Missing Posts
Published September 12th, 2006 in BlackgroundBeen debating on whether or not to post this due to my mixed emotions about the subject matter and because I really don’t think I make any valid points. Essentially this is an excerpt from an IM conversaton I had the yesterday night regarding the lack of 9/11 posts on my site.
Them: Hey, why haven’t you posted anything on 9-11.
Tony: I’m not good with things like that.
Them: What do you mean?
Them: You haven’t posted anything on attacks in the past
Them: don’t you think its time you should?
Tony: dude, slow up for minute.
Tony: I dont like to celebrate death. I don’t think its a health thing to do.
Tony: *healthy*
Them: How did you come to that conclusion?
Tony: If we focus to much on death, how can we live?
Them: So you don’t acknowledge the attacks?
Tony: Of course I do, thats not the point I was trying to make. I can’t begin to explain the feeling of numbness on that day. Shit I still feel that way now.
Them: so why haven’t you wrote about?
Tony: I’ve try, but I just can’t find the words

Man, if you don’t have anything to say for yourself, then posting just because some thinks you should is a mistake.
I have not posted about 9/11 because there is nothing new I can say that I have not already said in the past and thus, why say it again? It does not mean I grieve any less for those directly and indirectly affected by what took place.
Man, just in those few sentences you summed up the feelings of a whole lot of people far better than most of the politicians who spoke yesterday.
I haven’t posted anything about 9/11 either for the reasons Mike stated. I make no apologies about it. There are plenty of people who have posts detailing their feelings about the attacks and the aftermath.
Post about something because everyone is? Un-uh. This is your speace. Write about whatever you want.
I will not post anything on 9/11….we can’t move forward if we’re still focusing on it. It happened, it’s over and move on.
I don’t sit and dwell on madness like that….it’s kind of sick that the news and media do.
Bro. I agree with you, some people still feel horrible but try to make the best of what they have left going for them. Posting for the sake of someone else is assanine (sp?)and that person needs to re-evaluate why they want or need YOU to post. Everyone deals with tragedy and the aftermath in their own way…we should respect it no matter what it is. Hope things have been cool for you, take care Tony.

You post whatever you want in you own time. And if you never post on it you are still okay. This is your journal to express yourself in anyway you feel fit. Luv-Ya
