Obama told the CEOs that are receiving OUR money on loan--the $700 Billion bailout that they have to limit their pay to only $500,000 a year and that they can NOT sell their stock in the company until they pay ALL of their piece of the $700 Billion back to the American people.

And here they are whining about how life ain't fair. Tough shit rich bitches

At least you ain't on the fucking streets! At least you ain't homeless or in poverty! So you can't buy million dollar homes or eat at fancy restaurants because you only make $500,000 a year now? Wow.

If you can manage to live off of $500,000 a year then maybe you NEED to live on the streets for awhile.

Since February is a short month, the zine is being published a couple of days early!

Our feature homeless organization is The Homeless Network again because new information has been added to it. If you are homeless and in the US, but you are NOT an American Citizen OR you have lost your naturalization papers, green cards, etc, new info has been added for YOU.

THN has also been noticed by the Federal agency www.samhsa.gov (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) as a homeless resource help site!

The Elegance Boutique, Tangles Beauty Bar and DeeTangles Trendz are featured as well since they are a huge support to Art4TheHomeless (I have my art up for sale in the shop and will donate some of my proceeds to local shelters in the Atlanta-Decatur area) so stop by and check them out! They are in my Myspace Top Friends! ADD them!

Our feature artists are all from Zazzle.com, a website where anyone can upload anything and make a work of art from the image. My Zazzle site is dedicated to using profits to aid shelters in the US.

Stop and take a look at their stuff. They are: Juliana from the Netherlands, Spikeman Designs from California, Zodiak Babes from Cuenca, Spain, and Cavity's Wedding and Obama designs!

Our feature musician is Dylan from Austrailia!

Our feature writer is myself. I am leaving the same few chapters up for anyone who hasn't had the chance to read them.


Thanks again yall for participating in Art4TheHomeless!

It was so tearful for my mother and myself. She is of the older generation where schools were segregated. It was unique as we sat there in our home watching CNN.

It really made my day yesterday when CNN reported that Obama was helping out in a homeless shelter for teens. I am glad he hadn't forgotten the homeless Americans while trying to help the middle class. NO one wants to talk about the ones who are below middle class. It is like people are too afraid or ashamed to speak about the fact that the average age of a homeless American is nine years old or that the majority of the people you see sleeping on the streets once put on a uniform and served this country.

I am inspired to do much more with Art4TH though I am not sure what direction I want to take it in. I am planning to add on to The Homeless Network and you will soon see what I am doing.

My Zazzle Gallery has been selling art! I only get so much royalty from the sales and have made around $15! Not much, but better than last year when I got paid $2.00 and some change that I just put with a sale to help out.

Anyway, the shelter that will benefit is the Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless. If you would like to purchase art to help the homeless, you can choose from the panel below!

I have been so busy. I have my art down in Little 5 and am working with three different business owners in the same shop on web design and marketing, working at my job, taking my mom to her doc's appointments, trying to keep the webzine published on time, and keep up with Art4TheHomeless. It seems to be taking off.

I am booked on musicians for the zine until April! This is fantastic! I am booked with Zazzle artists until June!! I still need writers and have been using my own stuff and a few friends.

I want to make sure The Homeless Network is well known so if anyone needs help they can find it. That includes any of you.

I feel so blessed!

I have an interesting piece of art I just finished. It is on canvas. It is the Japanese symbol for love and the English word, "Love". It is multimedia: acrylic, calligraphy, pen/ink, ribbons, and beads.

I am taking it down to Little 5 Points to sell. I will price it at $45.00. Enjoy!

I am so confused. There is this guy that I like and he knows I like him. He thinks I am too young or whatever. I like him. Errr can't get him out of my head. So I will be going to look for another job just to get myself out of a situation. Tell me how strange this is:

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by one of my coworkers. He asked if I liked lemonade...My reply was that yeah, it tastes okay, but I prefer pink lemonade to the regular....

Everyone just stopped what they were doing and looked at me as if I crashed landed in from the roof or said that I was a vampire or something odd like that...come to find out...dude i like...that's his nickname....I wonder how it got out that I liked him since I haven't told anyone except a few friends in other states.

I seriously doubt that he will read this blog so I am being bold and posting my feelings on here :)

Last night he gave me a ride home. Most people usually have rap/r&b or rock...he played Zydeco! Sweet! I am from Louisiana and grew up listening to Zydeco. It would be played at the State Fair, festivals and such. I like him even more now!

I am not that young btw...I am 26 and not sure of his age, yeah I know, you like someone you gotta find out everything about them or so says some of my friends. I would rather just let my crush come to me in a conversation and find out things about him instead of asking around, but that is just me.

Gotta work today so I, as usual, will try to keep my cool. My friend thinks I should be aggressive and under normal circumstance I am aggressive when it comes to getting what I want, but what I want is for him to like me, but I know since he doesn't like me, then there is nothing I can do. You can't make people like you so I am not even going to embarrass my self in that way.
