Six Years Since 9/11

[innerSpaceman]

Not to speak for him, but zapppop is loathe to talk about 9/11. He says it's because he's sick of hearing about it (and I don't doubt that's true), but I think there may be something deeper to it.

I remember taking him to see United 93 and being angry at him for playing video games on his cell phone thru the whole movie. So he confessed to me that, as well as his famous phonographic memory, he also has a photographic memory with little control over the replay of disturbing imagery. And he did not want to watch United 93. He'll watch gory horror films, so I think he classifies 9/11 as disturbing as well as tiresome.


But he's not reluctant to make light of the event with tasteless t-shirts.

I am in the same boat as Zap on this. A little overexposure and a lot of disturbance.
