Remember when Adcenter, i mean Brandcenter had a voice?

Last night, our beloved 2nd year AD, Shane Knight,
brought a couple of handfuls of students together.
The subject wasn't a lack of work space or even the mess
we have been collectively leaving around the building.
It was our voice he was after.
Finally.

What came out of the meeting was this overwhelming
need for a unified voice for Brandcenter students.
Finally.

The proposal: a student union.
Two students from each track from each year.
Not to get our spaces back.
But to open up communication between students and faculty,
all with the intent of having a better school.
One that lives up to its bleeding-edge hype.
Finally.

And don't worry, alumni.
We don't want to keep ya'll out either.
We want to include you more than ever.
Hell, we wouldn't be here if it weren't for ya'll.
The way I see it, it's never been about Adcenter this or Brandcenter that.
No, it's always been about the students.
Students that aren't afraid to fail.
Aren't afraid to try.
Aren't afraid to dream.
And that spirit hasn't changed since the first class.

Prayers Wanted.

Yesterday was my little brother's stem cell transplant.
We like to call it his new birthday.

I'd be lying if I said that I'm being a complete rock.
My head is definitely swimming in a sea of emotions.
And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure what to think.

All I know, is that we are blessed.
That every day and every breath is something to cherish.

And now that my family has nothing left to do but wait,
I ask the lord for mercy.
I ask for kindness.
I ask for prayers.

Say what you want about stem cells.
Although I may snap at you if you're one of those whiny, scared,
conservative-ass individuals who think that stem cell research is
fundamentally wrong.
I understand that ignorance may be bliss,
But ignorance is also ignorance.
And if one is ignorant, he/she shouldn't be allowed to talk so passionately
of things they have no knowledge about.
Don't worry, I'll get off my soap box soon.

Say what you want about God.
I believe that there is a God.
People may call it something different, like Allah, etc.
But to me, it's all the same God.
The nickname one uses is just semantics.


Say what you want about miracles.
But, I am related to one.
Read his BLOG, and try to prove me otherwise.
