Now this blog is going to be a long one, but you'll flip out about what i'm about to tell ya...but i remember i was in Chesapeake, VA on September the 11th of 2001, and i worked for a music store. I came into work that morning and the place was empty, not an employee on the floor, and nobody in there, and i was like going "where the hell is everyone at" so i walked into the back. Everyone was glued to the TV watching the news. And right as one of my best friends told me that one of the twin towers was hit, i turned and looked at the TV, and right then right there, THE SECOND hit, by the plane came to the second tower. I remembered it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop in the entire room. What's so strange about this whole event was it was on a Tuesday, a day in which new releases of music came out. The irony of this whole thing is two CD's came out that freaked me out. The first one was Slayer's "God Hate's Us All", and to make things all worse than that, this band by the name of Dream Theater came out with "Live from New York" and the funny thing/but not so funny thing about that album was on every Dream Theater CD their logo is of a burning heart with barbed-wire wrapped around the heart. But on this CD, there was an apple instead of the heart surrounded by barbed wire, and on top of the apple was the New York Skyline and yes it was on fire. NOW ISN'T THAT FREAKY? Well of course they pulled those CD's off the shelf right then right there.
On another note, i personally will NEVER forget that day or the people that lost their lives, the police and fire-fighters who bravely lost their lives in persuit of trying to save the lives of totally innocent American's. I'm a military man, and i belive in our troops, whether it be by land or by sea. Well all need to be supportive and love all AMERICAN'S far and abroad.
Much Love to the people that read this, and the 9/11 family and friends who's lives were changed on this date. You will always be in my heart forever.
Best Regards,
Derek
