It was on this date 9 years ago...

...a woman from American Airlines called me and told me to keep my phone lines clear, she told me they had lost contact with several planes and did not know the condition or whereabouts of my wife, a flight attendant for the airline. After a total, constant and sickening panic for 7 hours, a strange calmness fell over me and I realized life is too short and I should try harder to be happy, so I set in motion plans for my divorce.


Some will tell you they can't believe it was only nine years ago, but to me, it seems a lifetime away.


I was a different person then. In many ways I've evolved, but in most ways I've become more primal. I know what I want, I'm angry when I don't get it and I know it's beauty that will kill this beast within me.
