It's getting more challenging to leave some sort of thought for the day that's more encompassing than something like a status update. And I realize I may seem to focus on tragedy more than most, but I promise tomorrow's update will be happier.
I was reminded tonight of a man named Kevin Cosgrove, who for me, in a strange way, symbolizes all those who died in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. I suppose the reason for this is that his 9-1-1 phone call is one of the few that actually lasts right up until the South Tower collapsed. The desperation, pain and anguish in his voice never leaves you once you've heard it. And I think it's important that people hear it because it reinforces something that should never be forgotten. These men and women who had families, and were loving people, whose time on this planet was so cruelly truncated.
I imagine I can get some sense of Kevin's horror when I hear his voice, and it is unbearable. I'm thankful I'm not a 9-1-1 operator, and particularly thankful I wasn't the person he ended up calling that day. Because I would have broken down, utterly and completely.

fuck:
It's Michigander or Michiganian but the later is used by retards and douche bags. Michigander is the original and proper term. Our last Governor who was actually Canadian tried to institute Michiganian and a lot of people were like WTF? It's Michigander. In fact, Spell Check ok's Michigander not Michiganian so I say the former Gov can take her Canadian ass back to Canada and fuck off properly. Tempe reminds me of Ann Arbor and Lansing. Minus the fact that Tempe is in the middle of the desert and has a bunch of mountains around it.
