Tues Mar 12, 2002 - 8:30am (check out first & second day in Anguilla)
The lighting of the "Tribute in Light" was one of many ceremonies held across the United States. The twin towers of light are meant to represent the fallen twin towers of the World Trade Center.
Located about a block from "Ground Zero," the banks of 44 searchlights will remain lit from dusk until 11 p.m. for 32 days and under certain conditions might be seen for up to 25 miles away.
I walked down towards Tribeca to take a look but didn't really have to wander as far as I did because those babies shine man, I mean it's like a huge Bat light, high in the sky, looks very surreal and very cool.
Morpheus wasn't happy about the fact that they're not placed in exactly the place where the towers fell, but I guess they are still trying to clear that area and couldn't exactly plonk two great huge light stands there.
When you look at it from say Brooklyn Bridge you see two beams going straight up, but from my angle it looked like two beams shooting up but then mingling to become one as it went higher which is a shame but I'm sure it was just my angle. They still looked great and it's a huge uplift for the people of New York and a big fuck off to Laden and his wanker associates.
So I screwed up yesterday. Well you see, I was the only one that didn't get a nice lovely all over tan because of the severity of the sun, so I just burnt. So there's like patches of me with good colour and then other parts that are just white, I look like friggin Michael Jackson. So I decided yesterday after my workout to go and hit the sunbed for 20 minutes.....not the best idea in the world, totally burnt my ass and my back, really stupid, and now I'm rather achy and stiff which sucks as I actually enjoyed my workout yesterday and would like to go back again but I'm in a bit of pain to be honest.
Yeah I know I'm an idiot, but you should of seen the encouraging looks I got yesterday purely because I have colour in my face. I'm telling you it does LOADS for the ego.
Ok so today I'm going to call "Space" a hair salon around the corner that Mary Anne and Aphrodite went to, to get their hair straightened. You see I read in "Lucky" magazine that people like me with cowlicks and wavy bits can get a spot-treatment straightener for their hair, which I'm sure means the smaller version of the full relax to get those bits that are impossible to do by oneself. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I'm also going to play with my new Photoshop Adobe software kindly given to me by Dennis the Menace. I'm going to try and do a new clients web page using this software, so that should be fun and a bit of a challenge seeing as how I have NO CLUE whatsoever as to how I should work it.
Right then I'd better get on, see you later.
By the way, guess where I'm going tomorrow? Oh yeah baby Aphrodite is taking me to see the Rosie O'Donnell Show....yeah, fantastic, can't wait, will give you a full rendition of the day....promise.
MISTAKE, it's not tomorrow for Rosie, it's THURSDAY...sorry about.
So last night two shafts of bright light around 7pm pierced the night sky in memory of all those who lost their lives in the September 11 attacks.
