The 7th Day

God bless the people of Haiti. My prayers are still with you all, but all the while there are many many questions running through this noggin of mine. Here are just two.

Where's the President of Haiti?

Why is there so much bureaucracy going on with sending help to the point where one thinks there is a "2 for me 1 for you" div-ing up before disbursement of monies, water, food, DOCTORS (who are still waiting on the ok to travel to colossal calamity?

More questions are coming as now there are shots being fired in the streets due to the awakening of "innate survival instincts". What lessons did we learn from Katrina or from 2004's Great Tsunami? ...not much. Seems as though we get a big fat F in Action and a A+ with Celebrity Appearances and Special concerts.

Where's Kanye when you need him??? I would like to hear what he has to say at this point. (I lied there was a third question)

Rather than sitting watching the tube in disbelief and despair, as I did when New Orleans was more like Atlantis, I called a good friend of mine that so happened to be Haitian and tried to see how I can help (minus potentially money hungry middle-men). Apparently, UPS was (is) waving parcel fees so those that have direct access to friends and family in need can send items free of charge. However, he is still waiting on the go-ahead.

As the wait continues, more people pass away under ruble and due to lack of basic necessities, violent reactions are arising. I have been mentally thumbing through the dusty black and yellow folder lodged somewhere in the back of my head and statements from Dick Gregory pop up. Too many to hyperlink, so I will leave that assignment up to those who want to "discover the truth". Let's just say it surprisingly has less to do with faults of the earth and more with faults of those we in trust great power to.

P.S.
We still have issues to fix here in the States too. More and more people are on the streets. Oh, and riding around on a conferate flag "adorned" golf cart on Martin Luther King Day passing by twice just to make your point, is NOT a good look.


PEACE

In Shock

Argh!

Just in case you didn't know. Folks are using scare tactics to stop people from continuing to infringe on copyrights. Though I think they may be taking it too far with actually planning to invade personal property and looking into files to see if you may be a pirate yourself. I guess they're going for "An eye for an eye".

Get in step

I am excited to say that one of my favorite artists will be releasing a new album in February 2010.

As I stated before Sade will never go out of style. Based on the album cover, I think someone has been reading my blog. Well at lease I think so.

Fallout

Sigh...
More of those have been coming out of my mouth lately. 9 keeps showing up everywhere. There is something within me that is about to change I'm sure. Get's stronger each night. Been waiting on it. It came. Definitely not Casanova or Miles. Up in the air? Yes. Signs; been looking for them. I believe in Serendipity. It happened. "Putting yourself out there" harder than it sounds. Brave enough to do it though.
Sigh...
Better than a duck. Been hawking as I am sure that have been reciprocated. Wish I had wings though. Not game a player. Read the rules too long. Opps! Threw 'em out. Who cares? Don't have your address so it might take awhile to send to you.

Not fair. In my head. Barely can get in yours. Then again, nothing is fair.


oh shit...

The SUN

Things around the way haven't been so peaceful for many across the globe but I hope that you find a piece of happiness some where in your soul. I will continue to do the same. My condolences to the Joyner family for the lost of their son. Friend of mine back in grade school. We used to beat on the lunch table 'til our knuckles bled just for sheer entertain of our class mates from time to time. He was a drummer too. I remember talking about what drum sets we would buy and what we would play on them. Shame to see him go after battling cancer successfully. Life is confusing at times. Don't know why things happen the way they do. Always for a reason. Those reasons most of the time I don't overstand. My blessings go out to all that has lost someone within the last couple of years. Trying to keep in mind that life is short and one should do their best while here. Sometimes it's tough due to dire economic statuses, manipulative/ people, negative spirits, bad situations etc. Gotta keep treading water. I and I'll try to do it with a smile on my face.

Have a Blessed Sunday

Didn't want to play a sad song so Herbie is gonna hold it down
