Rock-climbing is fast becoming my new favourite sport.

and this is why I love history.

“History is no longer told by just a select few,” says Tom Scheinfeldt, assistant director of the Center for History and New Media. “In what has become a growing trend, actual eyewitnesses to earth-changing events are now able to add their reflections, through digital archiving, to the historical record. The Sept. 11 Digital Archive is a big part of this effort.”

History is not JUST history any longer. It's not confined to long endless volumes of dust-covered books, neither is it about the old, wrinkly historian with his harry-potter glasses bent over an oak bench. It's about actual records. Feelings, emotions, recounts in real time. The future is changing, but so is history.

Today, we should remember those lost on September 11, even if, it's just for the sole reason that they did so innocently, or even for those who died, trying to save the others. Or even those who died because we forget with the passing of time to do things that are important.

We really do plan to annihilate our own race huh?!

With one just touch love can conquer all fears
Turning all your tears into smiles

Coz' i stil believe in destiny
That you and I were meant to be
I still wish on the stars as they fall from above
Coz' I still believe in love
