Was down in Florida for a family reunion. My brother woke me up before the second plane hit and I watched that thing come out the side of the screen. That was the visual today that made me remember. I remember that exact Frozen second of that thing appearing. I can't imagine not seeing it live. It was the only way to experience it.
Then Air Force One took off right next to us. It was really weird. We spent the day in an air airport and there's a lot of machine guns around, no flights. Somebody was buying a moving truck so we rode home in the pitch black back of it. I got home and all the puppies were dead. They had gotten sick. They were all over the place. a really really weird time. My band name at the time was spin laden. I didnt know what a bin laden was. On 9/10/01 i wrote a page called New Century America. All of this contributed to solipsism. I felt maybe i was dreaming.
I moved to New York City a year and a half later and it was still a pit. The cross was still standing and everything. Chuck what's his name wrote a book claiming that the Kid A album matched the events of 9/11. So I started listening to that album as if it represented that day.
Either way all I know is I stayed messed up until at least 2008. I remember still being messed up about it during that year.
Was watching a video about the shit show at Newark airport and a beaner was interviewed that expressed concern that because her flight was delayed she may have difficulty on the connection flight because Real ID was coming into effect today.
