Notice

Jpshostr · September 13, 2001

Since the moment that the terrible events started happening yesterday did you notice how just about every board on the net, this one, PUTC, etc. suddenly almost came to a stand still? Very rarely have I gone to PUTC and not seen a new post in the bash forum, or come here and not see any new posts at all. Looks like everyone has realized what we were talking about before these terrible events began really didn't matter in the grand scope of things.

I'm ready for the healing process to begin. I know there is much work ahead for our leaders in Washington, not to mention all the unsung heros in NYC, but we must go on with our lives in the American way. I will always be thinking of the people who's lives have been disrupted forever in the past two days, but I also will not let it rule my life. I have hardly written a word about these events on any of these boards, and this may very well be the only essay I will write, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't affected me deeply. Makes me realize how vulnerable we really are living in this great country, even living in the cornfields of IL I have this feeling.

God bless America. Bring justice and punishment to all those who deserve it in a quick and decisive manner. All those involved remain deeply in my thoughts.

I didn't even get on my computer until 2:00 pm and I woke up @ 9:00AM.I usually don't come in here in the morning anyway, butI usually sleep til late morning, or early afternoon. But I usually come on here right after i get up, then I go to school work. One subject, then a 10 minute break, and so-on ans so-on.

But yesterday was very unusual to say the least. Yesterday I spent 30 minutes outside and thats it. I usually spend at least a total of 2 hours a day outside doing something. . During my short time outside yesterday, it felt strange, I felt like Dorothy in a bad version of the Wizzard of Oz. I stepped out my door after all the commotion, and I was in a different place, Somewhere different from what I'm used to. There were absolutely no clouds in the sky at all. Like the clouds were also banned from the sky along with civilian aircraft.

I still feel that way a little bit at this moment right now. Today's atmosphere was similar to yesterday's atmosphere, but I didn't feel quite as bad. 1 or 2 small clouds in the sky and that was it.

And also to know that 1,000s upon 1,000s have been severely injured (physically or emotionally), or killed due to this doesn't help.

I'm also finding out that I'm connected to this in a bunch of ways. Thankfully, none of the ways I'm connected are as serious as they really could be.

-My mom was supposed to fly to Portland, Maine next week. She had a connecting flight in Boston. Her return trip also has a stop in Boston. Her return trip to Boston would put her on the same plane w/ 2 of the hijackers if her trip would've been this week or vice-versa.

-those same 2 B*st*rds stayed in the same hotel my mom would've stayed at if she went.

-A stolen van from Massachusetts was found roughly 10 miles from my house if not closer.

But that's small potatoes compared to the thousands of other people who are connected to this in much bigger ways.

I am aware of that, it seems that most people are worried, scared, confused, angered and many other countless emotions about what has taken place just two days ago. It will take some time for people to get back to there normal lives.

I know how you feel, Jeremy. I was supposed to go to Maine Tuesday afternoon. If I had scheduled in the morning, things may have turned out very differently. All of my attempts to rescheduled were cancelled. It finally hit me (I never claimed to be the smartest guy out there), that maybe I should stay home.

I feel kinda weird myself, haven't done anything but watch news since the attack. I have three TVs in my house and all of them are on CNN
