Hey guys, I'm in a program called Extra Life, which is a charity donation to sick children with the help of video gamers around the globe. They have done this several times in the past and the results were great. My goal is to reach $100, but I have only made $25 with the help of a friend and I'm in need of support.

Here is the link: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=cms.home

If you want to donate to me, let me know and I'll send you a private PM to my real name to you so you can donate to there.

Thanks so much, and looking forward to seeing you help save lives. ;)

Due to the recent spamming of comments in my previous posts from anonymous people speaking in Russian or in broken English fragmented sentences, I've decided to have the comments to FRIENDS ONLY.

I've grown tired of coming into my email knowing that someone in Russian is spamming something about irrelevant material I could live without. I suggest you all do the same. We really should have this in LJ to begin with, honestly.

If you wish to comment from now on and are new, you must add me.

That is all.

To our own country, celebrating 235 years of independence, capitalism, cheeseburgers, and furries!

God Bless America!

(And Canada too...) ;)

Yep. I'm finally back home from grandmother's funeral, and I was really tuckered out after the long trip - which was about noon, our time in NC.

Grandma really made a nice job on making the funeral for herself - choosing the coffin, the type of burial dress, etc., as well as the nicest bunch of people we had to encounter that grandma had touched all through her years and the people who tended to her funeral. Just very thoughtful people, and I was really admired by them. It was a great funeral farewell, and I can't think of anything perfect than that.

After each funeral day, I became more increasingly tired, but held it through until the very end on Wednesday night. You can imagine wearing a suit and tie all day, and wished you could've worn a shirt, shorts, and sneakers for the hot sun. :p

But, anyways, I think back at all grandma had done in the past, and reflect this on my own. She always wanted to make friends during her old age, and being a devout Catholic and making the most meanest Apple Strudel you would ever tasted in your life, she got what she wanted. I'm happy now that she's in a better place and I think she'll be making more of her Apple Strudels in Heaven, and she gave us something to smile about.

Thanks, grandma, for giving me this gift of joy and happiness... I'll miss you...

Just to break the mold out of my sadness a little, I present to you, Super Justice!:

 My mom got the call this morning about my grandmother. We will be attending her funeral Tuesday through Thursday.

Current Mood: sad

I went to see my grandma on her bed on Monday. She looked very sick and tired, and had a bit of trouble breathing, but she was hanging on very well and she can eat all of her food. It was nice of her to recognize me, when she smiled at me and waved. She didn't wanted to talk but just sleep.

My dad will be going back there with my mom sometime this week to check up on her.

Current Mood: hopeful

Last afternoon, while coming home from work, my mom had called me and left a message on my cellphone, telling me about my grandmother wasn't feeling too well. She had pneumonia, and she's worsening by the minute, and in her age of 96, she's getting to the point as to not recognize anybody around her. To make things worse, my mom said she might not hold out much longer...could be days, weeks, months... :(

I was deeply very saddened by this, and called her straight away when I got home. I'm planning on meeting my grandmother on Monday, and I have taken Monday off from work to go see her. My dad and I will be on a plane to Illinois and back on that same day.

Looking back, it has been a good few years seeing grandma as old as she was, and the good times we had whenever she came down to visit with us as a family. Now, being the last of my grandparents, I'm going to feel a bit lonely with her gone. But, I know that in my heart, that she lived a great life throughout the years during my childhood and adulthood, and she'll be going to meet up with my other grandparents.

Looks like most of my friends are not going to go to AC this year since many of the hotels have been booked, which means I won't be going either. Not to mention, Drake had to work in Ohio for another anime con, but alas, I have no money to go to either.

And besides, me, my dad, and perhaps my mom will be going to Vegas at the end of July...

Hope to make it to AC next year though. Otherwise, see me at FWA by then. ;)

Current Mood: contemplative

I'll be going to my yearly anime con with my friend, Drake, and his brother at Raliegh, NC this coming Thursday, and will be leaving sometime on Sunday. Come say hi, if you're a fursuiter, or I'll find you and give you a great big hug. ;)

Either way I hope you all have fun whoever is going and partying at the dance floor. ^^

See you all there! ;)
