the Twin Towers

I was just talking with a friend and remember something that I want to share with you. Remember how after the World Trade Center towers fell the media removed them from all images, movies etc? They had to edit the intro to 'Friends' to take out the towers. Spiderman had to be re-shot to edit out the big scene with the twin towers. It went on and on and on and it cheeses me off big time.

Let's say your mom just died. Would you tear down every picture of her in the house? Would you go back and edit her out of family pictures? Would you go through the home movies and re-shoot new scenes without her?

Of course not. I think the way to honor the twin towers and the sacrifice would be to celebrate them, not delete them from history. So you maybe say that the memories would be too brutal for some, and too emotional. Good, they should be. That was some heavy shit that happened to us that day and sweeping it under the rug won't undo it. That's all, have a great weekend.

Friday Fives

1. fast forward to your life in 5 years - what do you see?

much the same, probably. However, we'll be in a house somewhere wooded.

2. How much trouble were you during your school days.

school days? Not too much. I had decent respect for authority and enjoyed sports... until I was a teenager.

3. How convinced are you that the sun will rise tomorrow?

so convinced that I will waste no more time on this question. We need to get lamps, and generators STAT. I have been watching Lost all summer, so I know everything is relative... and the others are right around the corners at all times.

4. What spells adventure for you?

getting through the work week

5. If you could be invisible for the day, what would you do.

probably spend most of the day looking at nekkid girls. Then, hopefully, I would secure a lot of cash and some cool electronics. Then, back to watching nekkid ladies.
