Frantastic!






Okay okay okay... cool night tonight. Starts off at St. Bernadine's Parish in Woodland Hills. I was able to speak and rap with about 60 amazing teenagers in 2nd year of confirmation classes. Today's theme was Mary! My speech was on 3 things:
1) How saying "yes" essentially changed to course of humanity! (when Mary said Yes to bear Christ)
2) Developing a "why not?" faith mentality. If we limit our belief we aren't thinking "why not?". This way of thought allows anything to be possible. You can be the best, get a promotion, heal your family, date a really attractive girl... whatever it may be. We need to go into situations with a "why not?" outlook.
3) I taught them to to be official Rosary Rappers.

So as soon as that ended I flew down to the Million Dollar Theatre in Los Angeles in the Batmobile (my car). I found out about Fran Drescher's Charity Benefit concert thanks to my talented friend Caitlin Crosby who was performing in the show. So, I'm always down to show support especially if it's benefiting a good cause.

When I arrived I saw these people standing out interviewing celebs and others about the event. So I was like hmmm.... how could I get to interview... I went to use the bano and as I was walking there it came to me. Write a quick little rap for Fran about Cancer. So I did. I wrote it in like 5 mins. I told the woman doing the interviews that I rap and wrote a cancer rap... she was interested. Then FRAN shows up with ROSIE O'DONNELL. Camera's are flashin all over the place. Then it hit's me RAP to FRAN! I thought to myself "why not?" So as soon as she was done with the pics I got her attention and Bam! The camera was rolling and I introduced myself told her I wrote her a rap and started goin! Following the rap she told her Personal Assistant to get my # because she liked it and may want to use it. Cool!

Yep that happened... lol to me funny but surely possible! Well the show continued and was great. So many talented acts Olivia Newton John, Caitlin Crosby, Jackson Brown, Rosie, and More. The moral of the story is... "why not?" =)

Here's the Rap

Dang she did it
Fran is a winner
Better check yourself
cuz cancer could get ya
But don't be trippin
Pray for the livin
We can find a cure
In a day were given
So Ima keep givin
Money to the cause
Oh my God...
I think He's the answer
To helping us with cancer
Schmancer
