Reality Check

This flooding in New Orleans has really had a serious effect on me. I've been watching some of it on t.v and it is crazy. It is unbelievable. I know it is real, but really what you see is unimaginable. Oprah did a show, and she went down in the heart of it. I had tears in my eyes, it is craziness. This one family she interviewed were just on the streets. Why?? Because they said "We got kids with us, and the gangmembers were lined up by the bathrooms raping the kids. A 9year old girl died from the rape, we couldnt keep our babies in there, its either we die in there or out here, we took our chance with Katrina."

Another man and his family were just aimlessly walking around. He said, there started to have shooting and ting in dere, and he decided to come outside. When asked where he was going, he didnt know. He also didnt know where he was going to sleep. He said "If I stop and its soft enough for me to sleep and get up tomorrow, then i'll sleep there".

Another thing that came to light was how all de riots started. Imagine before the storm and thing, while people were inside the SuperDome, those incharge went around telling people not to go on the carpet in the middle of the dome!!!!!!!!!!! The same carpet that ended getting wet, and now has on human remains and shit like that. I tell you, as human beings we are our greatest enemy.

I mean my "biggest problems" right now are where am I going to find the time and money to fund my trips I planning for St.Lucia, Trinidad and Europe. I tell you, if that is my biggest problem, then I really have no problems at all. I am a very lucky woman.

Thank you God for blessing me and my family.

Thank goodness for my calming music. I been listening to 104.1fm and then coming home and either listening to my dad's cds or dloading the music. Lionel Richie, Sade, India Arie etc. Its very soothing.

Wow These words are something else

Here are the words to Shakira's song, this is the english translation. Boy this is the kind of thing everyone can relate to at some point or the other in their life.



The Torture (La tortura)
by Shakira feat. Alejandro Sanz


Alejandro Sanz: Hey baby girl
Save your poetry
Keep your poems and cheer to yourself

Shakira: I’m not asking that everyday be sunny
I’m not asking that there to be a party every Friday
Nor do I ask you come back begging forgiveness
If you’re crying with dry eyes
Speaking about her
Oh my love, it hurts so muchIt hurts so much
That you left without saying a word
Oh my love, losing you was torture

Alejandro Sanz: I know I haven’t been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Shakira: Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz: We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Shakira: Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And lets say goodbye

Alejandro Sanz: I can’t ask winter to spare a rose bush
I can’t ask an elm to bear pears
I can’t ask the eternal of a mere mortal
And go about casting thousands of pearls
Before swine

Alejandro Sanz: Oh my love, it hurts so much
It hurts so much
That you no longer trust my promises
Oh my love, losing you has been torture
I know I haven’t been a saint
But I can make it up to you

Shakira: Man doesn’t live on bread alone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz: We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours

Shakira: Better save that for yourself
Take that bone to some other dog
And lets say goodbye

Alejandro Sanz: Listen, baby, don’t you go
Listen, baby, don’t get angryFrom Monday to Friday you have my love
Give Saturday to me and you’ll be better off
Listen baby, don’t punish me anymore
Without you, out there I have no peace
I’m just a repentant man,I’m the bird that returns to its nest
I know I haven’t been a saint
And I’m not made of stone

Shakira: Man doesn’t live on bread lone
Nor do I live on excuses

Alejandro Sanz: We only learn from mistakes
And today I know my heart is yours
Shakira: Oh after all I’ve done for you
It was such torture to lose you
It hurts me so that it’s like this
Keep on crying sorry
I…
I’m not going to cry over you


Grooving, toodles
