I just realized I'm desensitized as fuck. The other day, on the cover of the paper, there were pictures of firemen who died in a fire around here and everyone got all emotional and a few people started crying about how young they were, the youngest being 23 I think, while I found myself saying, "So what?" in my head.

Now, I don't neccessarily like the fact that I don't give a fuck anymore, but I don't understand how people can cry about a few fireman who KNOW the type of danger that they will get themselves into die, but casually pass a story about a 19 year old (sometimes even younger) that lands on page 7 of the local section. Maybe it's just the fact that people are such hypocrites, I don't know.

I was kind of the same way about 9/11. I mean, yeah what happened was horrible, but don't terrorist attacks happen all the fucking time? So why should I throw a flag on my fucking car just cuz it happened to us this time? Why do I have to act patriotic for a few months because we ONLY give a fuck about ourselves? I didn't cry on 9/11, as a matter of fact, I came home from school after hearing about it all day and got mad because MTV wasn't playing any videos.

Now call me a piece of shit, but I know a few people here know what the fuck I'm talking about. =/
