Info to my contest here [link] Please take some time to read it!

So, I actually had a great time in the South on Sunday. I hadn't been there for 3 years and it's great to see a beautiful place like that not changing a bit since then(unlike the North where my uncles/cousins live, probably one of the reasons why I hate going there more and more, everything's becoming so superficial and fake there).
Went for a walk, since I couldn't take my bike, saw a wild rabbit and butterfly let itself get caught by me. I held her on my hand and she just starred at me for a while before taking flight and flying around me before disappearing. Ah, it feels almost magical to be there and makes me hate this stupid city life even more.
One day I'll live in an isolated place, only surrounded by Nature, that's my dream.

On another note, while we were traveling, there was this song that I had already listened so many times and loved playing in the radio, but never knew its name or artist. Today I searched a bit of the lyrics and it turned out being "Overcome" by Live. While searching I stumbled across many videos of September 11th made with that song playing along. I watched some and couldn't help but crying.

There's been like, almost 7 years? I still remember that day like if it happened today. Though I'm not American, I cried for the lives of those people who lost them in a supposed to be normal day at work. I prayed for their souls and for the souls of the brave brave BRAVE people that went there trying to save those lives.
I cannot imagine how the families of those people must have felt and it shocked me to see people throwing themselves off the windows. How desperate must you be to do something like that?(damn I'm starting to cry again)
I have a question, which none of you really has to answer, especially for my American friends/watchers, how did you feel when you saw that?
I was 10 years old by then and I remember that I was watching TV, thinking of what I wanted for my b-day that was coming in 9 days and then the program I was watching stopped and I heard the news, it was one of the most traumatizing things I ever saw when it comes to humanity. I just stayed there trying to figure out what was happening and it didn't take me too long to do so. And the first thing I thought of were the families of those people and that no human being has the right to take the life of others like that, especially innocent people.
And now everything comes down to the war in Iraq, don't even get me started...
I hadn't thought about this for quite a long time and seeing those videos was like living it all over again. The planes crashing against the towers, people jumping, people running in fear, the buildings on fire, the terror they must have felt, the people on those planes, those who suffered of heart attacks right there in the middle of the streets... It's devastating. There's just too much evil in this world...

This is getting long so I'll stop here.

My computer's been having problems with some virus that blocks my computer whenever the antivirus tries to remove it, even in Internet there's evil..

Well, see you around! If I don't show up, blame it on that stupid virus(or the bunch of tests I'm having).

I you guys!
