An Inappropriate Remembrance One Day Late
Mood:  sad
Topic: THE BLUES 911

I thought that posting anything on 911 is not going to be anything other than cheesy and false so anyway one day later when you put things in perspective this is how I seen it.....

1346 pm Ulster..I was just about to go to a job when I seen what I thought was a movie on TV..yeah well it's well documented .Al queda ..planes and Two big New York sky scrapers collapsing. I remember watching the DUST..It was like ticker tape only with the ashes of bodies floating in the sky.

All I can say is it reflected my life at the time..."IN FREE FALL" well the big sky scrapers that is.. my business and personal life collapsing and falling into a big pall of dust..liars and cheats in business and your  personal life are like modern terrorists without a bomb ..only its a dagger to your heart.

Life moved on and a few months later i watched the fine people of New York move on with their life and they gave me strength to go on and I think they saved my life. I will never be able to understand how they felt,at the time I felt I felt I'd lost my wife and my two girls but in all honesty I had lost my way.

 So today 2008 ,I look at life differently,not through blinkers and I celebrate that I am quite intelligent and not insular,infact I'd say I'm definitely quite a challenge to speak to. I'm quirky,insobordinate,sometimes offensive,articulate,historical,contravertial,moody,complicated,weird  but also loving,understanding ,authoritive,kind and fatherly. some people think I'm as mad as a hatter.

        "I'm proud to be an Ulsterman and I'll do you a good turn."

anyhow for my fellow American brothers click on this link as a tribute to the guys who fight hand to hand against the "filth of this world"
