We probably won't hit our goal by the end of this month, but we sure are coming close!
Because of this, I might be going to go the Charity: Water event in NY at Saks Fifth Avenue. If you want to go, the tickets are $100 at http://www.charitywater.org/june10/index.htm and 100% of the money will benefit freshwater projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America and India.
And if we can reach our goal, I might be going to a handful of Warped Tour's all over the US managing the SocialVibe booth. But if we don't reach our goal, I'll probably not be in places like MN, OHIO, FLORIDA, WASHINGTON etc for awhile =[ (those are just random places off the top of my head btw) We need to show SocialVibe we mean business!
All this will pave the way to a CHARITY TOUR!!! A tour that will go all over the WORLD and raise as much money as possible! Let's throw a huge party in your town and raise as much as we can! Let's make this go down in the record books as being the first tour of people who actually want to change the world. Lets start a movement! And you better believe if we can reach our goals, I will be HOSTING this tour, and going and seeing each and every one of you!
I'm so ridiculously excited, I really hope you all get motivated and start posting the video in this link: http://thegaygod.com/vid.html
remember all you have to do is sign up! and it's FREE! If you want to continue to help raise money without paying a cent, put the badge on your page.
Are there any chances that Europe will be included in that world tour? I'm still stuck in Germany :D I mean a world tour is supposed to bring you around the world, isn't it? :D
So if there is any chance - please tell me, I'm definitely gonna be there..Frankfurt am Main would be the best city to stop. I know about 50 people there who would definitely come. And as I only know about 100 people rom Frankfurt and there are about 1.000.000..probably a lot people would come... ^^
woahhhh. we gotta reach this goal. i think i'm just going to start making random social vibe accounts for this. lol. i have to get you to ohio some day ;D <3
Matthew if you are coming to Florida... I'll let you know how to get in contact with me and maybe we can grab a bite to eat. I may be working as local crew for Warped Tour.
Oh, that's great. I'd love to meet you again! You're so sweet. You should come to the San Fran Warped June 21st. :) I'm trying to get all my friends to join socialvibe. I think it's such a cool deal!
so hmm would you be at the dallas, texas warped tour on july 3? because if so i have to be there! i posted a few bulletins for socialvibe i hope people actually do it and not be lazy! it would be way cool to be able to meet you haha
if you want, my dad says he can probably bring you to asia! :] i think he met you at bamboozle left so if you're interested let us know! Asia would love you and there's a lot of good things that can be done here, espec in charity and animal rights.
Great! :] Can you email him at ctraub@sesasia.com? He can tell you about some of the projects then :] You could help SO MUCH in Asia since there's so little people trying to do something here, and so many people would want to see/meet you! Haha and they would be able to if you came =) Let me know!
I really wish I could go! I'd love to do more stuff for Charity: Water, but I can't afford it. You'll probably have tons of fun though. ^_^ And I live in Minnesota so I guess I won't be seeing you any time soon. But 'tis alright. You're worth the wait. :D Ily. <3
oh matthew. i love it how you're always going for your goal of helping others in need. that's why i and many others look up to you so much. no wonder you're a hero to many others. i have surprises for you next month. and i'll see you august 17 in california for warped tour if you are going to be there with Social Vibe. you'll always have my luck. :]
OMG, that's awesome! i'm excited too now, lol. i hope i'll get to see you somewhere on tour, it would make me so happy =D i can't think of anything better than a charity movement, especially with you leading it <3 haha, i made 8 more SocialVibe accounts today ;] and i'll keep posting bulletins! <3
Matt! Socialvibe finally told me it was okay that my friends and I made socialvibe tees with their logo and stuff. Maybe I'll get to see you at warped tour! That would be awesome a little bit!!! If you are at mine you'll see me and my friends walking around in baby blue social vibe tees advertising "free hugs for charity" giving out free hugs in exchange for letting us tell them about socialvibe.
aww yay, we're almost there. im gonna keep trying my best to get people to sign up. and if you go to the warped tour in florida, im probably gonna go to that one aside from the one in new york; so we can hang out there to support socialvibe :P which reminds me, i still got a handful of those cards we passed out at bamboozle xD <3
OMG! A charity tour would be AWESOME! And I'll think about the New York thing. Would love to go, but thats so far. Haha. I live by Sacramento. And you should totally go to the San Francisco or the Sacramento Warped Tour. Because I may be going to both. Im going to san fran for sure. So you should go :D
aw. ill do anything to help. like why not? its free and helps so many people. if you came to florida, id loose it. it would be the happiest day of my life lol. you dont even understand how much youve helped me and how happy you make me each day :D ily matthew<3
So now, what is this? Oh great, another site Matthew Lush is on. Is that what you see? Do you not see the big picture? Why can't you see what I see? Oh wait! Maybe it's because you're not me. But you know what? You still have the opportunity to do something with your life with what I've been trying to show you.
Now is the time to really take control of your life and not let others make decisions for you. Only you can fulfill your own destiny.
Do you look down upon me because I'm not perfect? If you're looking for anything near perfect, you're looking in the wrong place. Stop looking for for perfection; it doesn't exist.
We have a tendency to look down on things that don't fit in our ideal world. But this shouldn't be an automatic reaction. Even those things that don't fit your idea of perfection should be cherished at least as potential... the potential to change... the potential to open up to new things and explore life's many horizons.
