But I try, and thats why, this world will know my name when I die.

I have been keeping myself pretty busy lately, which is good. Most of my focus has been dedicated to music and the scene with a few breaks here and there to enjoy the nice weather and skate.

Last week I helped run a show. This show had no name or purpose, but I can see that it is going to become a revolution.

My friend Danny came up to me not too long ago and asked if I would be interested in helping him run shows at The Ethical Humanist Society in Garden City. He didn't even need to explain his motives and I was on board. Danny and I come from a very similar background. We were both brought into the scene by the now legendary Calvary Shows. The thing about The Calvary Shows that made them great were simple. They were there for the kids and the bands to have a good time. Now shows are mostly run to make money.

So last Friday was the big day. Our first show. It went extremely well and the best part about it was being able to throw all of the bands some money. Was it a lot? No. But it is a nice change of pace them having them sell tickets and have the bands wind up loosing money.

Danny and I recently started to get a little more organized with this project and make it a little more public. Last night I made the facebook group, this morning I wake up to a ton of messages from people asking to help and people showing an overwhelming amount of support for what will now be called The Humanity Shows.

A lot of people are saying the same thing. "It is about time someone fixed this mess." It was no secret that the Long Island scene was falling apart, but I had no idea that I would take part in rebuilding it. Some girl even drew me this:

Incredibly proud moment in my life.

I guess the whole point of this blog is that I now know what I am doing with my life. And its what I always have been doing. And I still don't need a degree to do it.
