well... its here... the day... + a year that is. id be lying if i said it is like any other day... everywhere i look, there are reminders. i go to ESPN to catch up on sports stuff... and they have a special thing, i flip through the channels and realize that alot of channels have things... including MTV who had an interesting story about a palestinian american comedian who was scheduled for a comedy routine Sept. 12. i for one have mostly gotten over it. mostly because i was not at all involved in the event. however... i couldnt help getting that sick feeling in my stomache that i first felt a year ago when i watched as the 1st tower sunck into its own smoke and collapsed. it was kinda weird to think that where they were once called "twin towers" they would now not... because there was only 1. then i realized it was only a matter of time until the other went down... unfortunately i was right. it was really weird that day, at school, it was hard to learn (and teach) and it was weird to day also. my math teacher decided not to have a normal class given all the stuff that was hppening on campus. and becaus of this, only about 8 people showed up to class... o well. anyways.. i was watching ESPN later on, and learned something very interesting and .....umm.... well interesting. it turns out that the soccer stadium in kahbul in afghanistan that was used before the taliban took over was used as just that... a soccer field, but the taliban, instead, used it as a public venue for public executions. either by hanging or by AK-47. they would actually hang people from the goal posts. since then alot has changed. under the new leadership it has been turned back ino a soccer stadium. and in February, the first game was played in quite a few years. it was a game between several players from nearby towns vs. players from the peace corps and stuff. only one goal was made.. by the Afghans... it was kicked into the very same goal that many were hanged from less than a year before. there were over 30,000 spectators at the game... 20,000 were turned away. some came from 100s of miles away.... many of them walked. and when that goal was scored, about 30,000 Afghans stood up and cheered... something they could not do before... it was illegal.
