LAST NIGHT , I WENT TO THE TIME 100 EVENT COZ THEY ADDED ME TO THE LIST OF 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF 2009, 


I SAW TAVIS SMILEY WHEN I WALKED IN AND SAID THANKS FOR STICKING YOUR NECK OUT AND BEING A REAL JOURNALIST, HIS PROGRAM WAS THE FIRST PROGRAM TO VOICE THE TRUTH ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IN SRI LANKA, WITHOUT FEAR OF CONSEQUENCES.  


THE NEXT PERSON I MET WAS OPRAH!!!!

M.I.A. you are very influential. Your music, style, the way you carry yourself, and your commitment to your people of Sri Lanka are all very inspiring. People are paying attention to what you say and they are taking notice. And little girls are looking at you and realizing that you don't have to be half naked to be taken seriously as an artist. And mommies everywhere are probably trying to be a little bit more stylish after seeing you at the Grammy's. Go girl. Congratulations.

Lady you have influence- it is a matter of what responsibility other are willing to share once they understand the circumstance. I wouldn't count on Opera to carry that torch far. She has a lot of influence, money and power- and most people with that are more concerned with keeping it then helping others find thier own. Remember- she helped Arnold get office...remember she turns a blind eye to a lot of issues that many people have brought to her attention- Look at Helen Caldicott

I watched the video and read the article, and my heart is breaking for the people of Sri Lanka. I had no idea that these things were happening. Somebody needs to protect these innocent people! I am crying right now but I want to thank you for speaking out, the world needs to know about this! Maya, you are amazing...

you deserve the recognition...... I sincerely hope that the issues are brought to the spotlight NOW! It is crazy that this kind of thing continues and is being covered up. You are inspiring to so many. A talented person, and a person who is true to yourself. All the best M.I.A. x

Influence appears evident in the content of your blog. Many issues were addressed in a concise way. I wish you the best, loved "Paper Planes", Swagger Like Us, and your performance on the Grammys. It must have been a first for someone to do that on the due date there. I was a kind of concerned. Well, best wishes to you. Cheers.
