i miss traveling...

seeing new things each and every day...today i saw a backpacker on wall street, and thought, "i miss the days where each day was a new city, a new chance to explore, new people..."

later i walked up to cortlandt st to get my mum her mother's day gift and i saw a fucking tourist smiling having someone take a photo of themself in front of the world trade centre. that made me so fucking angry. i'm not ready to let the site of a massacre be a photo opp. how insensitive.

WELCOME TO REALITY, CIRCA 2001.

Where have you been? How stupid of you to think that people haven't been doing that since it happened! The city makes so much money selling 9/11 tourist crap!!!

yes, i know, the first time post 9/11 i saw some people selling photos, etc down at the wtc, i got so upset. i'm not stupid, i've seen it before and it pisses me off. but we can choose not to buy it and choose not to disrespect it.
