You know who I am very pissed at? As you all know, there are websites out there that publish the horriffic, the obscene, the revolting things out there. Personally, I think the WTC incident should be off limits but not to some websites. They post pictures like it's some kind of a movie. I won't post the addresses because people will write hatemail and they love hatemail but let me tell you, I'm thoroughly disgusted by it.

Guys, I understand how you all feel, trust me, I felt the same way until I thought of it this way:

You have all this anger and rage inside of you. You want these guys caught and hung up by their bits and pieces. Suppose this, what if they aren't caught? Where has that rage gone? What has that anger done for you? Not a darn thing.

Use this experience, even though it's an awful one, as a time for personal growth and a time to let you realize what is important in your life. Use this time to send good karma to the people who need it. Use whatever you have inside you for good. Close your eyes and let the good vibes out. Even though it's been an awful day, try to get some good out of it. I know that sounds selfish and sort of assinine, but even if you can draw some good things off of this awful awful disaster, then it wasn't a total waste.

If all we get out of this bad day is anger, rage, and hate then we have done the victims and ourselves a giant misjustice.

Remember "How the Grinch stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss? The Grinch took away all of the christmas items from the people of Whoville but they overcame. Now this is much more than Christmas, we are talking about thousands of lives but the same principle still remains. Giving into what these terrorists want is just playing into their hands. We need to rise up and overcome. Show these punks that the american spirit, the will of the people, our "mojo" if you will cannot be broken by such cowardly acts.

"See to live, is to suffer. To survive, well, that's to find meaning in the sufferring." -DMX
