10 years ago.

I was unemployed. I had heard back from my current job, and I would start it in November.
I was at my parents house, and watching TV. I think, we probably, just watched neighbors and had some sort of lunch. Than, the BBC showed the footage, of the Towers. My mother than called, in tears, she had seen it work, and announced the Palestinians had done it. I had thought at the time, Who was mum talking too. My sister started to cry, about, some cousin of her friends, who was in New York. To be honest, I was kind of annoyed with my sister. Than the second plane hit the towers.

I'd been to the towers, in 1997. I'd been with my Cousin, when I stayed with him, in 1997, over Christmas. We went up, and went down. I took a picture on top

I was at home too. I was doing supply work. I had also just finished watching Neighbours but had gone upstairs to watch Doctors as mum hated it. She called me to come down and "see this", she had no idea what she was watching. We both just sat and watched in open mouthed horror. Then Xavier phoned from Holland.
Emma and I were in both towers in December 2000.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
