Now I told you guys that I wanted to put up my venting on the whole World Trade Issue. Now you can contridict my thoughts, love them or dislike them, but please just remember they are opinions and my outlook on life. So this starts from the day after it happened up until now. If you would like to add some comments, e-mail me at: Starlitska@aol.com
This is from Jennifer:
Brittany, I just read your WTC section of the site.
I've been listening to alot of music in the last few
days, as I always do, but it all sounds so much
different now. If you could possibly post the lyrics
to New York Minute by the Eagles on your site, I think
it would be fitting to show that this fictional
writing has turned to our horrible reality. This
entire city never believed something like this could
happen, and although we will go on, it will not be
exactly the same as it was. My memories of high
school just too blocks away will forever be marred
now, of what was once there, is no longer there
anymore.
Take care Britt, I'll talk to you later.
Jennifer
NEW YORK MINUTE
HARRY GOT UP DRESSED ALL IN BLACK
WENT DOWN TO THE STATION
AND HE NEVER CAME BACK
THEY FOUND HIS CLOTHING
SCATTERED SOMEWHERE DOWN THE TRACK
AND HE WON'T BE DOWN ON WALL STREET
IN THE MORNING
HE HAD A HOME
THE LOVE OF A GIRL
BUT MEN GET LOST SOMETIMES
AS YEARS UNFOLD
ONE DAY HE CROSSED SOME LINE
AND HE WAS TOO MUCH IN THIS WORLD
BUT I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
THINGS CAN GET PRETTY STRANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
LYING HERE IN THE DARKNESS
I HEAR THE SIRENS WAIL
SOMEBODY GOING TO EMERGENCY
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO JAIL
IF YOU FIND SOMEBODY TO LOVE IN THIS WORLD
YOU BETTER HANG ON TOOTH AND NAIL
THE WOLF IS ALWAYS AT THE DOOR
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
THINGS CAN GET PRETTY STRANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
AND IN THESE DAYS
WHEN DARKNESS FALLS EARLY
AND PEOPLE RUSH HOME
TO THE ONES THEY LOVE
YOU BETTER TAKE A FOOL'S ADVICE
AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN
'CAUSE ONE DAY THEY'RE HERE, NEXT DAY THEY'RE GONE
I PULLED MY COAT AROUND MY SHOULDERS
AND TOOK A WALK DOWN THROUGH THE PARK
THE LEAVES WERE FALLING AROUND ME
THE GROANING CITY IN THE GATHERING DARK
ON SOME SOLITARY ROCK
A DESPERATE LOVER LEFT HIS MARK
BABY I'VE CHANGED PLEASE COME BACK
WHAT THE HEAD MAKES CLOUDY
THE HEART MAKES VERY CLEAR
THE DAYS WERE SO MUCH BRIGHTER
IN THE TIME WHEN SHE WAS HERE
BUT I KNOW THERE'S SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE
MAKE THESE DARK CLOUDS DISAPPEAR
UNTIL THAT DAY, I HAVE TO BELIEVE
I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE RAIN
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
IN A NEW YORK MINUTE, EVERYTHING DID CHANGE...AND KNOW
WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THIS CITY, THIS COUNTRY, AND OUR
PEOPLE.
WITH LOVE, JENNIFER

I’ve got nowhere to turn but here. Why doesn’t anyone take this seriously…I don’t understand. We are in a state of panic…this is so scary, seeing people jump from one of our prized city’s buildings. It happened so fast, so unexpected.. It’s so sick…and now, even our own country is turning on eachother. We’ve all been on edge, and it’s driving me nuts. I’m afraid to be alone in my room, alone anywhere; for fear that I’ll be alone for eternity. Nostrodomus said this would be the start of the third world war, and in the long run, I think he’s right. As long as our allies stay with us, then we’re ok. But to put all our civilians in danger and panic is a terrible thing to do like a stable country like us. All they keep saying is to keep your chins up, and our country will stay together. But with a president like George Bush, how can we be sure. Nostradomus also said that the village idiot would become leader some day…enough said. Chills keep shivering up my spine and I can’t help feeling this sad. I can’t concentrate; I am glued to the television, the haunting video’s of the airplane replay in my mind. I can’t…stop crying. This has been the scariest 48 hours of my life. Knowing that my sister might go out to sea tomorrow, knowing that my sister lives 10 min. away from where terrorists were found in Boston, and knowing that in 10 seconds, my life could change, just as it did recently. And since no one believes me, I’ll just tell myself, but this is far from over and Iraq has done this. Today, on September the 12, I am stating that Iraq has committed this hanus crime, and If I’m wrong so what, but something in my gut, my heart, my soul, my body is saying, it’s Iraq. And how do people expect us to get on with life so fast. I can’t concentrate on work, kickline or dance without the images flashing in my mind. Why has this affected me so much, and why does it hurt so badly?

School is hiding something from us. There was a bomb threat today, but they said it was the boilers…but who has the boilers on in Sept? This is hell, I live on edge, scared to move, scared to do anything, scared to be alone, and now Bush has officially called this war against who ever did this. Cough Bin laden cough aha…I have to study Bio, even though school isn’t really on my mind tonight….

As I sit and watch the candles burn, I rememberall he brave who have supported the USS in our time of gried. All thoes who died in the collapse of the WTC and all hoe who died tryin to help them. Te sky is paited a pinkish-orange and the clouds hover solemnly. The sweet sound of Amazing Grace is playing on the TV and the world is remembering. Remembering the tragic day when we lost o many to a ans crime of terrorism. Lt uspray to anyone we canto celebrat the lost and loved. Wether this lads to war or not, our country will stand strong,united we stand, divided we fall. We will not lose this battle to terrorism and I make an oath to do everything I can to remember thoes lost. The smell of smoe nw fills the air. The bloc has lit a candle represening the burning light our country is. The eternal flame will never die. We musn't live in fear, but we must live in pride. We must beproud f the hope and strength o our country to get us trough thistime of sadness. A small i of the sun is left shining beyond the clouds. Perhaps it represents the hope of our country. It will remain the sun, the eternal flame and the stregnth our country endues. God Bless America, we will get through this...
