here's something for a good cause

i'm a jerk. everyone knows that. but i do believe that everything in nature should be in balance. so to compensate for all the jerkiness i've done, here's something for a good cause.

my close friend, tara, is going to africa on march, to volunteer helping those who are dying of starvation. she needs about $3,000 for stuff; travel, lodging, food, shit like that. i myself have donated some of my money to her, but being the poor college student that i am, i am unable to give her the entire $3,000. i would, if i had that much money available.

i've never asked for donations or anything, because i believe anything from a fan to another fan should be done out of generosity. all the 10gb monthly transfer bandwidth, hosting for the wallpapers, radio.blog songs, all that i need to pay to get this blog the way it is right now, came out of my own money. i don't ask for your donation to ME. i myself DO NOT need them. but my friend tara does. so for those of you who have been leeching off this blog and actually feel guilty about leeching and never leaving a message, maybe this is the perfect time for you to donate some of your extra money.

i swear, this money does NOT go to me.

this trip is an event sponsored by DREAMFORAFRICA.COM. go there, read about what they're trying to achieve and shit like that. i assure you this isn't a scam. my other friend did the same thing last year; she ended up falling in love with africa and decided never to come back.

please, again, DONATE some of your leftover money for tara, so that her dreams of helping people can be fulfilled. this is so that she can go there and do all the dirty work that you people won't do because you're either too lazy or just don't care (i know how you feel, i'm one of the lazy ones). if you feel like you don't have the guts to actually go there and fight with the leopards and mosquitos, the least you can do is helping financially. TARA'S PARTICIPATION CODE IS 1007723. click on DONATIONS link on the left menu, then click on PAYMENT ON EXISTING TRIP on the top menu.

this is a great project. if you are interested and feel like you can donate some of your time to actually go down there and do the work yourself, PLEASE, JOIN THE TRIP. if you want to donate to the trip itself as a whole, and not just to the specific individual i mentioned above, PLEASE, DONATE AS WELL. the official letter to tara from DreamForAmerica can be found here.

this is for a good cause, i assure you. and all the help is appreciated. thank you.
