This morning I woke up early to go to Habitat for Humanity. My friends and I were told to go to a Church, and from a distance you could not tell it was a Church. It was so run down that if I had leaned my hand against on its walls it would probably topple over. Behind the Church was a cemetery for Native Americans and African Americans. And our job was to rake the leaves, pick out all the weeds, gather all the branches, and straighten up the graves. Meanwhile I thought we would be building houses for the poor like we did last time. The stench was horrible; I could not put my finger on it. Later I found out that it was onion grass. I want to know who puts a graveyard on soil filled with onion grass! So after pulling the weeds out, I decided to rake for awhile. As I was raking there was a mound of dirt, and it looked like the grave had just been covered. This was odd because the date read July 12, 2001, and her name was Anisa. I guess my eyes played a trick on me, because I read Anita, and since it is the same day as my birthday… it still makes me shiver when I think of it. And if that wasn’t bad enough, I got scared again when I was picking up leaves. There had been a large branch underneath it. So my friend came up behind me and he stepped on the branch which shot right out of the leaves! It looked like someone was coming out of the ground. And that is when I decided that we should leave. Four hours at a cemetery will really get to you.

After a very depressing afternoon, I came home and went online. I went to the usual site where I listen to Tata's song's, and guess what they had it updated. They have all his new songs. Tata knows how to make Anita smile. They updated Aram Asatryan, Charles Aznavor, I think even Cher. And at the bottom they had a new category called Soul- Arthur Ispirian. It's about time they added that category. But I already have the cd, so HA!
