Help Kids Fight Cancer and Lukemia

About a year ago, my Aunt was diagnosed with Lukemia and Lung Cancer. My family and I were devastated. She's gone through sooo much and at the moment she still even has trouble walking, and always needs someone with her. She's on kemotherapy, which is the medicine that fights cancer, but your hair falls out. That also makes her very woozy, and she has a lot of trouble with her balance. Also, last June, Andrew McMahon, from the bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphatic Lukemia. They are both under treatment, and even with some of the best doctors, they're both still suffering with these diseases. Since both of these, I've been more aware of these types of diseases. As I was searching through some websites, I came across these awesome flip-flops that go great with any summer gear, and all donations go to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation to help kids fight these diseases. Even if you're no fan of Jack's Mannequin, purchase these flip-flops and let others be aware that there are many suffering. The flip-flops are black with blue writing that says in blue, "Jack's Mannequin......Project Flip-flop.......Walk For A Reason" To purchase a pair, either click this link, or type it in your search box.... http://www.zambooie.com/stores/Detail.tpl?cart=114633930017372029&sku=JMANFF100&st_id=96 Also, I have purchased this shirt myslef from my mom's hospital being sold by this little boy, Frankie who is also suffering Cancer. He's sooo little and sooo cute. Here are some pictures of the shirt, and links to the site you can go to to purchase one and help. Please help poor Frankie!! Thanks sooo much!!

hmmmm....

I'm tired, and I'm cold, and I think I have strep throat and a fever so I can't sing or drum. It may not hurt to play piano, though. I think drumming may be too loud for me. Not fair, either, cause this was supposed to be the day where I blasted the stereo, read a book, wrote some lyrics, drummed, and just chillaxed. Still waiting for my Something Corporate stuff to come :( Oh, well. I think I'ma go have some tea. No one even reads this anyway. Oh,well.....

No Feedback

Heyy!! Well, no feedback. I know I'm not interesting, it's okay. Last night I wrote a new poem. Here goes.....
IF I SAY GOODBYE

I see the wounds seeping through your eyes

The wetness against my cheek, from your cries

The sweat on your palms, from all the lies

The thoughts running through your head, from all that you despise

The curls in your hair---your disguise

The look in your eyes from all that dies

The burning of your soul, droned and fried

The binding of your heart, from all those guys

The butterflies from all goodbyes

The numbness of your body from all your highs

The fear of what's to come makes the hair on your neck rise

The pain and sorrow becomes slow sighs

The truth becomes lies of knots and ties

You push away all those who advise

Your wisdom becomes far away from wise

But only I am there to see how you feel

But there's no one there for real

Because the person I am with is me

I'm looking in the mirror, you see

No pretty face

Just a disgrace

Staring back, without a place

A place for me on this earth

There hasn't really been

Not since birth

Maybe I should let the angels take me away

The pain of others will decay

They will realize there was no use for me on this earth

There's nothing of me that is of worth

All these lies are just killing me

Breaking me

Taking thee

To a place of grief

If I'm gone, then to all a relief

The raging of crowds

The whimpers of tears

Will not happen for me

After all these years

And if they do, they will soon realise

That we were all made to die

So if you love me, let me know

If not, I'll be sure to go

I'll float away, with all my soul gone

Believe me, it won't take long

Give all my things to those in need

Therefore I'll know I've done a good deed

Whether I'm in Heaven, or I'm in Hell

I'm sure that you will all do well

If non of those exist, like we all belive

I still won't be back, no, not me

For I will soon be forgotten

Like all those who've been buried rotten

There will be a sour taste of me left

Just like all the rest

So like I said, if I am loved

Please tell me before I'm below or above

Tell me if you care

Show me if you'll really be there

If not, then my existance will soon be gone

So goodbye my loves, and don't drone on.



So that was my poem. Tell me what ya think about it. Luv it, loathe it, I dunno....Need feedback. That's all for today....

1st Blog. Some of my friends go on this, so I figured I'd check it out. xanga is actually where I pretty much post my life, but I guess I'll try this thing out for a while, and I'll see how long it lasts. I'm a drummer, and I play piano. Two things in which I luv mucho, but drumming just comes to me. I love writing lyrics, poetry, and I'm working on a novel. Drawing/sketching is also something I do often. During all these things, I'm usually listening to music. I actually can't sleep without music on. I'm an audio geek, I'll admit that, but I'm not as bad as others. Starting a mural in my basement, which is now my new place to drum :), but I don't know what to paint yet. I need ideas, so gimme feedback. That's about all from me today......L8r
