Just a stargazer

“Summer has come and past
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends”
-Green Day

It’s been hard to answer people these past few days when they say “how are you?” I think I had a previous entry about how there is a right answer to that question, but it’s hard to say ‘I’m fine’ when I’m really so disheartened about the damage of Hurrican Katrina. I have felt in the past few days that I am watching the events of my real life almost from outside, because I am not as concerned with the small stuff now. I’m just more afraid of the next terror. We’ll be due again in about four Septembers. I guess I just have to keep going on with my life, but that doesn’t mean I’m not troubled by everything that is happening. At least I know now that KFFH is ok, but so many others are not. I have spent hours watching the news, and everyday it is worse than the day before. And I am sad.

“Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again…
Wake me up when September ends”

America, my prayers are with you.
