...............St VINCENTS SCHOOL FOR ORPHANS WHO ARE HANDICAPPED........

in PORT AU PRINCE/PRINCIPE, HAITI- the poorest country in the WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

A simple photograph. You could have taken it. No big deal. not the point!

I visited the school/hospital and donated what i could in this tumultuous city
Port Au Prince. Good for me.. im Terrific!!!!

I put these and hundreds of other similar images here so you can see there are people who are not holiday shopping
on NONSENSE, on absolute garbage and unnecessary things you dont need.
Who cant move around the world like you can.
who suffer who starve who are in pain who are needy for things you take for granted.

The peoplethat i have shown you........... those who can walk, yet stumble and fall and get help and get picked up again and go on walking..................
these people dont get in fine cars and go to MALLS and get everything their heart desires................

I've shown you people who have no bodies left.
Ive shown you people who cant walk
cant use their hands
many who dont survive

this teenager born severely deformed still can smile. She has no arms and very tiny legs. She is pretty and quite polite and well mannered and not entitled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for those very few reading so far.......... 2 of you maybe ::::::::stick with me ill get to the point soon.....................

first..............shut off this absolutely monotonous repetitious moronic music you listen to for a few moments.... done simply to numb and dumb your senses ............................
lets un dumb you ...................un numb you .............................

lets focus on the lyrics and phrases you hear in these songs on the radio in 2009!
"love" in every sentence. Love this love that love her love him left her left him
loved loving will love dont stop loving me love you love ya love ya love ya love ya love ya love and what not......................................
i didnt or dont love you now but i did yesterday" cant let you go" and &
and "dont stop loving me" and " la la la la la love ya love ya love ya"
and " i want you to know i couldnt love you better but im better than she is"
and " i cant make it with out you" and " la la la give it up give it give it up ".

do you get the point???????????????????

This is not about LOVE. This has nothing to do with LOVE.

It is basically electronic misuse of the essence of real LOVE.


LOVE songs meant to really make you cry and feel pain dont say it
in every sentence.

why kill LOVE? in a song. One of the nicest art forms man has invented to communicate love, passion ,pain, deep pain about loss and loves' merits and its destroyed today.

No respect given to its essence and thats why the kids world and the rest of todays western world i think is in such a mess. Im not saying everyone. I am including a great percentage of it though.
love is treated like a commodity. Like it can be bought and sold..........
its equated with lust
its equated with self esteem
its equated wtih self adulation
the point is it gets lost in the horrible
translation of todays music culture and many of the rhythms of society.
Look at the divorce rate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A great love song is written metaphorically.


today it is written misanthropically
misogynistically and loses the essence of communicating LOVE ...........real meaningful heartfelt painful LOVE to its audience with this STUDIO OVERLY DONE
SAMPLING of the same words over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until it means nothing.

You think writing a love song is easy.
Its not!
You think being in love is easy its not
you think losing love is easy its hell...........................................................

do you feel all this pain or pleasure when you listen to these overly studiod monotonous songs.................???????????????????????


secondly stop for a second the hopping up and down and moving your arms cheeringly at some teenage idol on a stage as if your world
is just about idealizing someone else THAT YOU YES YOU i MEAN YOU basically created. As if thats your maximum capacity or potential in your lifetime.

This has made you stop from moving ahead and realizing your true human potential.


This aint bout love dude. This aint Kooooooooooooooooool dude and what not. This aint awesome. and this young lady is not a bitch.

look at the world around your small little self centered one.

Realize there are Billions of people in the world who have it real bad. real bad.
i mean really bad. just because it aint your fault dont mean it aint something you can do about it....................


become a person that does something to touch other people.

you will take yourself more seriously. Most Americans dont take themselves seriously. Most other nations dont take
Americans seriously either .........................they know we had the money the democracy but they have more culture than we do.............................my opinion.


Go and meet her one day in the future. She can talk. She can laugh. She might even dance to your music.

Widen your little world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that my friends is LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Port au PRINCE

The poorest country in the western hemisphere.

travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_917.html


One of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, Haiti in recent years has struggled with problems ranging from near-constant political upheaval, health crises, severe environmental degradation and an annual barrage of hurricanes, which killed an estimated 800 people and caused vast damage in 2008.

Haiti occupies an area roughly the size of Maryland on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Nearly all of the 8.7 million residents are of African descent and speak Creole and French. The capital is Port-au-Prince.

The country is, by a significant margin, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, with four out of five people living in poverty and more than half in abject poverty. Deforestation and over-farming have left much of Haiti eroded and barren, undermining subsistence farming efforts, driving up food prices and leaving the country even more vulnerable to natural disasters. Its long history of political instability and corruption has added to the turmoil.
