Wyclef Jean
Watch CBS Videos Online
This piece on Wyclef and his work in Haiti. Its a great testament to the man that, in an age of "look at my watch, car, clothes, etc." dominating his primary genre of music, he has chosen the route of giving back. Something he said here struck a familiar chord with me. He said: "Why me?. Why was I given so much when there are 10 million people here who could have gotten the opportunities I was given?". I ask myself the same question often. I'm not rich or famous by many standards. But by the standards of my relatives in Uganda, I am. I feel like I should be doing something bigger with my blessings. Take 12 minutes to watch this video.
Wyclef is an inspiration.

Welcome to my blog
I'm arrogant enough to think that people care what I think. I've spent the last year or so reading different blogs and I've finally decided that it could be fun. I intend to just post my thoughts and opinions. No subject will be soely focused on nor will any subject be off limits. Hopefully I can get enough people to read it so I'm not just one man shouting into the abyss. I'd like your feedback on anything you deem comment-worthy. I want my thoughts, opinions and assumptions challenged. Hopefully on the other end we can be better people for having freely exchanged ideas.
