My thoughts post-Katrina - stay present to the moment, set aside my opinions, and take action to help.
"Each one, reach one"
Imagine if all of us writing here, takes some action to alleviate another's hurt. To provide food, clothes, employment or housing - just imagine...
We will put to shame the government. Us ordinary people. Compelled to act from compassion and caring.

You people amaze me. Not only are you ignorant, you seem to be proud of it.

You used the phrase "holds no bar." Reading this got my head hurting. I think (and this is a stretch) that the phrase you meant to invoke is "no holds barred."

If you run a blog, usually 90% of the content is language. That means you should pay attention to the words you use and their meaning (so as not to look like a jackass.)

And in the jackass department, if you actually thought that that mumbling, stuttering fool, Kanye West, has an ability to verbalize, your lack of language skills are more pronounced than your crappy writing indicates.

Nice points.
Enough of global warming. But can we really do something?
Will it make a difference if I pledge that I would reduce the miles I drive on my car to half? No more frequest drives.
Will it make difference if I pledge that I would use mass-transport, travel economy class even if I am Deepak Chopra or Taz Ahmad? Or even prefer video conferncing to travelling?
Will it make a difference if I sell my SUVs, Limo and use economy cars?
Will it make a difference if the first thing I would request the governemnt is to increase mass transport for commute in US, as done in Europe and other pasrt of this planet?
Will it make difference if I reduce packaged food in my diet and eat fresh food, hence reducing dependence on factories chruning out packaged food. Hence reduce air-water-sound pollution.
Will it make a difference if I live in a small house rather than a mansion? Then we don't need to convert marshlands into residential areas.

Lets lead by example.

Awesome stuff! Thanks for all the information. Revelations of John: http://skys.jp/blog/archives/200504/06-1228.php , Naked truth

Katrina’s Effect

Many people would say Katrina was the worse thing to happen to New Orleans but I see a new beginning. I feel New Orleans is unique because there is no place in America like it. While growing up in New Orleans I saw a lot of different things. I saw many people with no concern for there future because they became so content with the little they had. Many people I know have never been out of the New Orleans Metro area but by Katrina being so devastating destroying thousands of homes and displacing millions of people; there misfortune of being forced out into a new environment seems like a open opportunity to start over and see what else life has to offer. If you’ve been in New Orleans and knew the living conditions Uptown, Downtown in the 7th ward, 9th ward, Lafitte Projects or just the hood in General, you would know that many of the homes were already condemned and way over due.
Before Katrina New Orleans was in the top five percent on the list for having a failing school system, I would say we did learn but our system failed us and did not challenge us enough. I remember learning about the bowl effect and the impact a category four or five hurricane would have on New Orleans. Over the years, the bowl effect became untaught and unknown of to the new wilder generation, which is why many people did not have the time or the knowledge to prepare for Katrina. After Katrina hit, the bowl effect came to mind, then I heard the mayor talk about it on the news. I remembered that I had previously learned about the bowl effect in school. When Katrina hit New Orleans, the public school system had already entered into another year of an unorganized School system. Many people throw blame at Ray Nagin for the failing schools and levee systems, but I feel He is only one person who can only do so much.
Clean up of the devastation Katrina left behind is going to be a long process. It is disgusting, exhausting and very heartbreaking to see a city that you have known your whole life just vanish in the matter of hours. We have to be very cautious of hazardous chemicals, electrical wires, nails, glass, rodents, and other things lying around due to Katrina. There is also bacterial pollution and mold all around from the massive amount of water forced in from Katrina. Many people tend to make uneducated comments about why the garbage continues to pile up and is not being disposed of probably, without taking the time to look at things in different points of view. If they would take out the time to think before they speak, maybe they will find something positive out of the whole ordeal. My family and I were one of the fortunate ones because our house did not receive that much damage. We get to get new carpet and a new roof; that is how I look at the damage.
For almost two weeks after Katrina, my family and I did a lot traveling. With all the extra time on my hands, I became able to catch up on a lot of reading which made the traveling not so bad. Gas was the real stress of the traveling. We could barely find gas by all the gas stations being closed or out of gas because of the high demand. When we did manage to find a gas station, three hour lines is what we found ourselves waiting in, but still I wasn’t aggravated just bored. I could sit around and think of hundreds of complaints, but from living on the streets of New Orleans and facing the daily challenges of life, it taught me never to let no one or nothing steal my peace or joy. To see so many people complaining about little problems brought on by Katrina I could not understand. Just to live through Katrina should bring joy. I look at Katrina as a challenge, I feel it can only make us stronger based on how we look at it. At times, the thought of families displaced and for most nowhere to go hurts, but Katrina can be whatever we make it. It can be New Orleans ruin or it can be its upcoming.
After Katrina hit there was a lot of looting. The looting was not at all a shock to me because it’s New Orleans; things like people looting and other crimes or commonly done everyday. I do not believe in stealing but under the conditions faced with, I can respect doing what needs to be done to survive. Many people who claimed to be starving and said they stole to survive were stealing beer, lighters, clothes, shoes, electronics, etc. Instead of bread, water and other stuff needed to survive. But still I don’t judge them, I feel there mind set is not based on how extreme this matter is. Since they don’t know they look at it like it’s just a small storm and everything will be back to normal in a few days. So they take Katrina to their advantage for them to steal without being caught; without knowing the reality of what’s going on around them. Maybe they don’t mean wrong or maybe there just ruthless and don’t care. Who am I to judge them?
Watching TV I noticed a lot of people saying they were coming back and many saying they weren’t. I myself agree strongly with those who say they will return because visiting a lot of other parts of Louisiana and other states I can honestly say there’s no place like New Orleans. Other places or nice to visit and have fun but they have there own style and New Orleans has its own style. Where else are you going to find Super Sunday and the Second lines and DJ’s? No one else does Mardi Gras Let along Bayou Classic where it goes down. In New Orleans you can always find something fun to get into, some kind of entertainment. I’ve visited a lot of other places from Atlanta to St. Louis back to a small town like Hammond; even with all of New Orleans negativities I would think of no other place I would rather reside then New Orleans. On the other hand from the point of view of those who say they want return, they feel what is there going to be to return to. I can respect where there coming from. But they know soon as New Orleans is back up and running they’ll be back. Cause there’s no place like the N.O. Besides what’s New Orleans without the people?
I think its funny how things change so sudden and how everything can suddenly be brought to a halt, but I feel that everything happens for a reason and that this is just another plan God has for us. The new changes and hardships can get you down at times. I don’t take it to heart though; I take it as a challenge. I think the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas affected will get a new look at this thing we call life. My motto is “Live life for today preserve for tomorrow.”

Three phrases should be among the most common in our daily usage. They are: Thank you, I am grateful and I appreciate.

I can't believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $66218. Isn't that crazy!
