Let me tell you something that I realized today.
I am a little sad and annoyed that the world is a very noisy place.

Let's take a look at my day today...
First, Tracy was awoken by a buzzing alarm clock.
My alarm is the construction in our building, pretty much starts around 7 AM.
Rush hour kicks in at 7:30 til just about 9.
Living downtown has its toll.
Horns, engines, and squeaking breaks screaming at you non stop.
My microwave beeping that my meal is done.

Anyways....I pop in the KISS MTV UNPLUGGED video.
Hey, I am still on vacation.... so I can do whatever I please....
(I just make sure the dishes are done when Tracy gets home)

I was never much of a KISS fan, but thanks to Sylvain,
the same guy who got me into Dream Theater, lent me this video.

KISS? Unplugged?
I didn't think it was going to be as wicked as when I saw them in concert.
It started pretty simple with the song Comin' Home.
I was fine, just sipping my coffee, enjoying the show....
but when the song Domino came up, (which is now my favorite KISS song by the way)
I am so "in" BABY!!!.
I picked up my guitar, jamming with the best ....
Then the whole family came on stage...along with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
It just totally brought the house down.
You could just see how not only the audience are having a great time,
but the band themselves are in the height of enjoyment.

As they sang their finale - Rock and Roll all night, Every KISS's fan's anthem,
I was jamming along ...enjoying the catchy rhythm,
I suddenly heard some cool banging tune (in the key of "G"),
synchronized with Peter Criss's Bass drum.
I stopped, trying to figure out what the hell he is banging on stage.

Then it hit me,
I muted the TV..... And the banging drums is coming from the construction outside.
I guess they are just hurrying for lunch break and they all wanted to get things done.

In conclusion, this is now what I realized.
The world may be a noisy place. But once everything gets synchronized,
with all the melodies and notes, We all live in one big musical rhythm.

Now I know why MUSIC is the universal language.
Well...that and SEX.

Today starts my 2 weeks Vacation.
To be honest, I have no clue on what to do.
Since the Sept. 11 tragedy, I have not been in the best of moods.
I don't think anybody was or still is.

So I did some thinking.

I thought about how it amazes me what people do to each other and themselves.
Why would anybody have the guts to cause harm to somebody else?
Why would someone choose to be a terrorist?
I mean c'mon! Honestly!
Do they wake up one morning, sip their coffee,
and say, "Yup! I have decided to be a terrorist.
I want to strap high explosives onto myself, scare the living daylights out of everybody,
kill them and me."

Holy crap!!..I guess now that Hitler and Napoleon are dead,
there is a good demand for terrorists and killers huh?

Why not choose a different career?
Work in a restaurant.
Teach kids how to spell.
Work in a car wash.
Whatever....

Then I realized..
I know why these people do it.
To them, they are regarded as nobles or heroes in their religion and tradition
if they destroy anybody who does not do what they do, believe in what they believe,
and think the way they do.

Well let me tell you this.
I do not know what planet or place that belief came from,
but in my world,
These are the true heroes. Hero 1. Hero 2.

Still in shock.
Two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre twin towers,
one into the Pentagon, and one just Outside Pittsburgh, PA.

What can you do?…What do you say? Can you just imagine the height of anger and grief?
How could someone have the audacity to do this to humankind?

Before I say what’s on my mind,
please say a prayer for the innocent victims and their loved ones.

“Eternal rest, grant unto them O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon them”

Now. My turn.
Telephone ringing.
I wake up .... My brother yelling,

”Are you watching the news!?”

I was like, ”Yeah yeah I know....Michael Jordan is back!”

He said....
"NO!! Terrorism in New York!!”

I turned my TV on.
And the World Trade Center’s sister building is missing.
Freakin’ smoke surrounding the tower!.
What the fuck happened??
And how come BIN LADEN, the ass licker terrorist, is on my number 1 suspect list?

Humourly I asked my brother,
"Now that one of the Pentagon’s side collapsed..
Would they call it “The Square?”

Then it happened..

I saw the other tower collapse. I am witnessing death as it happens.
Thousands of lives trapped.
So much anger. So much pain.

I know as of this time…(7:04 PM), there is still no word on who the fucker is.
The news media is trying to be “Politically Correct”, making sure no one would be offended.

I don’t care!! Whoever you are or whoever is involved....
What are you trying to prove you Motherfucker !!!???
First of all, You better take a fuckin’ shower because you stink!!!
And second of all, enough with this bullshit terrorizing and killing people.
You and me buddy.... hand to hand, old fashioned fist fight!!

WAIT!! make sure you shower first because I won’t be able to stand your stench!
I might have to throw the towel in.
SHIT!! I’ll just give you the towel, you can use it....My brother will provide the soap.

All you hear is the word “horrible attacks”, “cowards” and “how vulnerable we are”.
FUCK THAT!!
It’s time for someone to stand up and say,

“We know who the bastard was....and we will beat the shit out of them!”
“We will skin them alive, pour A1 sauce on them and feed them to New York rats and cockroaches!”

Anyways ...
Wherever you are, whoever you are.
I hope you are fucking happy, because once BUSH gets a hold of your fag-ly ass,
He will stab your pecker hole with his Texas bayonet!

I hope your children, and your children’s children
will feel what you have contributed to this world.

And lastly, You know what I am going to do?..
After I offer my prayers,
I will take my beautiful American girlfriend,
and go get us some McDonalds’ Burger meat! Super Size!!
and we will just enjoy our “FREEDOM”.
Something we know you don’t have.
