[hopelessness]

click here to register for the oxy campaign. it takes a few seconds and all you have to do is fill in some basic information. for every person that registers, oxy will donate $1 to katrina relief. please take some time out from your day to do this and pass it on to other friends. you can make a difference, even if you don't actually have any money to donate.

i have a lot of thoughts on this and i don't even know where to start. so, i'll just leave it at this. our president and our administration is a disappointment and i'm absolutely ashamed to even think about the actions (or lack of) that were taken. women are being raped and people are shooting at each other in the superdome, and condoleeza rice is out buying shoes worth thousands of dollars and playing tennis. my heart truly goes out to everyone who has been affected by this hurricane.
