Sept. 11th,

[badsrx7]

it is a beautiful, clear, cool day here in NY
not unlike 9-11-01

It's really eerie..

It feels exactly the same.

it was sad, we were suppose to have a moment of silence, but it never happened....

Us too, i wasnt too happy about that.

But anyways- i wore the colors today, and kept everyone who lost someone special and those who died during the attacks in my thoughts and prayers all day long.  :cry:

Never forget

I used to have, I think, 2 shirts: One with "NYPD" on it, and anoter one with something about the Fire Department. I don't know where they are, it ticks me off . . . I have nothing to wear, except my I (heart) NY shirt.

i was listening to my yellowcard cd that i got a week ago... and it takes me a long time to go all the way through a cd, cause i listen to the same songs over and over again. but today i was listening to "Believe" for the first time and i was paying attention to the lyrics and it is about the heros who lost their lives on September 11th! i recomend you all listen to it! it is on their newest cd "Ocean Avenue". its a really touching song!

here are the lyrics:
"Believe"

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring them down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

(Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site one year ago, and also those who came to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us make sense of our despair)

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

(The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here)

we didn't have any moments of silence cuz we had delay today cuz of Fog. But in my humanites class my teacher read a poem called Names... and it had names written w/ in the poem that were some names of the people who died on sept 11th.. it was really moving... I dunno i just know that someday my kids will ask me about it, and i'm always going to get a lil' emotional about it. What happened was big and i hope we continue to read off the peoples names every year!

today at school we had a ceremony to remember 911... and hope for peace. it was moving.. a girl sang "Imagine", people read prayers, we all sang "We Are The Children" and everyone each made a paper crane.
now i'm wearing my nypd shirt i got in NY last month...

I didn't have anything Patriotic to wear yesterday, so I ended up wearing my red, white, and blue lip ring. Since I can't wear it to school, I didn't wear it long enough yesterday, so I'm gonna keep wearing it - for days on in. Show those damned Iraqis.
