1. It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 years since I was standing on 5th & 35th, looking downtown in shock. #neverforget

2. I don’t believe everything happens for a reason, but the reasoning to be gained was immense. I hope people learned. That’s all I’m saying.

3. Lots of uniformed presence on the platform and train this AM. Dear MTA, this is a good thing on a regular basis, okay?

4. I will give tourists on Wall Street a full 3 count to take their photos if each other before I walk through it. I think that is fair enough.

5. Nevertheless, it’s safe to say that a blurred image of me walking exists on the digital cameras of about 100 European or Asian tourists.

6. In lighter news, last night was the final show ever for Nine Inch Nails. But was it the last to be played by Trent Reznor? I don’t think so.

7. Somfucius say: Man who is always hypersensitive about the past fails to grow in his acceptance of the world’s differences.

8. It figures that the first time I wear long sleeves in 4 months, I sit in a train car with zero air circulation. *tugs shirt repeatedly*

9. At tonight’s Super Furry Animals concert, God show me magic or kiss me with apocalypse. Either way I win. Although I’d prefer a Slow Life.

10. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by how difficult it is to make a good joke on a rememberance day. Better to bite your tongue than not.
