How Very Interesting...

The Intention Experiment

Just an Update

I suppose it's with a certain irony that today is the day I feel like making a real update. I don't have much to say about it being September 11 and all. What's left to say? Everyone knows how it's affected ourselves personally, as a country, and as a world. I have nothing to add. I feel bad for my cousin, whose birthday is today, and anyone else who had a previously happy and special occasion that's now marred by this event. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have had someone known personally to you be lost in the tragedy. I (to the best of my knowledge) did not, and that makes it all a little distant for me. There's a perverse part of me that almost wishes I had, to have some closer personal connection to the event, but I don't, and that's just the way it is. To say I wasn't affected by it is ludicrous. To say that it's a focus of my life, today or any other day, is equally ludicrous. To say that the politics that have occurred as a result don't affect myself and the rest of the world is also ludicrous. But, having said all that after saying I have nothing to say about it, I'm now going to go on to exhibit the bad manners of making an update post about the also-sometimes-ludicrous things that actually do affect my life. In respect for the day, I will at least put it behind a cut.
