My horrible birthday weekend..
Jesus, where to start? Well I’m writing this two or three days late because this is the first time I’ve been out of bed in about 30 hours. My body has been beaten up over the last week both inside and out. I’m currently fighting off what seems to be a cold that refuses to get out of my system. Accompany that with the fact that I stepped on something (might have been glass?) that had my foot bleeding saturday night and can hardly walk and you can imagine that I’m a sight for sore eyes at the moment.
For those that don’t know, my birthday was September 14th.. and I don’t see how it could have went down more horrible than it did. Quite possibly the worst birthday I’ve ever had. I spent the entire weekend calling my friends and family, praying to God that they all survived hurricane Ike. I was born on Galveston Island, and 90% of the people I know on this earth live within 10-15 minutes of Galveston. Needless to say it was a pretty shakey time for me and my family, but everyone seemed to turn out okay.
A lot of people I know were directly affected by this disaster. For those of you who forgot my birthday, I don’t blame you.. but instead I’d ask you to simply donate $10, $5.. anything you can give to make sure these people can get the medical care they need and get a chance to rebuild their homes. If I could even get just $1 from every friend I have on Myspace, that’d be over $40,000 to assist Galveston in its relief. Thank you for your time and I hope that you can see it in your heart to give a small donation to help this effort.
To donate, go to my Myspace page at www.myspace.com/ejthemc. There’s a donation widget for Music For Relief on my page.
By the way, I spoke with my mother today (who lives 5-10 minutes away from Galveston) and she told me that not only can they not find gas anywhere in the area, but people from Galveston are literally camping out at gas stations, sleeping in their cars, because Galveston is still blocked off by emergency relief vehicles. They’re still without electricity, 4 days after the hurricane is over. These people need our help.
