...I think I know what you're saying. This is probably one of the most monumental things that has happened in our lives (those of us in our 20s and 30s), and it's absolutely mind-boggling. What IS cool, however, is how everyone is banding together. I live in detroit, and the Red Cross donation centers are flooded with people giving blood, as I'm sure is happening all over the country. In the midst of all the tragedy, I'll think we'll also see the BEST that humanity has to offer rise up...THAT is "cool."
: READ THIS BEFORE YOU BITCH ME OUT. I DONT THINK DEATH IS COOL. IM NOT HAPPY IT HAPPENED. BUT DONT YOU ALL THINK ITS KIND OF COOL KNOWING THAT WE ARE LIVING THROUGH HISTORY AS WE SPEAK? WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE LARGEST TERRORIST ACT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. THAT, TO ME, IS KIND OF COOL. OUR PARENTS HAD THE DEATH OF JFK AS THE MILESTONE HISTORY MAKING MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES. WELL THIS IS OURS. 30 YEARS FROM NOW PEOPLE WILL BE ASKING "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE TERRORIST ACTS OF 2001 HAPPENED?" I FIND IT INTERESTING. THE ONLY THING THAT WORRIES ME IS THAT WE STILL HAVENT HEARD FROM SOME DEAR FRIENDS. BRYAN LYNCH CONFIRMED THAT THE VIEW ASKEW CREW IS OK. BUT WHAT ABOUT BRAD AND CHRIS OVER AT NEWSASKEW. WE HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING YET. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ANY OF YOU THAT HAD FRIENDS AND OR FAMILY THERE. I KNOW I LOST A FRIEND TODAY.
