For one whole hour, everyone with a conscience, every concerned human being, will switch off their lights and unite with the rest of the world as the globe goes into a deliberate massive blackout.

On March 29, 2008, at 8pm, where ever you are in the world -- step away from the TV, the computer, the electric grill, the fridge, and be in solidarity with those who want change, those who want to have a positive impact.

One light bulb switched off WILL make a difference. Be a part of something worthwhile. Communicate. Affect.

Just got back from the Fall Out Boy concert. It was pretty amazing. That's all I have to say about that. Oh, and caught a glimpse of Pete Wentz's extremely low belly tattoo PLUS his butt crack -- simply spectacular.

My grandfather, who I took care of for years, passed away on Friday. He died and I watched him die. We were all there at the funeral home for 5 whole days. I had no sleep, no contact with almost everybody else but family and dear friends through phone. Interment was yesterday. It's been a really tough week. I know it hasn't completely sunk in yet, but I don't think I could take much more grief and heartache at this point.

I know he's in a better place now. He can eat, drink whatever he wants and he won't feel pain ever again. Those things are my only consolation. Plus the fact that I was an important part of his life as he was in mine.

I love you, Tatay. I will miss you everyday...
