youve been warned, but who cares

""NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - After the storm came the carjackers and burglars. Then came the gun battles and the chemical explosions that shook the restored Victorians in New Orleans' Algiers Point neighborhood.

"The hurricane was a breeze compared with the crime and terror that followed," said Gregg Harris, a psychotherapist who lives in the battered area.

As life returned to this close-knit neighborhood three weeks after Hurricane Katrina, residents said they hoped their experience could convince political leaders to get serious about the violence and poor services that have long been an unfortunate hallmark of their city.

"I think now it's a wake-up call," Harris said.

After the storm, the neighborhood association had to act as law enforcement and emergency response unit as city services collapsed and the police force was unable to protect them. Citizens organized armed patrols and checked on the elderly. They slept on their porches with loaded shotguns and bolted awake when intruders stumbled on the aluminum cans they had scattered on the sidewalk."" (yahoo news)

what the fuck is this? i dont think ill ever fully understand why some people feel the need to creat more chaos out of this mess...


iv been completely out of it lately, iv been getting up at 4:40 in the morning to go to work, then i come home, shower, then drive a half an hour to school... im not complaining, i can at least get shit done. i get home in the afternoon about 3, depending on when my last class is, or if i just dont go to my classes... so i get home and i have nothing to do but just sit around. because i only work in the morning my afternoons are free, but i have nothing to do. i end up watching M*A*S*H or that 70's show while i try and fix my fucked up computer.
