Remembering 9/15/01
Remembering 9/15/01:
"So, it's the afternoon of September 15th, 2003 as I am writing this, and I realize this is the two-year anniversary of the day I became bored with the 9/11 terror attacks on America. This was the day I found out for the first time in my life that the World Trade Center was not the official center of world trade, but rather just a lot of rented office space, and that any piece of video, no matter how shocking, bores me if it's replayed 14,000 times without, I don't know, some new ending tacked onto it or something.
Should I feel bad about this?
No, you're right. I should. And I do.
And... now I don't. Now I'm thinking about the six bootleg Matrix Revolutions trailers that have been leaked onto the net, realizing I spent six hours downloading them all over my 56K connection. I'm thinking about the new Osama Bin Laden video released a couple of days ago, and realizing I spent zero hours trying to download it. Al Queada promised to do something that would 'obliterate' the memory of 9/11 from our minds forever. Well, mission accomplished. You can kill me, Osama. But you can't hold my attention. "
