I’m just gonna go around randomly offering $5K to people for them to do what I want with no intention or plan of actually paying them. I think it’s a great concept and should work out without any issues.

#NeverForget
     On 9/11/2001, I was a junior in college studying fine arts. I had already worked as a firefighter, cop, and E.M.T., but I saw these as just hobbies, a way to expand my horizons. Instead, I planned on a career in the arts. After the attacks, our economy suffered, and jobs in fine arts were difficult to find. I was forced to reassess my career ambitions, and I started down a different path.
    Al Qaeda’s goal with the attacks was to get us to change our way of life. For me, it worked. After 9/11, I discovered that I was not meant to be an artist, but to be a physician. I became an Army doctor and served my country. I continue to serve my community through medicine and the arts. It’s the best way that I can honor the victims who lost their lives twenty-five years ago, and it has given me a truly fulfilled life.
    All those who lost loved ones on 9/11 have my prayers and condolences. Still, it’s a day from which I, personally, derive strength. It is the day that I began to discover who I am and how I should live my life. I’ve found that, through adversity, I am stronger. This is a trait that Americans possess as a whole, and it will serve us well again soon.

Please, never forget.

Hot take for the day: All of Michael Jackson’s hits should be redone by new artists. Some laud him but the guy was creepy & weird. He also had some concerning accusations thrown at him. But, mostly, I’m tired of hearing the same songs for decades now. Don’t you all want to hear something new?
