Nine o'clock this morning....what the fuck. The whole world is going crazy. I didn't get up until after the second plane hit and thankfully Angie and Leslie were home and i shortly found out that Sam and Lynn were home. Karina was gone but we thought she would be ok because the timing worked out that she should either be in the subway or already at work. We were watching the news when the first building crumbled and we ran out to watch from our beautiful boardwalk. In minutes, we watched the second one collapse, right when i was thinking of getting my camcorder (even though it seemed a little macabre).



I have never ever seen crazy shit like that and it was astounding to watch it just collapse. It was a weird feeling to realize that this huge momentous thing was happening across the water but we were okay. I mean, we got hungry and went to go eat but everything was closed. We were talking and speculating and joking at times even those all these people were dying a mere mile away. Surreal. We were amazingly close to the whole thing yet so far removed that it still seemed like something out of a movie. Everyone we know is accounted for now so that's good. Karina got to work before it happened and she's going to Amit's later. Mandisa was supposed to come back from Ann Arbor this morning but her plane went back to Cleveland. People keep on saying "thank god" and even though i'm by no means religious, that's the only thing that can be said each and every time i find out someone is ok.



Alot of people called but our phones were down and it was only through email and AIM that we got some word out. Thank you to everyone that called and contacted us. I wasn't that shocked at first but with each successive revelation and news story, i get more and more shivers. Me and Sam and whoever else are seriously thinking of getting the heck out of here and heading back to the cozy confines of Ann Arbor. No way i'm flying for awhile and no way am i going into the city for awhile. This is insane, gonna go watch some more TV....
