29 years in human history: the total duration of time without war. What the f** am I acting so surprised for? If I had a dime for every single idiotic time I felt like strangling some goof on the street, I could afford a business cla** seat on f**ing Soyuz 13. Straight sandwiched between Tom Hanks and Lance Ba**. Already fighting, nowhere near space. Each of us a failed state in stark relief against the backdrop of... the perfect worlds we seek. Perfect world. Fantasy.
