Please help.

For anyone who is still reading this, I have a personal challenge for you. Please do something. A good friend of mine, Sarah Jo, has recently had a relapse of an acute and aggressive form of Leukemia.

If you are financially able, please go to this site and considering donating something -- whether it is money, blood, platelets, etc. You can donate platelets every 3 days, and it only takes around an hour. Platelets are always in HIGH demand, so even if you do it on occasion, you will be helping a lot. http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_page?item_id=8477

Call your local Red Cross chapter and get signed up to donate.

I caught wind of this video from a friend on facebook. It's 20 minutes, but I found it very fascinating. Check it out:

Nearly famous!

Things that have been fun about work lately:
— I taught my boss how to properly use the word, "woot." (See definition 2: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=woot)
— I get to write A.M. Stir, a fun section about absolutely nothing. (http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/020908/lif_245153844.shtml)
— I get to write rants about how people honk at me while I'm riding my bike. (http://mystjohnssun.com/node/1095)
— Fun YouTube videos get passed around the newsroom that cause people to literally burst into uncontrolled laughter. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsDOVqwm7vs)
— We get sent a company newsletter that includes a 3-D cow we can cut out and put together and call our very own.
