where will we be?

[threeplusfire]

I've been thinking a lot about September, about last year. It's hard to escape, with the pictures on every magazine, every newspaper in the rack in the grocery, the commercials for massive media replay building up, the banner ads on Yahoo, all of it.

There was a brilliant post recently on LJ, calling for September 11th to be "Enough Day." I tried not to cry while reading it aloud, because it's brilliant and impassioned and terribly true.

I'm wondering what I will do on Wednesday. I don't know. I think perhaps I will stay down around campus, and Metro, for the whole day. Anywhere that I won't turn around and see those videos played over and over and over. Because, honestly, I don't ever want to watch that again.

If there's any way that I think would be honorable for people to celebrate I think it would be to turn off the TV, turn off the radio and spend time with those people and places you care about. I don't want to be any part of the media cashing in on our confusion and pain. Poo on them.

Indeed.

Melynda has to work on Wednesday, and I find it bizarre that the malls will be open. Who the hell will go shopping then?

that is odd.
