Yeah, when I was in school journalism I wrote a story about that stupid list. And I definitely brought up "It's Raining Men" and the principal pulled my story because I was being insensitive or some shit like that. I don't mean to be rude when I say this, but people need to get the fuck over it. Yeah, it is sad that people died, especially those who didn't deserve it, but give me a break. It was one freak accident of a day. If we get past this 9-11 there won't be another major terrorist attack on the US for maybe another 20 years, if not longer.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
