I remember I used to friend all these local bands hoping one of them would go big and then I could be a hipster and say I knew them before they blew up0

Omg. I forgot about MySpace! I wonder if I have any messages?!!! I don't even remember my log in... crap!
Haven't been on there in so long...
Obviously neither have I... as in years.0 -

Hey that actually kinda worked for me! My best friend lived down the street from a guy in 311... we hung out with them in his dad's garage as they practiced.. then they became big and moved to L.A. but it was fun while it lasted!0 -

haha it never worked out for me. my mom recently reminded me that at like 13, I was calling around to music venues trying to get one of them to book this one visiting small band, to try to gain some brownie points with them. I was so dumb lol0 -

LOL I would say more ambitious than dumb! You never know, at least you tried! I actually ended up working with Peanut's (I can't remember their real names) sister a few years down the road as a cocktail waitress in a casino. They booked some shows there, she got me backstage and they all remembered me. We partied super duper hard that night! Wow!

As my friend sat there crying, worried about how her life was changing and possibly losing not just 1 but both of her girls down the road, I said to her, "We can sit here and cry or we can be proactive." It was then we started Team Hope and have become one of the top fund raising teams for Cystic Fibrosis every year since in our area. Her oldest, now 18 years old is holding on for dear life. Her lungs are giving out. She spends more time in the hospital than at home. She told me just last week she is not ready to die. I can't get those words out of my head. Last night she got listed for a double lung transplant. It can happen at any moment. I just hope with all my soul her lungs hold out till new ones are available for her. Yet, it is so bittersweet. As someone that has had to bury her own child I know that pain. And this girl who is like one of my own can't get new lungs without someone else having to bury their child. I have so many mixed emotions and have been on the verge of tears since last week when I found out that my friend's daughter doesn't have much time with her own lungs. Knowing she is listed brings some relief and no matter what happens I will not stop fighting, raising money and bringing awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

I lost a friend to CF.
Nicest guy you could ever imagine... he was 22 years old at the time.

Life is so unfair! I am sorry to hear about your friend. That is way too young! Just as I pray both of my friend's daughters make it to a decent age! Due to developments in CF the life expectancy has rose to the average of 37. It started at most of them not making it out of elementary school!0 -

Yeah, look into Boomer Esiason's charity on this. His son has CF.
I was a fraternity brother with the friend who we lost. He kept his condition a secret.
I hope your friend's daughter does well with the transplant.1 -

This is just heart breaking. I have never lost a child, but reading this brought tears to my eyes. I will keep your friends girls in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they are able to get the lung transplant in time.
Thank you both! They can use all the good thoughts they can possibly get!1 -

I'm thinking about cancelling today's cleaning/caretaking of my sick parents today. I feel guilty, but I'm on day three of antibiotics, and it's -12 BEFORE the windchill out there this morning. So I've been awake since 2:30, feeling guilty, and knowing me I'll probably still go.2

Please don't feel guilty. Cleaning can wait a little bit and your parents will understand.2 -

I called and cancelled. Still felt a little guilty, as I know my mom likes my company too...my step dad could live without seeing me..lol. But they are both old and sick, maybe kinder not to share my germs with them.
Thanx for the nudge, I would have went.1 -
