Thank you, ad agencies, for moving commercials on the anniversary. Here’s a few of my favorites:

9/11 – Paul Simon’s “Sound of Silence” Tribute
Pin drop silence. A moving tribute. Man, I miss songs that still hold value decades later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3np0DMxXKzM&feature=player_embedded
9/11
There is something about 9/11 that is still unresolved in me. Every time this is a news story, a newspaper article, lyrics put to still photos…I just start bawling. Not like a cute-Hallmark-card-commercial cry, like an emotional, gut-wrenching blubbering cry. I knew of a few people who knew a few people, but no one personally. […]
Life Observations: Chicago on Fire!

When I was in a relationship, it was either over hyped and didn’t deliver, or it was non-existent and pathetic. As […]
Daily Inspires: Dear Diary…
I’ve been lacking inspiration lately. Maybe it’s the grayness of the sun, or the snow-dried color of the cars passing me on the pot-holed streets. Maybe it’s the stir-craziness of the Snowpocalypse, or maybe it’s just me, but I have been very non-inspired, and I hate that. A friend of mine’s gift certificate bought this […]
