Sorry I haven't called anybody but I don't really want to talk about anything. The past day things are really startin to process as far as what happened and whats gona happen. Part of me wants to get the hell out of NY for even just a couple days but I think if I was any place other than here all I would want to do is get back. I have been on bucket bergade a couple times. When your there in the mess you don't want to leave but they allow 11hr shifts. Then when you get home you don't want to go back, but you can't sleep and all you do is watch it on TV. Then you feel guilty and thats the only place that you feel you should be. Especially once you've been there and witnessed it. I know you guys see the shit on TV but like say on the news it really doesn't do it justice. People here feel pretty helpless because you feel like at anytime somethin else is gona happen. In one day we had over 90 bomb threats. Grand Central, Penn Station and Macy's were all evacuated around the same time. A big fear people have now is once we do go after these fuckers that chemical warfare could become a reality any day, which is a fucked up feelin, especially when your in the subway. The smell is starting to get pretty unbearable even if your 80 blocks away you can still smell it. Even with your windows shut. Two nights ago a bunch of us got together at Jake's, a bar we hang out at and at around midnight the manhole covers started exploding all the way up Amsterdam Ave. right outside the bar with blue flames shootin out of the street... I guess a gas main blew. Everybody was evacuated. Its like we can't even sit in our fucking bar, chill out and have a drink, and thats the only place your gona get any type of comfort. You go fucking crazy sittin home which is where I have been since yesterday. But its impossible right now to go back to a normal life. There is also a serious back lash towards anybody who resembles a Muslim... My buddy Rich lives in Queens, a block from Little Arabia, and they are on the brink of rioting against these people. Two days ago a cab driver was chased down the street... he hopped back in his cab and blew through a red light to get away and went head on into a service truck. I hate to say it, I know its wrong and I don't agree with it but I can understand the hate people are feeling. Aside from that people are really pullin together just like they are there. In order to volunteer you have to wait in a line that has to be at least a quarter of a mile, and there are volunteer stations all over the place. Whats so amazing to me is all the types and ages of people in these lines who have been down there already or on there way for the first time knowing, or not knowing that what they are about to see and do is gona change them for the rest of there life. As we know shit is gona get a hell of a lot worse, this is nothing compared to whats commin. I'm not tryin to be dramatic but when I hear people sayin we have to stop this vengeful type of thinking it makes me sick. Thats why we are in this mess now. I think people should watch every image on TV as gruesome as it gets and take it all in because when the shit goes down and we go after these fuckers I hope it will make people understand a little better that we had no other choice.
