I forgot

By the way, I just realized that today is Sept. 11.

I had totally forgotten. What a great, and horrible thing.

Great that it is finally starting to be that tremendous event in history, not recent memory. That sense of closure and moving forward. None of these words are really expressing what I am tyring to say. I guess just a sense of removal from tragedy.

Horrible because I truly forgot. Rather than remembering, and thinking, wow, that is past, I just plain forgot. Not for long, one look at the calendar, and I knew what was what.

Looking at the sentence from above, removal from tragedy, just made me think what the fuck am I talking about? My Time magazine sits here with the very word tragedy on the cover. Katrina is still a headline of horror. The court system is looking to be more and more like the reason I move to Canada. Bush still has the capability of speech, which is always a tragedy. Iraq, ugh. Tsunami is mentioned often, and that isn't yet even cleared up, in fact I just read that there was a huge earthquake in Aceh. My friend is in Africa, and when I think of her, the whole continent's problems come to mind.

Those are only the big things. I personally am still without my car, looking at a huge bill, being an emotional wreck as I pull away from one girl, and an emotional nervous wreck as I can help pushing towards another girl.

Man, I almost wish I had still forgotten.
