i love my mommy
11 September 2001 at 10:55 pm

it's times like this when you can't help but love your mom. i'm leaving in 3 days, and i think i would have been ok, but now i'm a complete wreck. listening to news reports about people calling their wives and husbands from their cell phones to say goodbye. to say goodbye! knowing they were about to die! and in the midst of all the confusion, thank you to those aboard the flight that crashed near pittsburgh. the latest reports are that the passengers forced the plane down, knowing it was going to a national landmark. to say they are national heroes is an understatement.

and i'm too numb to be angry. i want to hate our government because they didn't stop this, but they couldn't have. and yet, what else can't they stop? i am, however, filled with inspiration knowing we have suffered this before, though not at this magnitude, and we have persevered and flourished. and we will do so again. because we're the united states of america, dammit! it's what we do.

About me
Hi. Morgan, 27, of Santa Barbara, CA. I am a hypocritical admirer of rhetoric (when it is my own) and an observer of literary trends. A secret: I don't take anything very seriously, and that includes myself.
