I feel selfish for being deliriously in love while all this is happening in NoLa...
I cried at my temp job the other day while reading MSNBC...I don't have a TV so I didn't realize how bad things were...
I feel helpless.
My mother always told me I feel other people's pain more so than most people...
I was in Hurrricane Iniki in Hawaii a long time ago...and it was the most frightening experience of my life. I can not even begin to comprehend the terror, pain and loss these people are going through.
We can only hope.
And help.

I've been on the verge of tears EVERY day, probably even cried most days. But that's just because I'm from Jefferson parish and my family fleed and were without water, electricity, or gas for a few days. I wasn't able to talk to them but now things are ok.
TV makes things worse! I live in FLorida and Katrina hit us first and left us without power until last Wednesday. I didn't have tv until we stayed in a motel on Tuesday, all I watched was 30 minutes and I was done with the updates, it was horrific. The whole ordeal has been horrific, the hurricane, the reaction time, the fucking ignorant assholes with guns raping and stealing, and the aftermath now.
We have to wait.
But just try to be happy with the life you have now, be grateful, and that's all you owe. Not every moment of your day, just a few.
