My friend Alex from high school who I miss chingos left me this vm and it cracked me up so I am sharing it... wish you could hear it - so much sweeter with her voice and emphasis - she was in Drama  you know..

Sent Sunday April 18th at 1:49 PM:

Hey Robert, it's Alex.  Pince cabron nunca contestas.  Oye, I - really wanted to complain about these bitches that stand in the middle of the road asking for money que pa una werkita con cancer.  Look - I don't know if there really is a kid with cancer that they're getting money for but these fat ass bitches are always asking for money. You nunca les ay dado but I always see them and one of them always has her chiches out - la mas gorda - ta pero mas gorda que yo wey. She's like over 300 lbs - that fat bitch - do u know what she said to me - she yelled at me que era bien pinche.  She said que (yells in re-enactment but I can't make out the words) like next to me. I was like Oh No you did not just call me stingy.  You're asking me for money and insulting me for not giving you money.  What is wrong with you?  Aparte que for a 10 year old kid, which this kid has been 11 years old for like 2 years - puro pinche petho!  I mean - I'm sorry but in the US there's a lot - a lot of help for kids with cancer - maybe not adults as much but for kids with cancer, there's like - there's so much shit for kids with cancer - puro pince petho wey!!  I'm pissed man. no hombre wey. no. I'm pissed dude..

So I called the cops on those fat bitches. And the cops said they were gonna go tell them to leave because they're not supposed to be doing that.  Like they're not even supposed to be there asking for money. Well then why don't the bastards - por que no las corren? Ya tienen toda la manana.  Bueno-anyway my sister's on the other line I gotta let you go but Fat Bitches I'm gonna kick their ass  (more spanish I can't make out what she says here).

Bueno pues - bye.

Working Together to Create Magical Days for Seriously Ill Children

I have always been a huge fan of college football and I recently discovered a wonderful organization that marries my love of the sport with a great cause. The organization is Special Spectators, a group that brings seriously ill children and their families to memorable game day events. What could be better than introducing these youngsters to the color, pageantry, sights and sounds of college football?

Special Spectators works with Division I institutions who donate tickets to sporting events for the seriously ill children and their families. The organization coordinates all the day's activities from pregame events, on field events, and post game events. These activities can include tailgate parties, meeting athletes, cheerleaders, mascots, and bands, on the field introductions, locker room tours, coaches meetings, and much more. The result is these kids get one magical day away from the daily battle of their illness.

The on-field introduction is the most powerful and memorable of all the activities. At some universities, as many as 107,000 fans have given these children a standing ovation for the courage they show from day-to-day.

"My son has suffered so and I have cried a million tears, but the joy that you gave these children with Special Spectators will take away some to those sad times. We lay at night talking about the roar the crowd made for those four little heroes who stood on that OU field. Brian’s eyes light up when he tells others about the limo ride and all the special things that happened that night. To those who made it happen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy you brought to these kids who so deserve it." E.B. - Mother

The Race for the Cure(R)

Here's a chance to support a great cause, but if you live in Vegas and would rather walk than sponsor me, please go to our page below and click on "Join Robert's Team!". Friends and Family are welcome to join our Company Team ("Team SRS") for a nominal reg fee ...

I am walking on May 2nd, 2009 in a Breast Cancer Walk and raising funds for this very good cause. I've done this twice before (2006 and last year in 2008) and am looking forward to walking again.

I'm participating in the 5K Walk (Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure) on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009. Why?

It's great exercise.
It's for a good cause.
And we're doing it together as a team with those that participate by walking, and with the friends and family that participate by sponsoring us.

If you can donate any small amount, or for more info on our walk, please visit the url below.

This is my third walk and I started with my nephews. In 2006, we had 6 sponsorships totaling $212 in donations. In 2008, we had 11 sponsorships totaling $340 in donations. The goal for 2009 is $400! Company team-wise, we raised over $900 last year and look to top $1,000 this year - we're already at $490 as of this post!
