F*uck the city of Gretna,LA

It is ashamed the way the people, mayor, police chief, and city council reacted in the wake of the Hurricane K disaster. I've read about the story, and have heard detailed accounts from evacuees who were attempting to leave the city of New Orleans by way of the Mississippi River bridge, and had there progress impeded by the chief of police. Recently, a city official of Gretna was on CBS' 60 minutes, and he gave reasons as to why this blockade was put into motion during one of the most hectic situations in recent memory that took place in the U.S.A. He said, that the looting, stories of rape, shootings, and burning of buildings that were taking place in New Orleans made them react in an incompassionate way. I agree, all of these events were taking place, but they were done by a minority of the evacuees. On that bridge to Grenta, people just wanted to leave the chaos, unrest, and find some place to feel safe again. 80% of my emotions tend to lean that this was racist in every way. Had those people on that bridge all be of European descent, they wouldn't have had any problem crossing that bridge to safety.

Though, the mayor said, The city of Gretna didn't have the means to accommodate all of the stranded residents of New Orleans in their city, and I agree with that. It still doesn't give them right to refuse passage across a state owned bridge, and besides, the evacuees who were attempting to make that trek where tired, weary, uneasy, hungry, women,children,elderly, and still they were refused entrance into Gretna. The white people in Gretna should be appalled at their actions, and should all be put in the same situation that my people faced on that dreadful day, but then, I am better than that. They should live a frugal life, and live with the fact that people were desperate for help, and their officials who represent them did not do a thing to help. Would you like to live in a place who felt that way about you? I wouldn't, and that's one of the reasons why I refuse to go back to LA. Let them have the place, and toil in their own hatred, I am through spewing my smoke on those chumps.

On to better things.

Dallas, TX Jingle jam was off the hook. Jeezy, TI, Bun B, Weezy, and others set it off in the Convention Center. We arrived late, around 7:25 are so. Webbie was on stage doing whatever it is he does. All I know, the crowd was excited to see him, and he put on a good 10 minutes that I saw. The ladies were looking pretty good, and I had the chance to see some of the best in Big D. They didn't disappoint, they were dancing, showing their thongs and shit. You know doing what they do to let loose.

It was my first time actually seeing one of my former classmates perform since he has been in the music industry. I must say that I was proud of the guy. He has made himself a success, and he's good at rapping. All in all, Jezzy impressed me the most. I didn't know that his debut cd rocked that hard. I want a copy of that Thug Motivation. In attendance was a mixed crowd, as I knew it would be. It's the young generation of consumers that is keeping the hip-hop industry close to the top, and by that I mean the youthful white people. Many people were from the Boot. New Orleans was in effect from the outset. They had everything New Orleans loves; mary jane, scantily clad females, young thugs with gold and platinum in their mouths, a fight, loud music, and the chance to see some homies show each other love.
The night was pretty good; partially because I was trying to leave with a 10 female, but because I ate Whataburger. A meal I haven't had since the beginning of the month.
til next time. hunt for the kill to save the starving villagers, and roam safely in the wilderness
