My brain is finally starting to shift into school mode. Which hopefully means it has switched into blogging mode as well. When my brain is in summer mode the blog tends to take a back seat and I tend to forget about. So now hopefully I should start posting more often.
Today, well yesterday now,was the five year anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the pentagon, and lets not forget United flight 93. A news reporter mentioned how we do things in fives and tens and she was right not a whole lot was made of the past four anniversaries of 9/11. But, this year things were completely different. Most news stations spent the entire day (and even the History Channel) talking about nothing except 9/11 and what has happened since. Even MSNBC re-played the entire tellecast(from 9/11/01) of the attacks this morning. I was glad to see the media concentrating so much on this anniversary because I have noticed that each year more and more people seem to forget what 9/11 was all about and hopefully some of them watched some of the coverage today was got a reminder. I am sure I am about the zillionth person today to post about the anniversary but there is good reason. Thinking back though its hard to believe its been five years. Where have the years gone, next thing I know we will be remembering the 25th anniversary.
Anyway, not much going on here on my front. Other than the usual school and work anyway. Though over labor day weekend I ran into a friend of mine that I had not seen in five years. His name is Scott, and I was walking around my sisters neighborhood trying to figure out where my niece had gone when a van pulling a trailer drove by. I thought nothing of it until I saw it come back and stop about four doors down from my sisters house. I noticed the passenger in the car and thought to my self "Hey, that looks like the one guy from Scott's band". Next thing I know the drivers door opens and I hear "Kenneth is that you?" and I see Scott climb out. Strangely at the time it didn't seem that strange to me that I had just randomly ran into a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in five years, as it wasn't until later that I actually got a laugh out of it. He was in the neighborhood doing some recording with his band, "Philmont", of which he is the lead singer.
Well that's about all I have this time. Plus it's late now and I have an early class so I am off.
