More to come
I took a pause from blogging a few weeks ago, no real reason, just things went a different way in my life for a while. HOWEVER, over the next few days I'll be working on quite a bit of material that I've been sitting on for some time.
Most important of which is my recent trip to New Orleans and other Katrina devastated areas, I've got over 3 gigs of video to convert and edit, nothing too too amazing, just things that were important to me.
I didn't go to New Orleans to be some sort of "citizen journalist" or for the purpose of breaking anything new. I went because my grandfather needed help, needed someone to do the things that he couldn't in wake of the devastation and damage. I went because it was the right thing to do and someone needed to do it, that person just happened to be me.
I couldn't go without taking time to see the effect on New Orleans for myself, and with my own eyes. It's obvious that the media dropped the ball big time when it comes to reporting the TRUTH of the New Orleans situation and the Hurricanes effect on the Gulf Coast in general. I needed to see my hometown one last time for myself, see the homes I grew up in, the schools I attended and the grounds I stomped.
So those readers that have stuck around, stay tuned. I don't promise anything Earth-shattering, but I do promise an honest first-hand account of what things are like now.
More soon, but for now I'm trying to beat back a fever and finish coughing up the rest of this nasty stuff I breathed in whilst I was down there.
