OMG! I had found it too. Bringing over: jo19844(bananaface) @adamlambert Last year my friend dean was bashed and left in the street by a group of people who thought it was okay to do that because he was gay. He had cigarette burns put into his face and was beaten so badly he was unconscious for three days and in hospital for a lot longer.
When he came back out he cut his ties with his family and his friends, broke off his relationship with his boyfriend because he didn’t want to be with anyone - he lost trust completely. After that he found it hard to cope and thought the only way out was to end his life. Fortunately, he did survive and when he tried it a second time he just made it through. Now he is in a secure unit for his depression and working on getting better.
I wanted you to know that part of his recovery is your music and the lyrics and message in Aftermath really helps him through. It took him a long time to come out and be honest about it and he was met with so many obstacles - after the attack he even told himself it wasn’t okay to be who he was and felt out of place in his own skin. Now he's getting back to that place where he knows its okay and he is beautiful (i tell him every time) and everything will be okay because it will get better if he sticks around long enough to let it . He has friends to get him through and we will be here for him always no matter how many times he pushes us away and when we get our Dean back, the one that has a smile so big it almost cracks his face in two, I want you to know you had a huge part in that. We will get him back and even if he's never exactly the same as he was before it's better than not having him at all.
The work you do and the message you send is so VERY important; it can save lives, it can help people and even fix people when they think they are broken. Thank you .xx No words.  |

I've seen multiple people ask how you "gift" the Aftermath remix and the only way, as I see it (cuz there is no way on the site to do so), is to purchase separate downloads of it & make a copy and send it to who you want! At least, that way you won't be illegally doing so, cuz you are allowed to make a copy of legally purchased media (& you won't be taking away from the charity and/or Adam), from what Ive learned! Please let me know if I'm incorrect!  I read that you just need the person's email address; you put that in where it asks for email and then use all your own information (financial, etc.). The d/l will go to that person's email. |

Wow -- that tweet message to Adam was truly powerful, and it shows what a difference he is making in so many lives. Having someone like him around when I was younger would have made a difference in my life -- and it's making a difference now. OT but hilarious article (you must read the last sentence) about one of the state senators in WI. Whoops -- don't mess with the women! www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/13/wi-repub-lives-outside-district-with-mistress-says-wife/  |

OMG!! That is hilarious, but is the one who opened the door still hanging there? That's like that ~cat burglar vid. If there is something bizarre or missing in your house ... put a spycam on the cat. Nope, he or she was the third one out the door (took a few rewinds and pauses to make sure ) |

Love the housebreaking cats. And I only posted so I could see my avi. I changed it again because I like seeing the stool. 8-)
