Cool On 9/11...

Deja Vu... All over again.

I think I have written this before, but I got up (I am on the West Coast) and checked my email like I do every morning. I had over 150 messages, and as I started reading them, I thought it was some weird internet hoax. Then one of my sorors called me about it, and I finally turned the television on. That had to be one of the most horrible things I have seen, and I have seen a LOT.

Anyways, now that it has been seven months, I am trying harder to help and understand other people. I still don't have patience for people who have tried to justify overt racist behavior at airports and other public places with their own fear and ignorance. That sounds too similar to what African-Americans have been going through for the past four hundred years or so.

I don't take people and time for granted like I used to, but I also have a lot less patience for BS, drama and those who are about BS and drama. I pray for them, and treat them with respect, but I have to deal with them from a distance.

I still believe in high quality flaming every now and then... Hee hee.
