Still remembe rmost of the details of my day like it was yesterday. Fortunatley no one I knew died that day but my sister was working in the trade center and got out well before the collapse.

I visited ground zero in 05. We were allowed access to the section where family and service members would leave small memorials. My buddy Steve left a dress hat. While we were near there, I saw a poem written on a wall of a nearby building. It choked me up pretty hard. I took a picture of it. Unfortunately it's on a broken laptop of mine.

I wish I could post it. As tough as I try to be, just remembering it right now has my eyes welling up. It was from a policeman or fireman to his fallen friends..

The daily news had a pic of a tattered flag that some fireman hung on some rigging that day. I think that was the most moving pic I had seen. Showed those fuckers that you could take your shots at us but were not going anywhere. I will see if I can find it.

the cleanup, heroes, memorial pics just desenitized the day for me. This is 9/11 to me with all the emotion of the day. All the anger and confusion for those that are now gone.

8 years ago today was my 9th wedding anniversary... Some anniversary date now... I don't feel right celebrating today anymore.

my day began in anger. They finally left enough of the free newspaper at the train station this morning and it didnt say a damn thing about what day it was on the cover. Two pages in they had a full page special about how badly weve treated muslims since. Fuck the metro

I purchased a 2000 Ninja EX500 8 years ago today. My first bike titled in my name.

I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard what was happening. All the media websites were overloaded so I ended up catching most of it from Howard Stern on the radio and Cycleforums.
