Hey Man,
Congrats on the recent new addition.. and i try to say this with sincerity, and not like you just acquired a new joe vehicle or something
My dates
April 4th 1987 A saturday.. when it was my 7th birthday.. and of course the year I found Action Force, which in the UK would become GIJOE
May 26th 1999 A Wednesday.. my Football team Manchester United won the Treble by beating German Giants Bayern Munich in the European Cup Final. I'd never experienced anything quite like the drama this game had to show. From going 1-0 down and with minutes remaining on the clock we scored twice from set pieces to win!
My Birthday obviously
July 1997 - More of a two week thing, spent a holiday in Turkey that will stay with me until my last breath, it definately shaped who I am and who i've become. The holiday taught me alot as a person as well as the many wonderful cultures that could come from talking to people from different countries.
September 11, 2001 - I won't go into the politics or the constant conspiracy theories. I'll just say that for many people worldwide, this is a truely horrible date to have to remember, and yet everyone pretty much remembers what they were doin ' the day the terrorists attacked ' whether you choose to believe one sequence of events or another, it's evidently clear this event will not be forgotten or wiped out from history - why is it important to me? It showed me many different types of human emotion, as well as cowardness and dispicableness.
July 7th 2005 - London Bombings, again for the above reasons. Another dispicable act, done for whatever means, whatever you believe, either way you scratch it, it's dispicable, hurrendous and cowardly.
