so i guess everybody heard that London was attacked by terrorists.
London.
i'm just in so much shock, i can't believe it has happend. its just insane, you know? two weeks ago we were riding that same train on King's Cross. i just cant believe it. there is nothing, NOTHING, worse than being woken up at 6.40 am in a hotel room with your sister saying "wake up, london was bombed in a terrorist attack." those last seven words hit me like a ton of bricks. sitting there with my family watching places that we've grown up in in ruins. police helping frantic people, doctors desperately trying to preserve lives. its just terrible. and the worst thing is, i cant do anything about it. last night i sat in the hotel and cried, watching an 11 year old boy in a Man-U shirt being pulled away on a stretcher, that number 30 double-decker bus in ruins, hearing stories of people underground on the trains, breaking glass with their bare hands trying to get oxygen. all those poor, dead souls. and Blair as well. just a day before everyone was flipping out becuase london had got the 2012 olympics!!! and now there's just a nightmare of screaming and tears, instead of laughter and happiness. i guess everyone was waiting for london to be attacked sometime after 9-11, i know i was, but..i don't even know kids. more than 50 dead. seven hundred wounded. and it was all underground. that made it about 10 times worse. can you imagine all of that in the dark? i dunno, but i sure can. its just...terrible. i don't even know what to say. i know they'll remain strong, and show those terrorists that they are not afraid, but its just not fair of them to victimize poor, innocent people. ESPECIALLY when the G-8 summit just met to help the world's poorest. it just makes me sick to my stomach. none of my family was in any of the bombings, thank the Lord, but my mate Chris' dad goes to work via King's Cross everyday, and we haven't heard anything from him.
Dear God,
please stop the terrorists, and give the world leaders the strength and courage to help stop their actions and world hunger and so on.


i've never written my deepest feelings like this on livejournal before.
i just hope those people had the decency to make it a suicide bomb.
