Hurricane Katrina
Well I haven't posted anything on my blogger in so long because there is nothing to post, not really, i dont think so.
Last week Thursday we had Hurricane Katrina swing by. So that evening, we had no lights. U dont understand how PISSED OFF i was. And I almost didnt eat dinner. Now if anybody knows me, they will know that when it comes to eating, I dont play. LOL. So for almost a week, well the lights came back on Monday afternoon. From Thursday till Monday, I was hot and bothered, a lil hungry (LOL), sweaty, tired, the list goes on and on. I dont want to tell u all of my feelings and emotions, too X-rated :) When u have nothing to do at home and there's no TV, or electricity, u start thinking about alot of stuff like: What if it was always like this?, What if the weather would of been worse? What if I was up there in New Orleans? I dont even think I could of made it, fo real fo real. Cause I cant go 2 hours without food and they have been hungry for at least 4 days now. I can go without lights for a week, I can take cold showers, I been through that before, not having lights and stuff. And cold showers aint so bad. U should try it sometimes. When the lights were out, I couldn't charged my cell phone up. So I was going crazy too at the same time. And when I go to the bathroom, I ALWAYS cut the switch on for some reason thinking the lights r on, omg.
U dont realize what u have until its gone. Alot of people take things for granted. Like maybe me for example, I can't even live without my cell phone, now thats messed up. Or a hot meal, Thousands and Thousands of people don't have anything to eat right now.When I look at pictures and interviews on the news about New Orleans, it looks like Somalia, it doesn't even look like America, but it is.
As u can see, New Orleans has alot of black people, like myself. And I believe that if that city was full of white people, they would of been out there the next day saving people. Why did it take 3 or 4 days to come out there? One senator said that if they weren't poor and black, they would of never been left out there. And Mr. Bush, he was out there and came right back a few days ago. W/e I dont want to talk about him. In Broward the teachers can't talk about this crisis to the kids. Why? Because the school board said no. When they had the tsunami, oh yeah it was ok then to talk about it.
Why is it that the people over there got to go so crazy? Killing, Raping, Stealing. Well I can understand stealing cause there is no food and water to get at home. There is no home to go to. Might as well, people r hungry. They got to feed their family, so they got to do what they got to do.
OK, Im talking too much. Its thundering again.

Why is it always thundering by your house...?
Any wayz I agreed with pretty much everything you said about Katrina and the poor people in New oRLEANS. They're tryin to cover that shit up, but it's clear that it has to do with class and race. Once again the poor black man gets slighted, and then told..."oh..sry bout that".
And when they had basically the same picture of a white woman walking in the water with some food,the headline said she "FOUND" it, but in the picture with the black woman she "stole" it. That's so fucked up on so many levels. Who wouldn't steal food for themselves and they're family when they've been standing knee-deep in water for 4 goddamn days?!
I can't even watch the news that much anymore it just pisses me off...I gotta stop talking about this.
And whenever my lights go out i do the same thing and go to turn the lights off in the bathroom too...lol, and then i'm like "dammit!"
and dorie i switched blogs again! just so u know. lol
