9-11-10

Everyone had somebody they thought they might lose that day. "was Anyone flying? Who do i know in NYC?" these thoughts raced through the head of an eighth grade boy trying to prove he was a man, but the anger and sadness flooded his mind breaking through that visage and presenting itself as droplets that rolled down his cheek. To this day the footage still cuts deep. To this day he would still stand to fight for the father who served in the navy the uncle who died in Vietnam the grandfather who fought in world war II and for the freedoms they represent. America is not perfect but that's only because  were the ones that make it up. God bless America ..... We need it

sometimes the things we fear

sometimes the things we fear become the last remaining pieces of who we were and sometimes those pieces become more beautiful and powerful than the fear ever could have been.
Eastern state penitentiary was designed to strike fear into the hearts of its inmates, and im sure at its height it did the job quite well. Now its remains, mark the end of an era. an era when vaulted ceilings hand crafted wood molding and artisan iron work were the norm, but those times are long gone.
