Hello all!

I have decided to partake in the Revlon run for women’s cancer on May 9th in Los Angeles. I have a few friends who have fought breast cancer. My oldest brother passed away from brain cancer so it’s only fitting when i heard of the event to join! Its a 5K run/walk. I am looking to give more support to events like these! so if you hear of any let me know

29 tips to going green

Change begins at home!

Wasup People!!!!!!!

Ok so here’s my first step. I figure change begins in the home. My first step is recycling!! You know paper plastic glass containers and so forth. My friend Misty laughed at me last nite because Im not the greatest at sorting out plastic bottles and cardboard juice containers (recycling). I dont even know if my apartment building recycles even if i separated them and put them in the dumpster. I think I have to bring my container to a recycling center. I will figure that out this weekend. I also just realized my grocery bags. Im cutting out the use of those plastic grocery bags and grabbing up a couple go green reusable bags they sell at the supermarket! Check out these facts

* Between 500 billion and one trillion plastic grocery bags are consumed worldwide each year.

* About 100,000 birds  die annually from encounters with plastic bags,

* About 100,000 about whales, turtles, and other marine animals who suffer abysmal fates thanks to windblown plastic bags that pollute their environments.

* About 12 million barrels of oil are required to produce enough plastic bags to appease our needs

Paper bags and recycling paper bags are just as bad if not worse than plastic. The list goes one.  Im thinking by cutting out the use of plastic bags from the grocery store is a start and recycling by plastic containers and cardboard juice containers is a start.

***Any advice, help or just though from any one will be greatly appreciated****

My friend Michelle Gralow put me up on this site.. Thanks to her!. Check it the hell out!

A new Journey! -Please Read-

What is fricking up!!!!!!!

Ok so Im about to embark on a new journey, challenge if you will in life that I’ve named “Finding Forever” (Shout out to the common album!). Its my new found journey to make my life a more positive influence on humanity and the environment. Not an organization or foundation just me. I will be learning different ways to help better other people’s lives and the world around me. I will inquire advice and motivation from anyone who is willing to give. Please don’t be shy. Over the next 7 to 8 months I will be slowly getting better at it so on Jan 1st 2010 I will be running on all cylinders! I’m not sure what to expect or how hard this transformation will be but I hope what I’m doing becomes contagious. Check back on my blog and Facebook page to see updates to different things I’m involved in. There are a lot of different reasons as to what made me want to do this or do this now. To sum it up;

If ever I walk away

Or my heart decays

May my positive influence on life

Be as common as the cold!

Cheers!
