I will probably do my own personal moment of silence, but beyond that, we've been bombarded with the footage ever since it happened, so it almost seems anticlimactic to do it again on one specific day.
People who were personally touched by it will no doubt have more emotions involved than those of us who just watched it on television.
For those of us on the west coast and that haven't really seen the WTC towers in person, I don't think it quite set in the way it did with those who live in the NY/NJ area or who worked in the neighborhood or visitied quite often.
I really felt detached from it as I saw the first tower crumble live on CNN. It wasn't until they started doing the interviews with those searching for loved ones that it hit me...and even then, it didn't hit hard until I found out that a business colleague was killed in the towers...
I'll still always have a rememberance in my heart, but it'll be tougher to cough up emotion this time, sicne it's been pounded into our skulls since it happened.
I also swear I'm boycotting Entertainment Tonight...their bullshit "what are your favorite celebs thoughts on 9/11?" stories and bullshit...fuck them...
I don't give a shit what Gwynneth Paltrow thinks about Osama Bin Laden......
