#beatcancer LET'S DO IT.

Using Social Media to Beat Cancer – #beatcancer

According to twitter, and and beatcancer.org, "For each mention of the hashtag, eBay/PayPal and MillerCoors will donate one cent to breast cancer research. People can tweet it, add it to their Facebook status, or blog about it . . . it all counts. And it would seem that thousands of people are more than willing to be part of this impressive, hopefully record breaking social media blast!"

twitter trends make me laugh.

"YO PATRICK SWAYZE I KNOW YOU JUST DIED & ALL & IMMA LET U FINISH, BUT MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH WAS THE BEST ONE THIS YEAR!" - Kanye West

People are so clever. But yeah, if you're confused, the "YO PATRICK SWAYZE I" trend was a joke based on the stint that Kanye played on Taylor Swift at the VMAs when he took the microphone away from her during her acceptance speech for "Best Female Video." What he did was inappropriate, and overall rude, and it pissed me off. I wouldn't be surprised if he really did say this about Patrick Swayze.

#lilmamais was a trend yesterday and I loved reading what everyone was saying about her. "She be T-Paining!" HAHA. oh gosh. I really didn't watch the VMA's but twitter kept me in check with what was going on.

OHH, and this video made me laugh. Kanye is just interrupting everyone now, isn't he!?

Also, RIP Patrick Swayze. Dead at 57. He was honestly one of my favorite actors. Ghost and The Outsiders are movies that I will never get sick of. I will miss him. My prayers go out to his family, I know how hard it is to lose someone to cancer. You know, they give Pancreatic Cancer patients 6 months to live. My grandma battled it for a year, and Patrick battled for even longer. They gotta change numbers in the books!

don't depend on your GPS.

My parents took me with them on this East Coast trip mainly because I asked them if I could go to California ON MY OWN because I had planned to go to FAP (Featured Acoustic Playlist) many months ago. However, my mom refused and basically tried to make me feel better by buying me a ticket to go with her, my dad, and little sister to Baltimore for THEIR conference.

Yeah, I was really mad. I won't even start. I thought my summer was ruined, but whatever, I just tried to make the best out of it. Don't get me wrong, I love traveling with my family, but this was the summer before I start Nursing School and I wanted to do something ON MY OWN for once, while I still can. But that crashed and burned.

My dad ticked me off ALOT during this trip. Once again, I won't even start. But on the positive side, I had some fun. My sister lost her camera though, and lost a bunch of pictures that I liked, but I'm slowly getting over it. Ok oops, on the positive side, I DID HAVE SOME FUN.

Hopefully once I turn 21, they will loosen up.

Lincoln Memorial! Good thing I took MY camera to DC. I went on a tour with my sister. It was fun. Except, she was being a butt because she wasn't as appreciative as I was.

New York City sunset. The drive to New York was a nightmare. Mostly because my Dad has a short temper and every little mistake we made, he got mad. GRR!

RIP Michael Jackson.

So, I received a text from my little cousin today that Michael Jackson passed away and at first I thought he was just joking because all the text said was "Michael Jackson dead." Never in a million years would I have thought it would happen so soon.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson because when I was younger, I spent a great deal of my time watching music videos on MTV or Vh1. That was my absolute most favorite thing to do. I would also spend time popping in different cassette tapes into the player, or try to get my Dad's old records to work.

MUSIC was my life. Still is my life. I would go home from school, and watch music videos. I could remember watching the music video for "Thriller" so vividly and I absolutely loved it. Also the video for "Remember the Time" with Eddie Murphy and Iman, that was one of my favorites as well. In 2002, when I saw that music video for "You Rock my World" with Chris Tucker and Usher, I felt that was his comeback and I loved him more than ever.

I can't name them all but thinking about it makes me tear because these are memories of my childhood. I loved Michael, he was amazing. I honestly had a big crush on him.

All those movies and interviews portraying him as a pedophile just kills me. I watched them all but I never once believed he would do such a thing and it hurts to know that he passed away without cleaning his slate. I was at my friend Resa's house earlier and she told me that Michael did not get a chance to experience his childhood to the fullest because his life was wrapped around fame and getting to the top. Now at his age, he was just trying to get a part of his life that was taken away from him.

There were times when I did say mean things. I thought he was going crazy. I thought he made mistakes. From the dangling of his baby off the building, to the way he handled some of the situations he was put in. I think I gave up on Michael. I never thought of him for months until a couple days ago when David Choi made a cover of his song, Ben. Now today, he's gone, and he's all I could think about.

Reminds me of when Pope John Paul passed away. I couldn't stop thinking of him. Wishing that I had seen him or met him, before he left. Same with Michael. Now, I won't have that opportunity. This is really teaching me a lesson about life and death. We cannot wait for people to die to appreciate them for what they accomplished on earth or to express your love for them. That's taking them for granted and I do that all the time, I admit it. My pride and selfishness gets in the way of my true feelings sometimes. It's all a process of getting older and I am slowly learning to get the fuck over it.

On the way home in Resa's car, it was MJ on the radio and I told her to change the station because it made me sad. Next station, MJ.

RIP Michael, you made a big impact on my life and I can't thank you enough.
