21st Annual NYC Cares Coat Drive

i've been looking at things from a very different perspective lately and saw an advertisement on the subway a few days ago. i took it as a sign. as fucked up as i think my life may be, truth of the matter is, a lot of people have it way worse. complaining never created change. action creates change. so from now through december 31st, i want to be part of a change movement (i was so meant to live during the 70s when the youth stood for something lol). PLEASE join me, many of the other generous new yorkers and donate your gently used coats. instead of leaving them to collect dust in the back of your closets, why not help someone keep warm this winter? it's easy.

weekdays, 7am to 9:30am, drop them off at:

-42nd street grand central terminal

-times square port authority bus terminal

-34th street penn station

next? i'm thinking of passing by a health clinic before my dec 26 month-long trip to ecuador to pick up as many free condoms as i can get my hands on. i'm planning on giving them out not only to guys, but girls as well in the streets of ecuador. sadly, condoms in ecuador are a luxury and not many can afford them hence why several of my 14 year old cousins living out there are already parents. i dont even want to think about how many teenagers are out there walking around with STD's as well (smh) shits are free here!!! thats crazy. ecuador, like many other latin american countries, preaches abstinence rather than safe sex. clearly, its not working. so, the rebel that i am and always have been, will be taking it upon myself to (try) and change that. although, i may get looked at wrong or even get rocks thrown at me (as my dad commented when i told him about this idea lol) i'm really looking forward to doing this. if i get at least 1 person practicing safe sex, it will be worth it.
