Because tomorrow is September 11th, the 10 year anniversary since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, I disregarded this trending topic thinking that it was just some stupid idiotic subject people felt it was funny to comment on while they were really being insensitive to the tragedy that had befallen our nation a decade ago. But despite all of that I clicked on the link anyway, because with twitter, I like to sometimes read the stupid things that people say. As I was reading, I discovered the meaning behind this trending topic was actually kind of neat. I came across this one girl who tweeted this:
Today is 9-10-11 .You won’t have a chance to say this again within your lifetime, so you might as well re-tweet it
@TheTumblrWorld The Tumblr World
Today is 9-10-11 , and this happens once in 853 years.. Pray for all those who lost their lives. RETWEET
I thought about it and decided to make a blog post about it. It's kind of neat that I get to experience the dates lining up in sequential order. Last year I got to experience 10-10-10, and come november, I'll get to experience 11-11-11. Also, neat//random date facts, this past summer, July 2011 had 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays in it. October will also have 5 full Saturdays and Sundays. This kind of thing only happens every 823 years and I get to experience it twice in one year. How neat is that?
So as far as this random trending topic goes, it actually makes me feel pretty significant. And I can also say, in the words of Peter Griffin, "I learned something today."
