Gravity Rides Everything

This weekend was fairly good. September 11th is still mind blowing to think about even three years later. The footage of the planes hitting the buildings is still surreal to see. I only know people who know people who were in the towers that day so I can only imagine what hey felt, but I only remember being a little in denial when the planes first hit because you never think of something like that happening. It wasn't until the buildings went down that it seemed much more real. I guess that the denial came from the fact that the buildings had survived an attack before so I thought that they would at least stay standing.

I don't think that there's a good way to go from that to my weekend, but my weekend was mostly spent with friends, which was made the weekend good. I also got a call from my bank saying that there was a bunch of charges on my credit card for over a couple hundred dollars in one day at stores really far away from my apartment so I had to cancel that account. That was the big news from the weekend.

I wear my sunglasses at night

Last night I got a chance to see an 80's music cover band. When the band stepped on stage it really was almost a flashback as they walked onto the stage in shirts with the sleaves cut off, and thin ties. I've always been a pretty big fan of 80's music, but I never saw any of the bands from then live so it was fun to see a concert where they played almost all of my favorite 80's songs. I'm not sure if I really have just one favorite. If I did just have to pick just one I would have to say that I would probably have to say that Duran Duran is probably my favorite because I think that their videos are the ultimate example of what I remember 80's music videos looking like with wind effects and slow motion. My favorite video of theirs is Hungry like the Wolf, but my favorite song overall is Union of the Snake.

Nothing else too exciting to report. I saw the movie Garden State also last weekend, but I don't want to review it or spoil it for anyone who wants to see it but hasn't yet.
