My Blog Is Poop is not poop

Bob from BestWeekEver also has a personal blog called "My Blog Is Poop," and it's full of excellent mumbo-jumbo and tomfoolery, as well as some other stuff that is neither mumbo nor jumbo.

Yesterday he posted about "Pesonal 9/11s." What is a Personal 9/11, you might ask?
  • Right now you may be wondering what a personal 9/11 is. Maybe. However, if you've experienced one, you know. Everybody who's ever been in love... or more specifically, everybody who's ever loved and lost... has been through a personal 9/11. It's the moment when everything changes forever. The moment that there's no coming back from. The moment where you lose faith, you're hit hard and you're reeling. Wondering how you got to that point and what could possibly come next. It's the worst feeling in the world. Well, it's one of them.
He goes on to relate this to a personal experience with a woman--finding "the one" and spilling your guts out to her after the breakup--however I think a Personal 9/11 doesn't necessarily have to be about love. 9/11 was a moment when all of our preconceived notions about safety and security disappeared, so any particular bubble that bursts would be, I'd imagine, a personal 9/11. I'd share mine, but I don't put personal stuff online anymore. I just wanted to link to Poop's awesome post and maybe give the reader something to think about. Back to Robot Hand is the Future's regularly scheduled douchery.
