Katrina
i have a lot to talk about regarding last week's SUCCESSFULLLLLL ALLHIPHOP Week, my lil trip to Delaware this weekend, and SCHMOEEEEE resurfacing but right now all i can think of is this damn Katrina...
WOW... my aunt is sick right now. her side of the fam is from New orleans and she hasnt spoken to anyone. this is crazy. im watching the video footage in disbelief. its soooo unreal to me. especially it being in the USA. when the tsunami hit indonesia and taiwan, it was sad... it was crazy.. but it didnt hit home... katrina on the other hand... is toooo close for comfort. what are people supposed to do? how do you start over after something like this? whats wrong with mother nature? what did we do? ive been a basket case just watching this stuff with my mouth open. i havent been this glued to the TV since the 2004 presidential race. it was s disheartening to watch this 77 year old woman walk on the side of the highway. those sudden feelings changed to anger when i saw our people looting the damn walmart stealing TV's. WTF!??!?!? Sir... WHERE are you going with that television???? there is NOOOO electricty and probably wont be any for awhile. are you going to carry that all the way to Texas? Whats wrong with people... but in the words of sass... those arent black people... those are "niggers". PAUSE... remember: nigger= ignorant... and that they were... i couldnt help but feel sick when i saw the historical french quarters damn near under water as well... no more Bourbon street... whats going to be of Mardi gras? i generally saw new orleans as a town of food and fun... thats how my aunt made it sound... and now.. all u see is water... water... and more water...
the last thing i watched brought a tear to my eye... this woman was walking in the street, wading through the water and said " this is new orleans... we are strong, we will make it through by the grace of God." thats some serious faith...
...signing off with a smile*

I know, I was saying the same thing, "dummies...where are you taking the TV? and where are you going to wear those fly sneakers"?(they raided a Foot Action) People are such assess. But aside from that, it's embarrasing and makes me so angry.
It is so sad...that poor man who had to let go of his wife's hand...
Yes it's sad. All we can do is pray.
Safa: :o( That made me cry a lil' bit. Thats insane! Yeah where ARE they going with those fly kicks?... jeezus... for some odd reason i wish i could trade places with some of those people... i wouldnt survive though.. i know i wouldnt...
Princess: Ure right... all we can do is pray...
I still can't believe it! like... this can't be happening in the U.S.
