bummed out....

so i get up this am and think to myself, man if i turn on the tv right now, all i'll see is more heartbreaking stories about the hurricane. i say tomyself, i don't know if i can handle that right now. but alas, what do i do? turn on the tv.

but then i realize, it's saturday, and gma and the today show aren't on. a sense of relief washes over me.....but only momentarily.

i can't explain it, but then i start searching for stories/more info. it's like i need to know that the national guard has finally gotten to n.o. and surrounding areas. i need to know that water/food/help has finally arrived. once i do, i get caught up in the emotions, the desperation, the chaos.

i have to turn it off again. maybe i'm weak, maybe i'm selfish, but i just can't watch it anymore.
