i was in my junior year of high school. i didn't have morning classes and was sound asleep. my mom woke me up and told me that there was a massive fire at the world trade center. i was like 'yea okay i'll wake up and look at it in a bit.' she was insistent that i get up and look at it on the tv. so i sluggishly got out of bed and went to the tv. i was watching for maybe a few minutes when tower 2 got hit. i was definitely awake at that point. school was subsequently canceled for that day and the next as the whole world just kind of put their lives on hold to watch what was going on. i'll never forget that day and the weeks after that. it was a tragedy of epic proportions, but the patriotism that came out of 9/11 in the weeks following the attack is something i doubt we'll ever see again.
what i'm doing tomorrow? watching football and drinking domestic light beer. fuck yea america.
