I just want to take a minute to acknowledge what took place at the 117th running of Boston Marathon. This has always been my city and I am incredibly proud of the awesome people that inhabit this equally awesome place. We're Bostonians and we stick together. We're loyal to one another, we stand strong and support each other through thick and thin. We are an incredibly unique city in the sense that we are more of a tight-knit community. This is a small city but, also a significant one. We come from all walks of life and together we create the diversity that makes Boston so fucking great. I had many members of my family there -- cheering on one of my cousins running the race in memory of her deceased mom. Luckily all of them are safe and unharmed. Pray for my city dudes, for all those that were affected by this horrific act of violence.
Soundtrack.
good to know you and your family are safe bud
ReplyDeleteThanks man. It has been a crazy week in Boston that's for sure.
Deleteglad to hear yours are alright. i hope the criminals who did this are found and caught.
ReplyDeleteThankfully they did. One's dead and the other was found alive. Who knows if this goes any deeper and we hope it doesn't.
DeleteAs the President said today, the perpetrators picked on the wrong city. I also have to acknowledge that it brought me to tears when I heard that "Sweet Caroline" had been played in tribute to Boston at Yankee Stadium and other major league parks. There is some great good that comes out of even the most evil corners!
ReplyDeleteI know dude, that was awesome. Being born a Bostonian, one can't help but love that song! It runs through our veins. You are right though, we have seen a tremendous amount of good through all of this. As awful as these things can be, they really restore faith in the love we have for one another as human beings.
