I've always known that I'm a bit of a space cadet but this week has just been plum ridiculous. I have managed to come to work at the wrong time 3 days in a row (we work on a rotating time schedule), I have worried myself sick thinking that my parents were lost in the Mediterranean because I thought that they were suppose to be back on Sunday when ( Read more... )

My brother Mat came to visit me this past weekend. He left this morning and I'm already missing him like crazy. No matter how much time I spend with him, it's never enough. When ever I see him, I'm always left feeling both fulfilled and needy. He always has answers for my never ending supply of questions, but his words & insight never fail to open ( Read more... )

I'm disgusted by the looters and the lack of utter humanity demostrated in New Orleans. But ABOVE ALL I'm am disgusted at the complete lack of leadership our government has taken. There is no face to ( Read more... )

George Bush gave one of the worst speeches in history last night, especially given desperate need for national hope and consolation. It did not in anyway attempt to unite the rest of the country with the south but almost gave permission for the rest of us to remain separated. There were so many issues that needed to be addressed but he didn't... he ( Read more... )

I'm so angry right now. I want to hit something. My brother called to tell me that the home I grew up in is rumored to no longer be standing, that 2 of my friends have yet to be accounted for and 2 of their grandparents are dead. No one in this fucking country seems to be grasping the amount of chaos that's going on in Louisiana. WE LOST AN ENTIRE ( Read more... )
