got home late ,mum was sitting down in the lounge ,and she told me a best friend from sydney called and said that the towers had been bombed or something like that ,i laughed and shrugged it of as a joke as there was nothing on tv at that time in perth,then about an hour later i saw what was to be all that was on tv for the next couple of days, i couldnt sleep,felt sick and didnt know what to do,so i grabed my drum and went for a walk down to the local beach ,i played my drum constant for about 3 hours and watched the sun come up behind me all the way experiencing title waves of emotion black holes of thought and a contant thought of helplessness for the people so far away ,where do i stand in all this mess i kept asking myself ,is it my fault?why did this happen ,is this happening?as the next day unfolded these thoughts just kept getting stronger and stronger as the different footages of the collapse and incidents at the pentagon and other hijackings came to view,WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?even to this day i feel pain where normally i feel pain when someone i love hurts me, because of this day
