another year, another epiphany

Monday, September 11, 2006. This marks the fifth anniversary of 9/11.

Why does 9/11 not have a name, but instead is called by its date?

That sucks. That's like being the third child and being named '3'. (Anybody think of Ender's Game like I just did?)

I realized this will be the last Sept 11 I observe in LA. By this time next year, I will probably be in a new city, perhaps a new state, unemployed, and enrolled in the most expensive education of my life.

That makes me more than a little sad.

It's hard to buy stuff when you're unemployed.

Yes, I WAS thinking of Ender's Game as I read that. Weird.
