IT WAS A SUBJECT THAT IS TOUCHY AND WHEN PEOPLES REAL FEELINGS AND PERSPECTIVES ARE LET OUT. ITS ALMOST TABOO TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THINKING THAT WAY.
ANYWAY TO THE POINT!.
I'M NOT SURE BUT LETS SAY A WEEK BACK A FELLOW BLOGGER HAD HIT ME UP ON MYSPACE USING THAT I.M. THING.
ANYWAY I WAS ASKED IF I HAD GONE TO THE AIDS WALK?
I REPLIED.
ME: NO...FOR WHAT?
THEY WERE LIKE WHAT?? TO BENEFIT PEOPLE WITH AIDS AND HELP FIND A CURE.!
ME: ....AND?
BASICALLY LEMME BREAK THIS DOWN.
I HOLD CERTAIN THINGS TRUE TO ME AND I WILL STAND FOR A CAUSE I BELIEVE IN.
I WILL ALSO PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING I BELIEVE WILL BENEFIT THOSE WHO NEED IT.
AS FOR THAT AIDS WALK... I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO PAERICIPATE.
DONT THINK IM CRUEL BUT I JUST BELIEVE THAT IF WE CAN SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ORGANIZING IT AND ADVERTISING IT, MERCHANDISE AND ALL THESE OTHER MIDDLEMEN THAN WHY CAN'T WE JUST USE ALL THE MONEY WE JUST BLEW FOR ALL OF THAT.
AND SEND IT INTO THESE LABS SO THEY CAN FIND A CURE?
PUT IT LIKE THIS.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WALKING FOR AIDS FOR MANY YEARS.
AND EVEN AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS, AFTER ALL THOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CURE???
OR AT LEAST A SUBSTITUTE NOTHING AT ALL? NO KIND OF PROGRESS ??
I FEEL LIKE ITS NONSENSE THEN.
MAYBE IF IT WAS MORE OF A HANDS ON WAY OF HELPING WHERE IM ACTUALLY SEEING AND DOING THINGS THAT I CAN SEE FOR MYSELF IS HELPING.
LIKE FEEDING THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS OR GIVING AWAY CLOTHING TO FAMILIES IN NEED, OR SENDING MONEY GRAMS TO THOSE WHO NEED IT SO WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR MAIL THEY HAVE A CHECK FOR WHATEVER SUM OF MONEY. SO THEY CAN CASH IT!!
LIKE I WANT TO DO SOMETHING WHERE I CAN SEE THE PROGRESS OF MY HELP.
BUT IF YOU GONNA HAVE ME WALKING UP AND DOWN MANHATTAN FOR HOWEVER LONG AND ALL I GET TO SEE IS SWEATY STINK PEOPLE, AND CRUSHED UP DIXIE CUPS, THEN NO!
IF ALL I GET TO SEE IS THE 11'0CLOCK NEWS DOCUMENTING ...PEOPLE WALKING!! THEN NO
I'M NOT WALKING FOR SHIT!
FUCK THAT.
TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE A DAMN GIMMICK...
LIKE SOME TOM FOOLERY .
IM NOT KNOCKING THOSE WHO DO DO THESE EVENTS, FOR THEM I AM HAPPY IF IT MAKES THEM HAPPY.
JUST DONT COME AT ME LIKE IM WIERD.. BECAUSE I CHOOSE TO NOT WALK. AND YOU DONT LIKE MY BELIEFS
THATS HOW I AM.
I DONT KNOW HOW SASHA FIERCE WOULD REACT BUT... THIS IS HOW SASHA DOES IT.
I'D RATHER BE ON THE COMITTEE WHO HELPS FIND THE CURE, OR BE THE NURSE IN THE HOSPITAL THAT TENDS TO THE SICKLY.
THAN WALK A BLOCK AND GO HOME.
...I THINK IM JUST MORE OF A HANDS ON TYPE OF GIRL...
ME SIGNING OUT...
you make good points. there actually is a cure for AIDS; you can find the patent online. it's my belief that they will never release the cure to the public. they make way too much money off of this disease; from the money they collect from the walk, to grants, etc. so i totally feel you. if they organize a march for the cure to be release, then i will string up my Nikes.
