So it's the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
I didn't know what happened on that September day until I was ten years old. I was five when the attacks occurred and any memory of that day, it was a normal day in kindergarten and I was home by noon. And how was I supposed to understand that a bunch of terrorists crashed into buildings with no real reason? I was only starting to understand what death was. It really was shocking how many people lost their lives when those planes crashed. I'm just happy that no one I knew was caught in or killed in the attacks.
Everything's changed so much since that day. The next year we went to war with the Middle East and we see the people in that area so differently. It's stupid how many Americans have stereotyped Indian and Islamic people to wanting to bomb any airplane their on with Americans. You think those people like being stereotyped thanks to some psychopath who thought what his goons did was honorable. Thanks a ton bin Laden for taking our troops away from home because of your ignorance.
Well it's ten years later, Osama's dead, and now memorials are gonna being built/finished being built and a new World Trade Center's gonna be opened in two years. Now I just want our troops home so they won't miss another Christmas with their families. I know cause my step brother's in the air force and we're trying to get him to come with us on our Costa Rica trip this year.
My normal life now is consisting of Sunday football and more writing.
Oh and I started a new blog once again at this link >>> http://lifethroughcalvinandhobbes.blogspot.com/
Enjoy!
XOXO,

Going overboard
I was shocked by that too when a new episode of AFV was interrupted. So sudden and just plain out of no where. After almost ten years and Bam! they found and caught him in raid.
Funny thing is apparently we gave money to the Taliban and unintentionally put al-Qaida in some sort of power and they declared war on us and caused 9/11. Kinda funny how the world works, eh? But hey, al-Qaida had their chance to do something big after 9/11 and they didn't so thank God they didn't do anything major like blow up a major city or something.
I find it kinda creepy though cause they matched Osama's DNA with a part of his deceased sister's brain and then threw his body into the ocean...? Because that doesn't scare you just a bit.
I'm kinda disgusted though with the people cheering over his death. Okay, he did destroy the Twin Towers and all this insanity that took many lives, but cheering? That's just... what's the word? Barbaric? Unnecessary? I think both. I know he's finally dead and he got what was coming to him, but that's totally stupid. Sorry if you had family and friends you lost in 9/11 but just because the guy who caused it was killed in a raid, it doesn't mean they're gonna come back. It's been almost ten years so get over yourselves.
The only downside about Osama's death is that the war's not over. Al-Qaida is still here thanks to bin Laden's successor. So until al-Qaida is officially gone, we still got a war to finish (And oil to save. The only other reason why we're there.). So hopefully before 2012 we can get all our troops out of that large sandbox. Hopefully.
