i give...

so i give...i've thought about entering the myspace/blog world all summer and now I finally am---opting out of the myspace craziness and entering the blog world. i figure with most of my family and friends out of state and overseas it might be a fun way to keep in touch!  

Earlier today i spent some time watching youtube videos--from mlk's i have a dream to common's i have a dream...to a political forum on race and hurricane katrina to kanye wests' outburst on race and katrina...i'm hoping to help some of the students to lead a team to new orleans in march...

one of the college girls i work with at multnomah told me today that she would call me her inverted oreo friend---black inside.  The thought makes me smile...

so anyway...i'm watching all of these things and starting to cry because something deep seems to resonate and i miss my friends in compton and just like the past four years (or seven for that matter) my question is still if? and still when? and still how?...so i guess as long as i have these tears, then i also have a call...and with the call a dream...and with the dream a question...what am I to do with this one life?
