HIPSTER RUNOFF

HIPSTER RUNOFF: AN AMERICAN BLOG

Every one remembers the day the towers came down. On that day, every one in the world felt more American than they had ever felt. Whether you were a kid who lived in suburbia, or some one from the North Eastern United States, you will never forget September 11, 2001.

We all have a personal story, and a connection with 9-11. We all have our own coping mechanism which helps us move forward. Some people 'make 9-11 towers falling jokes' to hide their pain, and others are more directly vulnerable in a traditional way.

How do u deal with tragedies on a personal and global scale?

Who is the real person inside of u?
