Miss Regina Spektor sent this to everyone on her mailing list. I thought it to be appropriate to post. I also can not spell. Regaurdless, here it is... ------------------------------------------------------------ My dear friends, especially my wonderful people in England... I am so saddened that the great city of London has suffered these many losses earlier today. Because i don't own a television i didn't even know about the terrorist acts until i got to NBC to tape a late night show... What a horror to find out... It is surreal to me,that some people can choose for their life's work to be ending other peoples lives...It seems absolutely incomprehensible... London is like another home for me, having lived there during University time, and touring there quite often... I am worried about my friends... I am worried about my strangers, whom i've never met, and who are in pain... And I am worried about a world, which deserves better... and can do better... and mustdo better sometime soon... Another home for me is Israel, which suffers from terrorism mercilessly... When my friends who live there try to explain their state of mind, it is both frightening, and inspiring... The strength, to stay open and hopeful when everything around you is so unpredictable and cruel, is one of the strongest things we have... Please be safe and take care of yourselves and those around you. I feel that it is all of our job to stay open and free and strong in a time which screams for fear, anger, and desperation... All the love i have goes out to the victims and their families, in London, and in the numerous parts of the world that have been victimized by terrorism... and there are many... but there is also a lot of peace in the world too, let's hope for more... with deepest condolences, regina ---------------------------------------------------- Michigan is beautiful. My friends were phenomenal. I am now with my family, they are amazing as well. My Papu (grandpa) died on Saturday, the wake is today and tomorrow is the funeral. (he is not my blood grandfather, he is like my grandfather-in-law, but he's more of a grandfather to me than i ever had.) It has made things go very differently and it's all, for lack of a better term, sad. But we're doing the best we can with it. It was his time. I half miss Arizona, but only due to my red neck family, but they all left last night. There is no culture here and i love it? haha.
