    I'll do what I do every day - go about my business...although I probably will not watch television.

    I actually hadn't thought about it that much MadMax. I wouldn't mind staying home, but all I would do is watch all the footage that made that day so painful. I will definitely watch some news to pay tribute in my own way, but hopefully it will be a quiet/peacful day. I might watch Independence Day or Die Hard. :D

    I'll go to work as usual, but I will probably be depressed and drink more than usual that evening.

    wow. thats a tough question.


    I'm going to wake up, for starters , and face my day.


    last year, I woke up at the strike of the first tower.


    this year I will do the same, I will turn on my radio, just like last year at 8:45 A.M.

    BUt this year, nothing will stop me from going about my day. no one has that power.

    I am getting on that subway at 9 o'clock, the stroke of the second plane.

    Then I am going to my 9:10 class , followed by my internship and then after that my after school day care program that I am involved in.

    just like I should have done last year.

    I will spend the rest of the day remembering what the last 365 days have been like.

    Not a day goes by that I did not reflect upon that morning, especially me finding some comfort from this BBS here.

    Maybe the healing process begins now, many it has already begun, many have much more healing to do.

    I Love New York, and I love America.
    may the healing begin................

    Lets see. I'll see if I can get some friends over for a party. Get some cool gifts. Uh...celebrate a bunch. Maybe fire some fireworks. Eat some cake. Be happy.

    Well it is my birthday your talking about, right?

    JK. (and if it was too offensive, I apoligize. :( )

    I'd start off goint to school. Go through a bunch of hard classes. After school, I'll chill a bit, possibly posting here. Then I'd do some homework. Watch some TV. Play some games. Pretty much nothing out of the ordinary. :)

    There is a saying in Buddhism...

    "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." So I guess for me it will be, "Before terrorism, chop wood, carry water..." you get the rest.

    As much as I want to show honor to the victims, I want to demonstrate my own resilience to those who would think otherwise. My memorial to them is that I will work to make the world a better place each day and not be frightened away from that task.
