blather
roll_call
nocturnal alright, I know I never come around here anymore, but I just wanted to make sure all my dear blatherskites are otay. I'm not sure how many of you were anywhere near all that shit today, so I just wanted to check to see if you were all alive and well. 010911

dB Hi Noc'. All is well aside from the obvious problems in the US right now.
I think most are present and accounted for.

Aimee I'm here! 010911

Dafremen Yo... I'm busy trying to say "listen..this is what I was trying to say" without sounding like I'm saying "I told you so."

But I'm still doing it in one piece...so that's a good thing.

(What's really annoying is how many of the guesses I made right after I watched the second plane hit live are being confirmed by the experts. The whole day is nothing I didn't expect and I'd like to suggest that you all get ready for a really wild ride. If we come out of this ok...we should all be better people for the trip. Oh...and I'm buying you all a beer after this sh*t is through...even you minors(tell yer parents they're welcome to join us in our toast to life and they shouldn't complain too loudly.)

Dafremen P.S. I would like to qualify that last statement by stating that I was SHOCKED by what I saw...I wasn't shocked by all of the subsequent "revelations" by the experts as they scrambled to look intelligent in their coverage of this horrible, horrible tragedy. (I had to go home today...I was falling with those people all day. I've also crashed into that building at least 20 times today...twice as the terrorist. It was horrifying. It was tearing me up and I couldn't do my job so I left. It's not over people...not by a long shot...this is only the beginning of very trying times for all of us, but I have faith that we will come out alright. I wish I could tell you that I was sure...but I can't, even though it would make me feel better too.) 010911

kingsuperspecial well, I'm not sure I would qualify as someone who noc holds dear, but I'm way out in San Francisco, and I'm okay, and everyone I know is okay and the people I now in NY are okay and even friends that have friends in NY say those friends are okay, but those people have friends that died - three layers of separation - that's a little close for comfort, and it ain't over yet.

I think I'm going to head off to a candle light vigil, or maybe a church, or to give blood, or something. The mean dirty munkees of earth owe some kind of giant karmic apology to whatever is out holdind our atoms together, because right now we're looking pretty bad for letting things get to a state were something like this could happen.

Dafremen It's too bad that so many people had to die in order for me to finally rest my case about how wonderful life truly is.

We must devote our time to improving the quality of our relationships with the living. Not dwelling on the dead. Honor the dead, bury them and make sure that their deaths were not in vain. We have a responsibility to those who live now. Let's hope that in our pursuit of vengeance, however justified, we do not condemn the living to the fate of those whom we mourn today.

DannyH On a different continent, as you know, but not on the same world I was on yesterday morning.
Spent all day in front of the TV on my own watching the same piece of film over and over again, feeling the earth changing shape beneath my feet.

I miss you Liz, why'd you go away?
