Yesterday was pretty tough, as I knew it would be. It started driving to work, listening to the names being read, and the deafening sound of the moment of silence at the time when the first plane hit. I was already teary eyed coming into work. It was also a little weird to look out the window to the Amoco Building (one of the tallest in the world) because it looks SO MUCH like the World Trade buildings. We stopped by the memorial, and talked about it at work. One of the buildings across from us posted LET FREEDOM RING on each of their windows. I tried taking pictures, but my window is so dirty that my camera just focused on the dirty window. When I got home, I just watched the specials with my family. I kept on switching channels, wanting to watch everything. Each channel seemed to touch on a different aspect - the story of the survivors, a time line of the plane crashes, the effects a year later, musical tributes, stories of those left behind. There was just so much to see. But I couldn't tear my eyes away from it, as much as I wanted to just go to sleep and block it out. Some people told me yesterday that they wouldn't watch anything, that they would go on as if it was any other day, that the horrors of September 11th were too close in ones memory to relive. But I need to remember. I need to burn it into my head, because I don't want to forget, to take it for granted.
But today is another day.
So I go on! So, back to silly business. Well, this link I've got for you all isn't really silly. It's actually pretty cool. There's a lot of sites out there that do biorhythms, there's a lot of sites that do tarot, there's even some that do numerology. Well, Facade has them all, with some other kinds of divination that you may not have seen before. I used to go here all the time. There's some pretty neat stuff there. Check it out!
