BLURRED SWEET STREETLIGHTS SPEEDING PAST, FAST
a local gaming forum tipped me off that 9/11 was happening, i distinctly recall reading a thread titled "A SECOND PLANE JUST HIT!!!!!! KAMIKAZE CUNTS!!!!!!"

i turned on the TV about 5 minutes before tower 1 fell, mum came out to yell at me cos it was midnight/1am but I just pointed at what was happening and she went back to bed


riding the train to college the next day was super eerie cos its all anyone wanted to talk about but we were all polite strangers on a train so everyone was just exchanging funny glances

BWI Airport is the only airport in the county with a direct link to nationwide rail service, isn't Baltimore great?

nah, if BWI counts than Newark International definitely counts.

BWI has a shuttle bus from the terminals to the BWI station on the northeast corridor, newark has a people mover from the terminals to the newark international station on the northeast corridor

Lipstick Apathy

quote:

Patrick Cloutier of Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis, Quebec was a 19-year-old private with the Royal 22e Régiment of the Canadian Forces at the time. After the photo was published, he was heralded as a Canadian hero.[5] The Globe and Mail even compared Cloutier to "the man who stared down a Red Army tank in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square last year."[5] Quebec media emphasized Cloutier's "Quebecois roots", and La Presse described him as "the little soldier staring unblinkingly at the angry Warrior."

Later that year Cloutier was granted an "accelerated promotion" to master corporal,.[6] In May 1992, he was demoted to private again and served 45 days in an Edmonton military prison for cocaine use.[7]

Cloutier served the Canadian military again in Bosnia, and upon his return, many of his friends from the service committed suicide.[2] He was discharged on December 9, 1993 after being found guilty of impaired driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and causing bodily harm.[1][5][8] Cloutier was convicted of ramming a double-parked car, injuring its two occupants and a 16-year-old passenger in Cloutier's own vehicle.[8] In 1995, he appeared in a pornographic film, Quebec Sexy Girls II: The Confrontation, which specifically parodied the events at Oka.[5][9] As of 2015, he was working for the Canadian Coast Guard, spending a great deal of time on board the CCGS Amundsen.[1][2]

Cloutier would later insist that he had never supported the original cause of the conflict: a golf course. On the contrary, said Cloutier, "J’étais pour les Indiens ! Je passe beaucoup de temps au Nunavut et les Premières Nations, c’est mon peuple préféré." (I was for the Indians! I spent a lot of time in Nunavut and with First Nations, they're my favourite people.)[2]
