And Still I Rise

U just found de silver linin' behind hurricanes -- Ivan or Dean could prob'ly help Cali right now. (Yeah, Aaron should stay safe)
 

yea those wildfires are no joke
 

saw some pics of houses burning. at least the hurricane winds just blew the roofs off in barrouallie. put them back on and lets live. houses burned to cinders in cali? whole neighborhoods gone?... and why am i having this reaction when i didn't for katrina?

abeni, i'm a vincy writer on a mission. started putting some ideas on http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=bygINCpresents. it's about my first few years as 9 yr old immigrnat in "The States." if you have a few minutes, would love to get your take on the offerings. if you like, tell your friends.

publishers only wants folks who can bring an audience. that's why tyler perry's got hollywood wrapped around his fingers. he can fill seats. i need people to bring. i have the voice and a story to tell. listen, let me know.

thanks.
 

The fires are distressing to watch. I can actually feel it for the families. Seems some of them are arsons and the winds at least have toned down a notch to give them a chance to out them.
 

After all that talk of brush fires, hurricanes don't seem so bad. Better to die drowning than aflame! Hope CaliJ is ok.
 

I can't imagine losing everything like that....wish them all well.
 

It's definitely times I like this I don't miss living in Cali, but I do I miss it everyday! :-
 

Sorry for being late on this, just got my regular laptop back. Thank you all for the good wishes! Thanks Kami!
