yo man, i just saw you on CNN... there were 611 yt0visitors... then a couple minutes later there were already like 1360. way to be. im in pennsylvania, and just wanted to say good luck with anything. let me know, and thousands of other people probably at this point, of what you might need. i think i'm a poor college student and have it so bad... but no way. every time i watch the news, i can't believe its real. it's a terrible tragedy, and it's great that someone is able to do something like you're doing. continue the posts (of your experience, your thoughts on the entire ordeal-government, etc, and also of your everyday life). it gives people great, real life insight. ok man, good luck. and keep up the good fight.

Welcome to H-town!! Stay as long as you like! Saw you on CNN and linked your blog to mine. Hope you don't mind. I donated clothes already so I can only hope you might get one of my shirts. God bless you and your family and my condolences on the loss of your cousin. Jesus has a plan for us all, make sure to make the most of it.
