1 Year Ago

One year ago today I was in New Orleans, we probably had been out working on gutting houses for about 2 hours at that point. I can't believe it's been a year since I was down there helping out.

It was an amazing experience to help these people that couldn't gut their houses because of medical condtions. These people were so greatful for the help.

By the way the picture is of Tammy Ann Winn and I.

5 years ago where were you?

They say you remember where you were exactly when something major happens. Well I happened to be in Music Listening with Dr. Baker when most of 9/11 happened. I remember getting out of class early, and while walking the short distance between Haas and Columbia I heard the whispers of "can you believe what happened?" and "are we sure it's real?"

I got back to my room and decided to go to billboard.com because being involved with music that's what I checked. The website said it would not be updated b/c of the tragedy in NYC.

It was then about the only time my roommate for that year talked to me, and we put on the TV and saw the second tower come down.


It still feels like yesterday that this happened, and it's amazing how I can still so vividly remember what I was doing when it happened.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost someone during these attacks.

Sooo it didn't save it as a .gif like it was supposed to when I uploaded it. Ah well. At least I'm messing with code so it doesn't matter.

One Year Later

One year ago the Gulf Coast was changed forever. Hurricane Katrina shattered lives and the way people live around the Gulf Coast for many years to come. I don't think there will ever be the "old normal" there is now a "new normal" for the many down there.

I thought I'd share a couple photos of what I saw when I volunteered back in December. Seeing pictures from a year later and some that were taken back in December it's really shocking to see not much has changed.

Just remember these people still need thoughts/prayers, just them knowing that people still think about them helps them get through the day.

It's kind of blurry but my digital camera wouldn't focus zoomed in that far.

So sorry it has the watermark on it. I refuse to buy new software until I get a new computer which will be soon I think.

So enjoy my dog having fun after a bath.
