twenty-eight years and a million words
After yet another migraine, I finally got going late in the day to head out. The Sun was going down before I left the apartment. Fncking migraines!
In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
