what would u do?
the caption of the cnn article this morning asked, why won't they leave?
everyday i get more and more frustrated. it's really hard to understand what's going on because it's not us. we're not there. it's difficult for many to fathom what people over there feel. so many opinions and things said, many without understanding. and i add my own ignorance to all that mess with this post. from the very beginning, i'm tired of the talk, i'm tired of people talking about the poor. don't talk about these people unless you've actually been poor or black or what have you. plainly, quit judging and hatin on. rather, do something or sympathize. a family of four corpses are found in a house...

why don't they leave? last week, it was why didn't they leave?
i thought about it for a little while last week. all i've got is here. my stuff. my family. my wife could go into labor anytime now. if a disaster was to hit, what would i do if she was in the hospital or incapable of being moved quickly even though we can make it happen with all the resources that we are provided. i don't know what i would do. if i was single, would i run or would i stay to help others caught in the havok?

and so here i was thinking about all this and trying to push the new apple ipod nano launch yesterday to people who complain about what they want and what they can't have. everyone thinks they deserve something. so frikin ridiculous.
and it's so frikin ridiculous how sexy i think the black ipod nano is. drool.
