In my last post, I wished that I had time and the focus to pay attention to what was happening in Haiti instead of in my own hectic life.
Tonight, life is relatively quiet workwise, and I don't have to work this weekend, so I tuned in to the Hope for Haiti Telethon tonight, quite by accident.
As I watched tonight with tears streaming down my face, listening to the stories of despair and hope, I thought about a couple of things.
1. No matter how bad I think I have it, I was blessed to be born in the USA. I'm not always proud to be an American, but I was certainly blessed to have been born one.
2. It seems to me that the best parts of America come out when people are hurting. The tsunamai, 9/11, and Haiti prove that Americans care about other people more than their day-to-day lives.
3. I'm so going to buy the music from the telethon on iTunes. And I'm glad that it's going to help the people of Haiti.
4. Anderson Cooper is way hot. Especially when he attempts to speak French to small children rescued from the rubble.
5. George Clooney is also way hot. But he really needs to shave that beard and dye his hair.
6. Brad Pitt isn't even hot anymore. What is up with that horrible hair on his face?
