here we go.
One Less Drink
I just have to put the fun aside for a moment…
As I write the Red Cross estimates over 45,000 dead. That’s an entire stadium. This is the worst disaster in the western hemisphere. It’s even worse than the 2004 tsunami that hit Thailand. Who knows what the final estimate will be a week from now. Some estimate over 100,000.
Why should we help Haiti? If you have trouble making this connection then consider Haiti’s history. I’m no historian or political expert but like you I have some basic understanding about military power and the capitalistic drive that maintains our first-world version of freedom and wealth. The U.S., France, England, Spain, the Dutch, Germany, and many other European countries have built their world power crusading and exploiting the world over. This has ultimately produced the people of the Caribbean as we know it. It’s like the mob going legit after they’ve sold off their empire. Like it or not you and I enjoy this- indirectly.
One word- RESPECT. To feel for them during this crisis is having a sense of humanity. To respect is to support. To support is to give. President Obama announced a $100 million relief package today. Compare that to the $1 billion it cost (at its max) per day for U.S. occupation in Iraq for the last 7 years. Surely we can put aside our personal interests for just one second to do the right thing.
This weekend. One less drink. Please give.
Some facts about Haiti.

Jamie T
I don’t know why I’m into this London Cockney punk-ass bloke Jamie T. Maybe it’s the urban punk drunk folk vocals but not a total slop cuz he can be real tight with the hooks jungle mc-style. Is this kid for real? Real like drunken kung-fu. Good enuff for me. This album came out in August 2007. He’s got a new release but I’ve not yet heard it yet. Here’s my favourite 3 on the album:
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Maybe cuz it’s a throwback to new wave punk from the late 80s and early 90s. Maybe the choice of words for song titles and band name. This bleeds EXTREME EMO and never-never land. EXTREME. EMO.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Terenga Jul 30 2009
The wall of sound that grips you in the palm of a hand the size of a bed, rolls you like sushi then unleashed into a jello like wiggle cuz it’s not enough to bump the head the body pounds pavement like a flapjack all ass-wacked and u still get up cuz the track crosses over to the next while ur blood cells pulse in-line dreaming of yogic soldiers throwin down sun salutations to speaker gods and firewire usb groupies.. FUCKKK… diving oblivion, no question no answers. glitched out dubstep i’m underneath it. Terenga. AMEN.
Mochipet. Was so busy groovin I didn’t even get a pic of him!
