Out of the Blue

Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. So much has changed in the ensuing time it is quite staggering to consider... I'm not really sure how this would apply to those living outside the U.S., but it's really hard to imagine any amount of time doing anything to diminish the impact of 9/11 here. Anyway, nothing I'm going to say here can do the gravity of all this justice or put it into any sort of perspective, so having said this now, I'm pretty sure I'll just forego an Out of the Blue ramble for tomorrow. Here's to the sincere hope that the ever-rising global tensions that have surrounded this event start to ease soon so we can avoid further tragedies.

I think the biggest fans of American media aren't Americans. I've been all over the world, and you wouldn't believe what other countries read and watch about America. It's embarrassing. Most of the news and stories are incredibly exaggerated and don't even come close to what's really important. I just wish people outside of this country would stop stereotyping Americans based on what they read in the news and see on TV (or governmental decisions, for that matter). The world must remember that Americans are made up of all cultures and nationalities. We, as individuals have our own beliefs, our own religions (if religious at all). We can choose our own paths... and that kind of freedom is what's so great about America. I've got to say, one of the best feelings I get every day, is when go to work and walk into my office and look around. To the left of me I see my friend who is Indian, I look to the right and I see my friend who is Chinese, across the hall is a friend who is African, around the corner is a friend who is Canadian, my boss is Vietnamese, the receptionist is Irish, the network administrator is Saudi, other co-workers who are Lebanese, Israeli, German, Czech, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, etc etc etc....

I love that shit.
