sorry if I'm being a bitch but....

sorry if I'm being a bitch but....

Ok I am going to do this entry a whole 2 days early because I want to be one of the few people whom don't have an entry focusing on September 11 on September 11. You know what I'm saying? Good.

Now, beware all you 9-11 people, you may not appreciate what I have to say today. Now I will write a little disclaimer though.

Don't be offended by what I am about to write. I think it is totally cool if you are all patriotic and you are one of the people who will "celebrate" this anniversary. So do not take this in any way to be some sort of "treason" or impeding on your rights because it is not meant to do that.

Ok, now that that is done on with my little spiel for the day.

I am getting sick and tired of hearing about this 9-11 thing. It happened and I am totally upset about it, but all this coverage and publicity is just ludicrous. I think, if I was one of the many unlucky individuals that this would have immediately affected, that I would not want to have this keep popping up all year long.

I also think that this is a cheap shot for media professionals to have something easy to broadcast on.

Now, there are people that I just can not stand when it comes to this. These are the people who when it first happened was high tailing their asses to donate blood and money and do their good deed to the nation and the people. I give credit to these people and I am not degrading what they did at all. However, the part that I hate is that these people did not continue on with their efforts and I assume they just thought that they did enough. As if you could ever have enough blood or enough money to help these 1000's of victims and their families out or something. And what I am going to hate even more is when the anniversary approaches and they think they have every right to say "I helped them with this effort. This anniversary has meaning...etc." And when the day approaches they are going to contribute to the efforts again thinking they are doing their patriotic duties. It annoys me.

Now, I admit that I might have not made any effort to help. But that is because I knew that I couldn't continue to help them. I didn't have personal time of my own so what made me think that I had time to help others when I couldn't even help myself. Now I am sorry if that sounds selfish but I am just stating a truth that many are afraid to admit. To me it is worse to say you are going to continue to help and don't do what you promise. Which, in retrospect, would make people think they could count on you but now they have that empty void to feel. However, with the way I did it they didn't rely on me or my efforts. So which one do you think is worse?

Now, as I said, I hate that this happened. I hate that some damn fuckers from Afghanistan or wherever came to our country and fucked it up. But come on people, don't you think we have heard enough about it? There is a war going on because of it and 1000's dead as a result of it. I do think that is enough to make one realize and remember that such a traumatic and drastic thing occured. So, please give it a rest.
