I saw a building on fire while getting ready for school. Figured it was just the news. In second period heard more news on the radio than usual but kept drafting. In third period walked into class with my bitch teacher about to cry and the TV on. Then I knew.

What are we really supposed to do today? How are we supposed to express concern for this craptacular event in history?
“Happy 9/11″?? No.
Have sadness and remorse on your face all day? No.
Throw a parade? No.
Everyone flock to New York? No.
Go around and find people who knew victims in it just to tell them you’re sorry? I don’t think so.
It’s just confusing to me. The media and gmail FWDs seem like they’re making me feel like an asshole for not actively doing something in remembrance. But really, what CAN we do?
I guess just re-Tweet, update my Facebook status and blog about where I was when I found out the things that had happened on September 11, 2001.
