Rock Against Domestic Abuse: New York

I recently teamed up with my gorgeous friend, Michelle, to start a MySpace campaign for RADA of NY. It's still in its early stages, but I can confidently say that it's going very well and will be a big success.

Those who have read about my struggles will understand why I'm taking on this project and my desire to help those who have the same problems I once did.

It is still uncertain whether or not I will be performing, but the chances are pretty good. I have several friends who will be part of the show too, Dropclutch being one of the many bands we're booking.

Show date(s) will not be announced for at least a couple more months.

Your support would be greatly appreciated. More on this later.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is a busy day for me, as I am spending it with friends and family, and then have to work this evening before that whole Black Friday thing starts up (ugh!). I'd just like to take a moment to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Eat hearty, let your family and friends know how much they mean to you, and enjoy the holiday.

Manic Monday #3

What is your least favorite day of the week and why?
Monday.. that's when the work week starts up. Ugh!

What's the best way to end the day?
With a beer, of course! (No, I'm not an alcoholic.)

Which animal would you have left out of the ark?
Maggots. That's the only animal I'm afraid of. Horrendous.

R.I.P. Snakey

My little Snakey passed away this morning.. and I'm not sure why.

I just had him out yesterday. He was happy and cuddly like always, and he enjoyed the bath I gave him. When I returned him to his tank, it was the right temperature and he was perfectly fine.. But when I came home from work this morning, I found him in an awkward position- body as it normally is, head twisted and throat facing up. It almost looked like he broke his own neck or something.

Concerned, I picked him up and his posterior half was limp while his head and neck remained in the same general position. I straightened him out and he was obviously dead.. But WHY? I just can't figure it out.

He was a great little friend, went with me everywhere. He was so cool and laid back. He would let anyone touch him if they wanted.

Maybe I'm a little too emotional about this, but he was MY snake, MY little friend, and now he's gone. I feel like a little piece of me is missing.

Happy birthday, Agent J

Today is J's 27th birthday.. and plans for the day include NO WORK and GETTING TRASHED. Beer and pizza, three meals. Maybe jello shots if we're feeling ambitious.

My 99 Bloggers Debut

I was surprised to receive a group blog invite to 99 Bloggers yesterday, and because this is a great opportunity to get my name out there more, I couldn't turn it down.

I'll be writing mostly about music and blogging, but if I find that I want to write something different that I feel strongly about, I'll step outside the box for a little while.

My first post- Raivyn joins 99 Bloggers

Poll: Did you dress up for Halloween this year?