When I came out of the closet I had no one to turn to. Not even one close friend. Do you know what it's like to have no friends? I was never the popular one in high school. I struggled through years and years of pain, loneliness and heartbreak.
Eventually I turned to the internet, my hideout from the real world. There I found an opportunity to do something with my life. The internet became my tool for change. My poor aching heart found its passion.
So ask yourself: What empowers you to succeed, and why haven't you done anything about it yet? Here's another tool to do the same thing I'm doing, only the way you want to do it. Think about the endless possibilities you have, and use this space to start writing the story of your life.
My book is far from being published. It won't be a book you can see or touch. Rather it will be something that you can "feel" within you. It will be for those looking for guidance... guidance that one day I shall bring. As I grow, I hope you'll grow with me.
And finally, be positive. As my mother taught me... "Think before you speak!" If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Your negativity will not only affect others, it will affect you as well. So be good to yourself.
"They say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." -Andy Warhol
Heyy matthew! I really hope your brother is alright! im sure everything will be fine and sure were all here if you need cheering up! lush you! - sarah x x x
omg i just read every single one of your blogs that i've missed out on. wow. hmmm. but yeahh. some of them made me decide that one day i will buy you a puppy. because you need a puppy. yess. well this is a weird pointless comment. but i love you. thanks for everything. :]
About 6 months ago i found out about you through my friend Arielle. We were friends, but not really that close. One night i invited her over and we literally stayed up all night watching videos of you on Youtube. Needless to say, we found something in common with each other; we were craazyyy in love with YOU. :) We're best friends now and i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we shared SO MANY of those nights watching those videos.
So thanks for bringing my best friend and i closer. I appreciate it more than you could ever know.
Oh geez! That's REALLY nasty! But I will say this... you're more my hero now than ever! I've lost a LOT of guys by NOT having sex like 3 days after meeting them. But you know what, WHO CARES? I'm disease free and one of them turned into a male prostitute, another a coke addict, and I've lost touch with them all and can't say I have ANY interest in finding ANYTHING out about them!
I've had my heart broken enough times through the "process of elimination" but I still believe in the Beatles song "All you need is Love".
Do the 24 hour thing next month but just PREPARE yourself to end it if it doesn't work out as it doesn't sound like it's going anywhere but straight into some relationship sewer. And you're soooooooo perfect and ideal TOO! I don't get it!!!!
aww. i just read ur blog. i wish i can donate but i dont have the monew. srry . :(. u started to laugh when i got to the bottum of the blog thoug..lol XD
Aw!!! i am copmpletly sorry that everything isnt working for you but i will all work out fine!! i know that u cant help who you love but myabe if u sat them down at actually took time to say how u felt they would appreciate your love a whole lot more!!!! You are such a cute boy and u are very caring u dont need anybody to not have time for u!!!
I hope everything works out great!!! ♥ Ya lots Meagan !!!
You're one of the sweetest, most caring boys I know, and I want you to know that that's the best quality anyone can ever have. Don't ever think there's something wrong with you for missing him, because that's the loving part of you that's the most important part of any relationship. Just know we're all here for you and I love you for who you are, and I've come to realize that rough times are necessary for you to deal with problems and emotional issues better the next time. So you'll learn and grow, and maybe that means you'll grow closer to your bf. Try to go do things that make you happy, like playing with puppies or baking or whatever. :3 Everything seems easier when you look at it in a good mood. <3 Maddie
I finally got my account up on here ^_^ I've been keeping up with your blog for awhile but never got the chance to put up my own profile. I left you a comment of encouragment on your blog so I won't repeat myself. I'm a bit of pessimist but even I believe that it's always darkest before the dawn...
I've been following you, rather creeperily I might suppose, since two summers ago. You really are an inspiration, and no, you can't be perfect, I don't idolize you, I just really respect your views and courage to express them.
I have a blog on here, and it chronicles my experiences with coming out. I know it would help people cope. Horrible as it is, I'm sort of using you as advertisement. Haha, but in a good way, of course. Anyways, I would probably go into shock and have to be taken to the ER if you actually read one of my blogs, but I hope you do. And I hope others do too!
Anyways, like I said, you are a great person. Your ideals are so strong, it really does inspire me.
(Oh, and I think someone might have already told you this, but a WHOLE bunch of people think you're cute, don't get too down. =] You'll always have your fans, that is a love no lone person can give you.)
trying to find love is very difficult. but maybe you should takee it to the next level??...and date a girl. maybee?? just a thought. you seeem very passionate...well thats a part of being in love and thats what girls are all about. crying during romantic movies, cuddling, haahh and just being with the person they loveee. well...thats how most girls are anyways. i COMPLETELLYY understand the whole thing w/your bf bcuz thats how it was w/mine and trust me you need much much better hunnn. illyyy<3 and hope you feel much better.
I'm still stuck in Germany :D
I mean a world tour is supposed to bring you around the world, isn't it? :D
So if there is any chance - please tell me, I'm definitely gonna be there..Frankfurt am Main would be the best city to stop. I know about 50 people there who would definitely come.
And as I only know about 100 people rom Frankfurt and there are about 1.000.000..probably a lot people would come... ^^
