Wow - 6 years...
Oddly enough I'm now in the basement of the same house, 6 years ago I was upstairs.
I'm eating my breakfast and drinking coffee (just finished) and skipping work.
6 years ago I was skipping school and eating my breakfast and drinking coffee upstairs.
I'm on the CP off topic forum, which is where I spent most of that day - between the TV and the PC.
I agree with the sentiment that there are other horrible things that we should pay attention to. Sadly, that's not how we work. It was on TV, we could watch it happen live, relate to it personally (how do I related to a starving kid? I just ate more protein with my eggs then those kids probably get all year), but I will go to work shortly and sit in my office a few floors up from the ground like I do every day, just like those people did.
I don't know... The longer it goes, the more I forget and think less about it. I read about Iraq and Afghanistan in the papers, it doesn't even occur to me that what's going on started from that day.
Pretty shizzy for anyone who lost their lives, or family members... But time tends to heal most things and hopefully you can move on. Life would be pretty lame if you couldn't.
