where they momma's at? nobody knows, nobody cares

so yesterday was pretty cool. i went to this event called 'we day' at Rodgers Arena in Vancouver. it was an earrrrly morning to get there, but it was totally worth it. http://www.weday.com/ i was super stoked to see everyone! and super super stoked about shaq, classified and down with webster being there. they were awesome! and there were so many inspiring speakers. richard branson was even there! and mikhail gorbachev!

the one speaker that had the most impact on me, didn't actually speak. he took a vow of silence and instead, presented his speech with posters. michel chikwanine was a boy solider, and i thought that was really brave he was able to make it through it and take action against it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69JgbJnfUlk. in grade nine a read a book called 'A Long Way Gone' by ishmael beah. it told his story, of being forced to become a boy solider. after that, i took my money and donated it to world vision to help rehabilitate a boy soldier. hearing michel's story, it makes me want to take action. ever since i was a little, little girl it's been my dream to go to africa, to help. now i realize i can make my dream reality, and go on an exchange trip. i think that would be an incredibly amazing experience.

so anyways, no plans for this friday. i was going to take the weekend off from partying, but there might be something going on tomorrow night so there's a possibility i may go. i guess we'll just wait and see. this guy's texting me too, wants to party or hang out.. we'll see where that goes.

lots of love
