• The 2001 Trenchie Awards

    For the first time and probably the last I bring you the Trenchie Awards. The best and worst of my year. Best movie of the year: Stigmata. I know it didn’t come out this year but I saw it this year so it counts. Honorable Mention: Memento. Worst movie of the year: American Psycho. One…


  • Nightmare

    I almost forgot to mention this. I had a really bad dream last night. I dreamt that there was another planned terrorist attack and I found out about it but couldn’t stop it in time. My wife says I have to stop carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I hope it’s not…


  • Get A Grip

    Ok people. We as a nation need to seriously calm down. I heard a report on NPR that hate crimes against Muslims living in America are up 40% since the attack on the WTC. Get a grip, people. I decided to do some research on Islam to see what its teachings were and I came…


  • My day on 9/11

    “These acts shattered steel but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve” —President George W. Bush When I woke up on the day of September 11, 2001, it was just another day. I was actually in a pretty good mood for once. It was a clear sunny day here in North Carolina. The temperature…


  • More Thoughts on 9/11

I did finally break down on the drive home from work. My wife noted that how eerie it is not to see any planes in the…


  • WTC VII

    I found an article at CNN about the timeline of the attacks which can be found by clicking here.


  • WTC VI

    Just some questions. What if this was only the first phase? Could it be possible the terrorists were domestic terrorists? How were the planes hijacked? What was in the part of the Pentagon that was attacked? How will this affect the economy? I guess the terrorists or whoever got what they want. The country has…


  • WTC V

    I just heard a report on NPR from one of the triage sites in NY that the walking wounded are being ignored and those that are close to death. That’s horrible but I imagine they have to with as many wounded they must have and the limited resources they’re working with. I also heard that…
