In memory of Carter Albrecht

Damn it.....once more....I wrote this long ass post with a trip down the west wing and thru the archives to refference the dictionary by Webster, to spell some crap to explain what you said one day , a few years back, the words were repeated to me after the fact cause , thats how we roll, the majority of things should go unspoken, since we linguist's find the best way to butcher the english language into chopped bites for our easy consumation......any way I never approached you to question or reference for my resume....WHY...cause like everyone around you we took for granted your presence, and no one had imagined you would'nt be guiding and setting standards like you had before. The things you said in my story are one branch, and I know you enriched so many others.

damn

happy birthday my friend. miss you.

just saw a picture that hal samples posted that sent my pendulum swinging in the dark direction. quite simply, it is revolting to me that we live in our abundance and do as little as we can to help those who are in a state of devastation. as a society we find ways to waste money setting up foundations and beuracracies to do the work we as individuals don't have the time or heart to do. sam kennison used to joke about the organizations filming the starving kids and ask the question, "why don't they just give them a sandwich?" well, why not? don't get me wrong, i know good and well the good some of the organizations and foundations do. that's not the real jumping off point to me. what i mean is, we can't leave it at that. we have so much hunger and homelessness in our own back yard and on our own streets. and we walk right by and sometimes over it, hoping and praying they don't ask us for anything.


well today and all weekend i challenge you to join me in a miss a meal campaign. give up one meal a day on saturday and sunday and go deliver a meal to someone who can't provide it for themselves. find them. it isn't that hard. don't leave it up to someone else to do. the small hunger you feel by your sacrifice will help you remember why you are doing it. hunger sucks.

i suggest you go with a friend. try to speak to the person you choose to help, if they are willing or able. most people at this point begin to get uncomfortable. good. get outside your comfort zone. it is getting to the point that humans are so disconnected that if a dog was in the street, it is more likely to get help than a human. i am not suggesting that dogs aren't woth it. i think you understand me.

so pick a meal to miss and encourage a friend or neighbor to do the same. share this note with every friend you have by posting it on your profile, reposting the bulletin, and emailing it to your address book.

quite a show last night. i bet you are smilin

Photos from the listening party are here ....

Carter, Carter, Carter! Nothing more

sure do miss you kid
