russian is growing a bit impatient - they are not going to be satisfied with just some left-over from the US. They made their move and now these two are bargaining. France will join in soon. Well, the Brits are ok, they are very much guaranteed a good slice of the cake. They had been there and they know the oil fields by heart. They had tried. Forget about China, they should be happy with some left-over of left-over. Now the Security Council members are all out of the way. But let's just not forget about Germany and Japan, at least we should be seen to be bringing them on board.
We recall how Shanghai was divided up and colonized by very much the same powerful nations when China was invaded. They know the play - and the scripts are not much different.
