i no longer care about anything that i used to own. i can start a new life. but for god's fucking sake somebody has to save all those people that are still there.
i'm in new england now, and all i keep hearing is how people had no idea how bad it was. they're asking me if i'm on vacation. i don't think people quite comprehend the fact that an entire city is underwater right now, with people stranded on small little islands throughout. they ask me when i plan on going back and i just want to fucking shake them and tell them to watch the news.
it's still really strange to think about. like what i left with is now what i own.
we'll be heading back to charleston, south carolina, to look for jobs in the next week or so. i'm not worried about myself, but i am worried about the people i've talked to who are still delusionally optimistic that they'll be able to go into the city in a week to assess damages. the way this is going, nothing will be changed in a week. the water sure as hell won't be out.
i feel like a drag.

From what i've been hearing through the grapevine is that there was minimal looting on magazine street. The rest of uptown didn't really have looting. I'm hoping thats true. I still think the looters should be shot, but so long as they're sticking to stores and not homes i feel a smidgen better.

Oh man ... I think your profile is even more heartwrenching than your journal. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I'm glad you're okay.
