I tried, I really did, but I just can't help myself!!!

Okay, I told myself that I wasn't going to watch, listen to, read, anymore news coverage on the Katrina victims but I can't help myself.   I am absolutely mesmerized by the goings on in LA.It really is hard to avoid because it is everywhere. I just wish that I could do something more than donate money and necessities. I would love to be able to take in a family because I can only imagine how they must feel having lost everything. I just heard  that they found 30 dead bodies in a nursing home.  Apparently the employees at the home  decided to flee the hurricane (don't know whether or not they left New Orleans altogether or just left the nursing home) without making some type of provisions for the residents of the home.  I mean how thoughtless and selfish is that? How could you save yourself and leave 30 other elderly people to die.  I mean damn!!!.  Why couldn't the employees( or whomever was in charge) figure out some kind of way to get those patients out of there, at least get them to the SuperDome or The Convention Center. Those residents were someone's mother,  father, sister, brother, grandparent..I mean Damn.  I could never do something like that.  Even if I was only able to transport 1 person, I would've done SOMETHING!!!  Even the animals were treated better than those people.  At least the animal owners had the good sense to drop them off at a hospital in which the doctor there refused to leave until he could get all of the animals to safety (which he did.)  Aren't we, as humans, more important than a dog or cat?  With some of the stories that I've been hearing, I really can't tell!

I'm in the MONEY!!! YEAAAAYAAAHHHHH!!!

I have been in such a funk about what has been going on with the hurricane victims that I haven't been updating much.  One of my grandmother's sister's friends is missing.  She lives in Slidel.  (well I don't know if she is missing but I haven't been able to reach her by cellphone)  I'm praying that she and her family are okay.  I still can't believe how tragic  that is.  Then you have stupid azz Barbara Bush talking about "well the victims living in the arenas were underprivileged anyway, so this (living in another arena in Texas) is working out well for them"  I mean what kind of shyt is that?    basically she is saying, fuck'em, they didn't have shyt before the hurricane so they should be thankful that they have that arena in Texas to live. She is ignorant as hell, I'm sensing that there could be some truth to Kanye's statement.. and that's from mama Bush on down!!  :::END RANT::::  Anyway, First thing I did when I got to work was check my account.(remember I posted about  getting paid to surf?)  well I have been grinning and cheesing and doing my happy dance around the office all day so far. .  My ass actually got paid 2 g's.  Thats right ya'll  I got me some Christmas money (if I dont spend it all before then)  Don't hate now!!    I posted about this before so Ya'll had your chance.   Anyway, the only problem is that it is in gold so I have to find a good money exchange to get it changed into US dollars. I know that it will cost me but I don't know anything about  the going rate  of gold or  fees. I need to look into that. I got my co-worker to join too. She wasn't trying to hear what I was saying(even though her behind is broke as hell) until I showed her my e-gold account. (yeah I switched from Stormpay because they charged me 6.9% =69 cents to receive payments..too much interest for my taste even though I loved the fact that they dealt in dollars and not gold)  I also showed her the website that I used when I did research. If you're interested here it is. Start Making Money Today I thought it gave a pretty good explanation.

Take a look up there and see all my money...Yeah Boy!!! 

On a new note.  My girl has a little boy and sometimes I go with her when she picks him up from school.  A few times, I saw this chatty chick whose daughter goes to the  same school.  My girl is cool with her so everytime she is there when we are, she stops and chats (and this chick is severely long winded.)  She's this Bohemian, Erykah Badu type chick  who looks really nice.  Since she has a daughter I never though much about her comments to me.  One time she was telling me how good I look and how "I have it going on" and blah blah blah.  I just said "thanks" and that was it.  She would say things like this everytime I saw her but the day before yesterday, I went with my girl to the school and she was there.  She kept talking about how pretty my toes were and how she loved my toes and they are so cute.  She was like " I'm going to call your pretty toes" from now on.  I was walking around looking like the Rock (one eyebrow up thang) because I don't know about her.  I don't want to think that she likes me like that but I'm going to be on guard around her. Yeah, she could just be overly nice but I mean who goes around jockin' someone's toes?  Anyway. Let me get to lunch.
