I found out about a new hangout spot for celebrities: Africa. Yes, the whole damn continent is like Studio 54 w/o the platforms, cocaine and disco music. Seems like once a year or so a handful of celebrities trek over to a random country in Africa where people are destitute and hand out lollipops and shit to feel good about themselves.

lol, ok, all jokes aside. I don't really know how I feel about Oprah yet because she seems a bit more devoted in her mission. Plus she came from a situation not much better than those she exploits... Yeah, ya'll know she exploits them even if they do benefit from it.

Honestly, I dunno either. She definitely does a lot, but still I think she can do more. I saw her special and she went to the hospital where a woman was dying of AIDS and I don't remember seeing her do anything about it.

I think I saw her explain this once. Although I could just be making this up. Not this particular situation, but she tries very hard not to just do individual fixes when problems are on such a large scale. Because if she does she'll do one more, and one more, and so on, and then get overwhelmed and consumed by the amount of people that she can not save, and then she becomes useless and is not able to help ANYbody.

and I am shaking my head at how I read half that post and did not know who Prince William was. I kept saying it as if Prince was a first name and William was the last. I even considered Prince having the last name William but then why would his face be on money and why is he in Africa? *SMH* working a Sunday lunch does that stuff to you.
