I don't really know what to say on this subject. I'mstill here in nyc, drunk as I was on this day 2 years ago...I opened the bar that day, cause I knew my friends would need a place to drink while they waited to hear the news about their loved ones. Everyone I know here was either drunk or on search rescue recovery crew. I was at least able to provide liquor for those of us that needed it, and ice for the crews.
I'm gonna end it at that, 'cos I could go on for awhile, about politics, media, etc, but I really don't want to because it wouldn't serve any purpose.
Sorry to those of you who have also lost someone.

My man/woman, it's all good. Our club, and I, lost a friend that day.

I have my own opinions on what happened and who should we blame, but as I've said many a time, politics has no place on a drunkening board. Besides, politics only serves to piss us all off and I am become happiness and shit.

Didn't see you were an NYC folk - I'm in NJ (duh) and mayhaps you can share with me the establishemtnt...or something, of your choice and oine day I can join you in a alcoholic salute to the fallen.

Hell, any excuse to meet up with an MDM kindred is worthwhile!

Damn, I knew there was a reason I liked this board so well. The drunkenne - I mean, the lack of politics!

My boy-at-the-time's mother escaped from the 44th floor of...tower two, I think it was? The one that went down second. They thought she was dead for about six hours, since she couldn't call and she had to walk home to Queens. I had fallen in love with the city the first time I saw it. Maybe I have no license to say so, but it got to me, even from 3,000 miles away. I still get panicky (as in, preludes to a panic attack) when a plane flies too low over Disneyland. I still think it will happen again, and I've got way too much to lose concentrated in such a small area...

Terrorism is like the lottery, only more so, (considering you have more of a chance to win the lottery then you do being a victim of terrorism. ) It's going to happen to somebody, but it probably aint going to be you. (You, in the general sense of coarse.)

Oh, I would agree, if I worked for Joe Schmoe incorporated.

Okay I didn't read the new posts, but yahhhh...

I went to pick up my friends in from Hamburg. Wore my sleevless turbo vest. Dammit no sooner than those automated doors swung open did it reoccur to me I have an NYC tattoo on my arm. With a sizable abrasion on the shoulder. :(

And if that's not enough, I'm limping around BECAUSE OF THE SPLIT SOLE IN MY BOOT THAT I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHEN 3 DAYS AGO I TOOK THOSE FUCKERS OUT OF RETIREMENT, WONDERING WHY I'D EVER TUCKED THEM AWAY!!!????!???? Duhr. I thought I'd fixed the problem with superglue, which just glistens under the glaring lights of the airport...

Hey politics aside, I love airports, travel and the exchange of ideas. It pisses me off that I saw all these folks, I am not sure yet if I'm a dyed in the wool misanthroope but I try my best, just thinkin...
All these folks, happy to hug their loved ones, etc, had they been on a flight 2 years ago they coulda been so... dead.

Then again I think those same thoughts about the children and adults in Iraq.

Stalin said, "Kill one man and you create a martyr. Kill a million and you create a statistic." 3,016 . . . it's just a number. But that's how many people died September 11, 2001. 3,016 husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends; and Jean was one of them. I remember sitting at home staring at the TV on the morning of September 11th, CNN was running a ticker with the names and ages of all the passengers on the planes that had crashed and I saw the name of Dana Falkenburg, age 3 who was on Flight 77. I never met Dana but just the idea that some little girl had died in such a way was what finally caused me to break down.
When I remember September 11th I don't think of how many people were killed or how to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I think of Dana Falkenburg, and mourn her.

I join you. Dana Falkenburg, Jean, and Andrew Jordan.

Body piercings are even more of a Scheisserei.

My last words on the subject:
No sense to worry about terrorism, worry doesn't prevent it, but it will fuck up your day. When we had the bl;ackout in NYC a few weeks ago, we could have all panicked, but at least in my neighborhood, it was a big street party-everyone laughed and draank and made the best of it. Much more enjoyable than panicking.
I had one other point to make, but I forgot it, which works because I don't want to talk about it anymore, I'm drunk and I'll start proselytizing.
