After looking at the Warren Buffet special on CNBC the other night and after that I started to watch in HBO the Comic Relief special something just popped up in my head “Katrina Victims” I don’t know why but it just happened. Later on I started to think how much those people have suffered and the living conditions that they are having to get used to in a day-to-day. I remember seeing in the Comic Relief special that they were building houses for those victims for something like $49,000 or something like that and then I thought about how many of those houses can be built if every Billionaire in the United States of America (which if I can recall it right Forbes magazine list the richest people in the US and I think is well over 100 if I’m not mistaken) donated $1 Million dollars to rebuilt the area, to help those families rebuild houses, or get new houses for them, I might not be a Finance guru but I would assume that $1 Million for a Billionaire is like pocket change for them plus I know for a fact that if they were to do that then that donation would be a tax write off and they will get it back which means that they are loosing no money and they will be helping the great cause. Let’s think about it if only the top 100 richest people of the US donate $1 Million then we’ll have $100 Million to rebuild or build houses (about 20 of those $49,000 houses if my math serves me right per $1 Million so we are talking over 2,000 housing units) there can be a whole lot that can be done with that kind of money. Don’t have to give it to an organization to handle that task find someone, some CEO to oversee the handling of that money to make sure that it is used to for the purpose that it was set out to be. So basically what I’m trying to do is call out all of those people that have those resources to put them into play and let’s help those people get their lives back in order. Some people have a givers heart like me but most of us don’t have a givers wallet to do it.
Jose,

I Love You Even Though I Know
I love you even though I know
You show no love for me.
Your eyes are icy springs that feed
My hidden ecstasy.
All night I hold you in my arms
And sleep in your embrace.
All day I turn away from life
To gaze upon your face.
Alone I find within my heart
A black and raging sea,
For only you, beloved one,
Can calm my Galilee.

I Find My Happiness in Loving You
I find my happiness in loving you.
Though my love is not returned, I don't mind waiting.
The woods are a cathedral where I pray
For the beauty and grace that lie within my heart.
You hold me and we kiss, and yet not yet
Is there the unity that love must crave.
You want me, but not as I want you:
This truth is like a wreckage on my sea.
There's no one else I hunger for, nor touch
That makes me feel I must take off my skin;
And so I'll wait as years pile up like leaves,
And long with the lonely patience of the moon.

Thank You for Being the Heart of My Life
Thank you for being the heart of my life,
Harboring me in the arms of your love,
Anchoring me in the rock of your faith,
Needing me, that I not be in vain,
Knowing me well, yet loving me still.
You are the island I've found in my sea,
Ocean I dwell in and deep where I dive,
Unfailing heaven and passionate earth.

I Don't Know How We Get into These Fights
I don't know how we get into these fights.
After them I look back at the ashes
More shocked than hurt, as when a light plane crashes,
Slanting numb through strange, unearthly lights.
Oh, how I wish I could get off that plane
Rushing to its rendezvous with tears!
Rage is but a mask for my shy fears.
Yet I would die before I caused you pain.

Even Though We Fight a Lot, I Love You
Even though we fight a lot, I love you.
We fight, I think, because the stakes are high.
I sometimes get so mad I cannot stand you,
But underneath my anger I could cry.
I have an uncontrolled need to control you,
To be your only destiny and guide.
I know it isn't fair to try to mold you,
But my poor love's entangled in my pride.
Ah, love! Please love me even in my fury,
Which rises like a tide beneath the moon.
I plead before my only judge and jury:
I want to change, but know change won't come soon.
Love finds it hard to let the loved one be
The person who is loved so passionately.
