Ugh i wish tomorrow were overwith already-i live in Arlington (sorry guys i get pissed when folks say the Pentagon is in Washington, its in Arlington Va and we have taken the brunt of the pain)
Arlington is a changed place-some roads are closed, there are Hummers with big ass guns and scared looking 19 year old sitting on them 24/7. some roads you can not take buses are trucks on, there are huge flood lights on the parkway (as if that is going to scare off terrorist, all it does is cause drivers to be blinded and have wreaks)
Every plane that seems lower etc everyone cranes their neck to look, then you wait a few moments to see if you hear THAT sound-the "Thwumpt" of it hitting the building.
Arlington has asked all high rise buildings to put these HUGE flags on their buildings this week-its moving, and upsetting. Every over pass, ever car, every person it seems has a flag on them, more now than ever it seems. The feeling is quite thick, almost like you could cut it with a knife.
We have had beautiful weather here this past weekend-just like the day of the attacks-perfect blue sky, moderate temps, low humidity-its now scary-somber to have a pretty day.
No TV or radio for me, i was sick of it by the end of the day on the 11th. Cant stand to see those moments that will haunt all of us forever. Go out, love someone, enjoy your life-dont let the media make us victims again and again-screw em!
