It's Scam's birthday today. Happy Birthday Scam. It's Ms. Bringards birthday today too.

I went to the bank today. There was a television set up in there. There were a few people standing and sitting around. Most of the radio stations were covering the attack. It was getting a little repetitive, so I listened to the classical station, which was still playing music. Patriotic music. My brother came home from school today. His school is on a Cal State campus, and all the CSU's were closed. My mom came home from work early too. She works in downtown Los Angeles and hardly any kids came in to the kindergarten/daycare she works at. Something about the terrorist attacks has been on about half of the weblogs I've visited.

You know, my english teacher had told us one day that our generation was the "whatever" generation. I suppose it's true. At that time, nothing really major had happened. No major wars. Well, there was Operation Desert Storm but it had no effect on me, and I was far too young to understand the significance anyway. The WTC was bombed in 93', but that wasn't anywhere near something of this magnitude. I suppose we've all gotten lax. Because nothing has happened, everyone has expected nothing to happen...do you know what I mean? Maybe this is the wake-up call we all needed. It's too bad it took something like this to make us aware.
