Been kind of busy this past week that's the reason for not posting.
Today my wife and I are going to the Yankee Game tonight. It can be a history game if Derek Jeter hits I believe 4 runs to break Lou Gehrig's record.
I'm a big Met fan but being from NY I have love for ALL NY teams!
Also this coming Friday 9/11 Jay-Z is having a concert at Madison Square Gardens and guess what bitches we have tickets!!!
For those that don't have tickets it is going to be shown LIVE on Fuse.tv
It is going to be a BIG event, it is a benefit concert for all the 9/11 first responders and the lives that were lost and effected from that terrible act.
In a way I am happy to be going because it is Jay-Z and there's word that Beyonce is going to be there as well as Kanye West, Rihanna and maybe a few other top hitters!
In a way it is a sad moment because of what the concert is for.
Last night The National Geographic Channel had a 2hour documentary on 9/11 the recordings from the scumbags who hijacked the airplane and people who were calling their loved ones because they knew they were going to die.
Also watching the footage of the people who jumped from the Trade center makes me cry just thinking of it.
It is a day I will NEVER forget, I remember where I was, what I was doing and I also remember watching people coming over the Brooklyn Bridge cover in ash.
The looks they had on their faces were as if they were zombies and they haven't even taken in everything they had seen in the past few hours.
I'm sure being a New Yorker makes me feel it, but ANY human with half a heart feels the pain of that day.
I can not believe that it is going to be 8 years since it has happened, feels like it was yesterday, to me anyways.
With all that being said I think if you blog you should just write a little something paying respects to the people who lost their lives as well as all the families and people that have been effected from this.
Maybe a blog on where you were and what you remember from that day?
Other then that I am looking forward to our 2 events this week and hope everyone has a good one!
Stay Up!

I will be out of town on 9-11 and my computer access will be spotty..but that is a cool idea.
Like most every American I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. I remember my first reaction was to call my mother. She was no where near New York, but no one was sure what was going on at first.
I bet the sorrow in New York city was palpable.
I was with my mother at the psychiatric hospital when 9/11 occurred. I couldn't believe what was happening when I saw the TV in the waiting area. It was horrible. The video here is chilling even with the angels. I can't imagine the horror of those who jumped or were burned alive.
sKILLz,
Have fun! Yo to the wife and dogz.

I was on a ferry, crossing the English Channel when I heard about the attacks.
The day had been pretty bad already, before I heard about the 9/11 attacks.I'd been staying with a friend in London in a "council flat"--a public housing project. Early that morning, we woke to unearthly screams; a guy was beaten nearly to death in the courtyard of. Supposedly connected to a drug deal. We'd planned to visit friends in Normandy, so we trudged past the police, caught a train to the coast, then a ferry to cross the channel.
I went up to the bar for some tea, and the man there said, "Are you American? Have you heard?" and I was like, "heard what?" and he said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, it's terrible, I'm sorry."
It was interesting to be in another country at that time. The shock and sorrow was everywhere. People were sincerely sympathetic in both France and England, even folks who ordinarily are not very friendly to America. When we got back to London in a few days, the Firefighters' Monument in London was surrounded by flowers and notes in tribute to the NYFD. It made me cry.
It was such a horrible shock to all the world. But how unimaginable--the grief and horror that must've been felt (and still is felt) by those who lost someone in the attacks, those who were injured or survived, and pretty much every New Yorker.
sKILLz,
I posted something for you over at Sarcastic Bastard.
Love,
SB
