I Guess It Should Be Said

Okay, I'd been on the fence about doing a September 11th
entry, but I guess there are somethings that need to be
said by the great and wonderful Aa-chan. Grant it, here
in Anchorage it's still September 10th, I'm still going to
do this entry just to get it out of the way.

Okay. So here's my story, about where I was 9/11/02.

So it was a Tuesday like any other. I'd gotten up.
Listened to KYW up until I left at about 8:30 in the
morning. I plugged on my tunes, left, hopped the 18 and
the subway went to school like normal. So I went to my
Cultrial Geography class and spent an hour and a half in
that class and when I came out, it was time for break and
lunch. But there was something really off about this.
The television was on by the transfer office and all these
people were crowded around it.

"Bah, it's probably nothing." I think to myself as I go
happily off to lunch.

So I cross the street and for some reason I go into the
Mint Building and I see the same thing. A whole bunch of
people crowded around a television. So I was like okay,
let me find out what happened. So I just asked some
random guy what was going on and he looked at me kinda
strangely and said, "You don't know?" So I'm like no.
And he told me. And I was kinda really shocked. Then I
heard something about a plane went down in Pennsylvania
and I was really confused. So then school shut down and
now I'm starting to panic.

Now, Philadelphia is about 2 hours away from New York and
we do have 5 skyscrapers and considering that a plane went
down in in PA no one knew what was going on, so the entire
city shut down. By then I was hystical. I tried calling
everyone I knew just to make sure everyone was okay, but
my cell phone wasn't working. So as fast as I could I
went to meet up with my brother, but his comic book store
was closed and I had to get home, because there was a
rumor that in an hour all public transportation was going
to shut down. Finally I'd made it home and met up with my
brother after I got of the 18, I was starting to feel
better. Once we got home, my parents slowly began to
trickel in and I felt better. I called everyone I knew,
even though I knew no one was in New York, except for my
former Shujin Bradley, which I later found out, he was
okay too.

By the late afternoon, everything had hit me. And I just
couldn't understand why? Despite what these people think,
the US is not without it's share of problems. I could
show them some nighborhoods that would make even the most
hardend Taliban member weep. So I spent most of the day
weeping and being really disheartened by the entire day.

So the day turned into the night. And as long as I live,
I will never forget how weird that night was. My
nighborhood, which always has some loosers and igmites
blasting music down the street was completely silent that
night. You could hear a pin drop. I was really kinda
creepy.

So time progressed on. At first I was really angry for
awhile. But by November I became a little less bitter.

*Sigh*

I don't know. I still have a lot of resentment, but you
can't harbor resentment forever. Not everyone is
responsible for this mess. There are a lot of people who
are responsible, but now's not the time to point the
finger of blame. People need to get off their asses and
do something tangable to keep this from happening again.

Oh goodness. And I'm sitting here in Anchorage and
they're talking about their doing whatever possible to
keep terrorist from attacking up here.

*Get wit me!!!*

What does Anchorage possibly have that could even be
remotely worth blowing up??? There are no skyscrapers.
There maybe three building that are about 15 stories.
Please!!! What are you going to do? Blow up a tree and
then find a wild moose behind it. It's like come on. If
I was going to cause trouble, I wouldn't waist it on
Anchorage.

Woo-hoo: I don't if you can be happy on such a strange
day. I wonder if it's okay to be horny, which is what I
am right now.

Barf: Nothing....
