checking in...

With so little time, i have even less to be looking at this, but alas as this is my outsource to the world, the tally and thaks are as follows....

Doing big things with Hurricane Katrina, if you're not involced now, please respond...the world is only so big, and you can only turn away for so long.

As for me. Graduate Studies keep me occupied.

My life is as follows....

My heart belongs to a man overseas, and alas he has no way of staying updated so perhaps the following should not disturb him as much....

my time is divided by two other men,
C-ofcourse, needing no further explanation if you know me, and
My Ex: who i suppose now has become my friend...

C has duly informed me he feels replaced by my ex, and I must agree to some extent he has....especially as I find myself typing from my ex's bedroon at 7:34 in the am.

Its quite odd. Coming back to familiar novelty. Rest assured, J-and others, he's aware of the above devotions....

As usual, Mr. Someone could waltz into my life, and perhaps I'd be typing from right down the hall. ....was that an invitation, I'm not sure....

The reality is, I am finally "free" to do as I please, without remorse, and this time around, I have chosen not to feel bad for loving, or living.

The man of the Hour is in Iraq now. God has been nice and has granted him phone privalledges, so 1 am phone calls keep me awake.

He too is aware of my life and its many dirrectional pulls. He laughs at knowing I turn every boy away simply for his phone calls.

The future is clear though....In June of 2006, I leave. With or without memories.
The memories I have are fond, and the ones I plan on creating,....
well, I hope you remain a part of.

J, all my love for being put on the burner for a "phone call"
Philosopher Marine, --My phone is free this evening after 7pm MST

Mr. Someone....You have a standing invitation....I know its been memories, but I hold on to them. And by the way, I haven't forgotten, Happy Birthday, even if no gifts are exchanged.

All others, make time for me, and i will make time for you.

Mr. Boots anthem

Kanye West takes Bush to task during NBC telethon if(typeof sIFR == "function"){ runSIFR(); }

New York — It began, fittingly enough, with jazz from New Orleans natives Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis.

But "A Concert for Hurricane Relief," a heartfelt and dignified benefit aired on NBC and other networks Friday night, took an unexpected turn thanks to the outspoken rapper Kanye West. Appearing two-thirds through the program, he claimed "George Bush doesn't care about black people" and said America is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."

The show, simulcast from New York on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Pax, was aired live to the East Coast, enabling the Grammy-winning rapper's outburst to go out uncensored.

There was a several-second tape delay, but the person in charge "was instructed to listen for a curse word, and didn't realize (West) had gone off-script," said NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks.

Immediately after the airing was over, Marks said it was undetermined how much, if any, of the tirade would be included in the taped West Coast feed three hours later.

The host was NBC News' Matt Lauer, who invited viewers to contribute to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund by phone or on the Web. Some 18 presenters performed musical numbers or gave information on the tragedy's huge scope.

Louisiana native Tim McGraw teared up as he told Lauer, "I know the citizens that weren't affected by this directly are gonna stand up and do good things for people." He sang two songs, then became the first of the evening's stars to sign a Gibson Les Paul Special guitar to be auditioned online.

Faith Hill, a Mississippi native, sang "There Will Come a Time," with the inspiring lyrics, "The darkness will be gone, the weak shall be strong. Hold on to your faith."

New Orleans son Aaron Neville performed Randy Newman's soulful "Louisiana 1927" with the memorable chorus, "they're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away."

New York governor George Pataki presented the Red Cross with a check for $2.5-million (U.S.) and promised, "This great state will do far more."

"Interms of property damage," said actress Hilary Swank, "the estimate is at least $26-billion in insured losses and perhaps twice that in uninsured losses over a 90,000-square-mile area — approximately the size of Kansas."

Other speakers included Lindsay Lohan, Eric LaSalle, Glenn Close, Richard Gere, John Goodman and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Comedian Mike Myers was paired with West for a 90-second segment that began with Myers speaking of Katrina's devastation. Then, to Myers' evident surprise, West began a rant by saying, "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."

While allowing that "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," West — who delivered an emotional outburst at the American Music Awards after he was snubbed for an award — declared that government authorities are intentionally dragging their feet on aid to the Gulf Coast. Without getting specific, he added, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."

After he stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people. Please call —" the camera cut away to comedian Chris Tucker.

Concluding the hour a few minutes later, Lauer noted that "emotions in this country right now are running very high. Sometimes that emotion is translated into inspiration, sometimes into criticism. We've heard some of that tonight. But it's still part of the American way of life."

Then the entire ensemble performed "When the Saints Go Marching In."

In a statement, NBC said, "Kanye West departed from the scripted comments that were prepared for him, and his opinions in no way represent the views of the networks.

"It would be most unfortunate," the statement continued, "if the efforts of the artists who participated tonight and the generosity of millions of Americans who are helping those in need are overshadowed by one person's opinion."

Friday's program was the first of several TV benefits planned through next weekend.

NBC and the five other major commercial broadcast networks, along with PBS, plan to unite next Friday for a special. The same night, BET will air a benefit. And on Saturday, Sept. 10, the MTV networks will air a special.
