911DA Story: Story
Born on September 23rd 1965, I was looking forward to my 36th b-day,&,other than having lost both my grandfathers, one on September 17th of 1995 & the other in March 2000,I wasn't prepared to see another tragedy,this one being of a more National spectrum.
I had turned on the TV,in California,at 5:30A.M.,&,as usuall,watched CNN. The news being reported at that point wasn't really big,but,at that time,I didn't know the news would be ASTRONAMICALLY HUGE in comparison to "gas Prices falling","Wall Street has an off day".
The anchors at CNN had just returned from a commercial break, & BAM,I hear one of them saying 'Breaking News Out Of New York Involving The World Trade Center!!!"....well, I had figured that Mayor Guliani was about to make a speech.But, when this anchor continued by saying "The WTC has beeen impacted by a plane!!!" I lost it!!. In My head I'm thinking "What The....",cause it was so unbelievable.
As I watched the news story, the phone rang off the hook,as people I knew were calling to ask if I was watching the story on TV.I told them I was & to call me later if they wanted to talk about it.
2 hours into the story, right after the second building was hit by a plane. I got so emotionally out of wack, that my relatives were the first people I called. Most of them were either listening to it on their radios,on the way to work, or watching CNN like I was.
Now, I am into Karaoke as a hobby,& ,when the WTC,the second building, was hit, I called my close friend ,and karaoke buddy, to see if he was going to Karaoke in the next few days. He4 said He would be there &,like me, be doing patriotic tunes,each one in memory of those who had parrished,& those who were being deployed to,as President Bush says "Hunt Down & Punish" those responsable for this horrific crime against Americans.
By the end of the day,I felt mixed up inside. It was like a bunch of emotions had just been stitched together to create one MAJOR reaction.
Since Then,I have been doing nothing but living my life to the fullest,in such a way that shows those brainless jerkoffs that YOU CAN KNOCK DOWN A BUILDING IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT YOU CAN'T KILL THOSE WHOM BELIEVE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!
