OpinionHead.com New Author and Subscription Drive!

Hello everybody, I am starting a campaign to get new Authors, and new email subscriptions to this site, we have a lot of visitors and email subscribers, but I would like to increase it, so, take a look, if you like the site, please subscribe, you can either follow this link Subscribe to OpinionHead.com by Email Or you can use the form below. Again, thank you, current subscribers, the more subscribers I get, the more motivated I get!

As you know, I can get a little bit long winded, so, I feel that I should tell you why I am asking you to subscribe to OpinionHead.com, yes, that motivation thing is important, but, there is a much larger reason, I want to help spread the word, to help promote the Tea Parties, the “awakening” of our wonderful country that I have been dreaming of!

When I started this site, I did it for this reason, it was like I could see what was happening, but there were very few others like me, now, I don’t feel quite so isolated, people are starting to stand up and say “Hey, this big government, big spending, and trampling of the constitution crap just ain’t gonna cut it!” I want people, regardless of their opinions, left, right, or middle, to come here and share those opinions!

So, if you agree with me, if you think I am insane, if you believe that GW Bush is God or Satan was a great president or just an idiot, if you think Obama is the messiah or the antichrist, if you think Rush is Right, or wrong, it doesn’t matter! The whole point is for us all to come together, learn why we have these different views, and then realize that we have more in common than we thought, and then maybe, just maybe, we could all get along! If we can get together, we can solve our problems, but, we need to stand “together”, so, register, get the email subscription, and post a comment or be an author, it is up to you!

If you want to be an author, Register, then use the contact form, find me on Twitter, whatever, just let me know and I will set it up. Thanks everybody!

Do You Remember where you were on September 11, 2001?

Do you remember where you were? I know that I do, I have a very vivid memory of that day, at least the first part of it, after news of the attacks happening, it all kind of becomes a blur! Glenn Beck remembers too, follow this link to listen, it brings back a lot of memories for me, maybe it will for you too.

That day started like every day during that time, I had just stopped and picked up donuts for the guys, and was sitting at a red-light, waiting to pull in to the parking lot, when my cell phone rang. It was my girlfriend, and she was freaking out a bit, trying to tell me that an airplane had just hit the World Trade Center, honestly, I started to laugh! As bad as that sounds, it was that I thought she was just playing a joke on me, but, no sooner than I had started to laugh, and she started screaming! I mean screaming like the world had just ended! I never did laugh.

At this point, everything was still unknown, when she first called, it sounded like a plane crash or something benign like that, you know, just an accident, even as bad as that would have been, it just didn;t sound like a big deal, until she screamed! I have to tell you, I had just put my truck into park at that time, thank God, but when she screamed, I knew it was no joke! That was when the second plane had hit.

I got out of my pickup, forgetting the donuts, and was headed into the carpet store, as she was hearing the details of  what had happened, and was telling me, I know I must have looked like a mess to everyone inside, that were waiting on the donuts, and as I sterted to tell them what had happened, they had the same reaction that I did at first, they thought I was joking. Someone got my keys and went out to my truck to get the donuts, while I was trying to find a radio station to hear what was happening.

I had to get the installers loaded up so they could get to work, and I did, still on the cell phone with my girlfriend and still telling everyone what had happened, and still, no one believed me! Once the Installers were gone, I finally got the little radio to work and was listening to it, but there was nothing but music, about this time, my cell phone battery went dead.

Here I was, feeling like I was the only person in the city of Houston that knew, at this time there was a truck pulling up outside our back door, it was a utility repair truck, the guy jumps out and asks me if I had heard what happened, to be honest, I actually felt relieved that I wasn’t alone in my knowledge. There we were, listening to the radio in his truck, and one by one, others started walking up, listening with us, no one said a word! We were all in shock! Soon after, there was the report about the Pentagon, and then, the plane that had been missing, crashed, and the order for all planes to get out of the sky came.

The carpet store is basically accross the street from the airport, at the North end, which is past the runways, the sky was almost black with aircraft! It was like something from a movie, but that didn’t take long, and the skys were empty. That sound, that we had all taken for granted of the planes coming and going, was gone, everything was silent, and it stayed that way…………..after that it is a blur.

One thing I do remember, is the people, there was this strange bond we all had, we had all just experienced something that we would never forget.

Over the next few days, the news had very little crime to report, it was as if crime just stopped. There was but one thing, America, someone had just attacked us, and everyone was mad!

Within just a few days, the “Proud to be an American” stuff started hitting the stores, and I bought a can koozie, that stated that, and “United We Stand”, with the date of September 11, 2001 on it, I still have it. I still remember!
