September 11th... again

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

So the first week is over but that means the year is just beginning.  Yeesh.

It was two friend's birthdays today, on this memorable day, but thankfully this day was as much of a tedious memorial as past years.  September 11th shocked the world, not just the States, because besides being a tragic event it really emphasized that for all America's clout it's still a vulnerable country.  Keeping this in mind I still found it a bit much when September 11th of the past five years was instantly laden with the sombre cloud of mourning.  We get it, people died, it sucked, heroic things were done, people survived, but we still live in goddam Canada and other things happen.  "Never forget" seems almost appropriate until one remembers that almost every person in on the planet knows where they were when they heard about the attacks, and since the attacks launched 1 war, galvanized another, and the expected lifespan of today's youth is about 100 years old I don't think anybody is likely to forget.  I don't mean to be callous but, personally, I think "never forget" should stay reserved for the World Wars.

But good news today: I made supper and it was edible.  Chicken soup, rice, salad, beans, and chicken bits make good eatin'!  I also downloaded a game called "Gunz" and played it for a while with my roommate.
