Sorry Toronto ended up being a lot longer than I expected.. I don't know how you people who live there stand that traffic.. 11pm and it's bumper to bumper... crazy stuff...
anyway congrats to SRB he won the Gretzky jersey for ONLY $150 usd. valued at much much more I can guarantee you that.
for those who doubt me or anything I do, I completely understand you, you most likely haven't been around that long since if you did, you'd realize that when I had a bit more time on my hands I ran a website that at the time was one of the larger and more extensive hip sites out there (livehip.com).. I used to run trees for people and have literally probably burnt 5000 cds for people before someone suggested I start collecting donations [people told me to keep the money and I didn't want to since I didn't think that was fit].. so myself, Scott M. and a few others began setting up fundraisers [I asked the hip about it and they were cool with it].. I used to put up every detail on my website but that doesn't exist anymore so I don't put it anywhere... I used to solely donate to Camp Trillium, but then I switched to the SPCA, and at last Christmas a needy family. At the beginning I'll admit people were donating a good chunk, and I think $1000 was raised at one point for Camp Trillium.. it was great.. now not that many people donate anymore.. to whom ever thought it was thousands that I raised last year for the family you're well off.. I think I was asking for $30 for 8 dvds which cost at the time $2.25 each or so, not including shipping.. basically it ended up being not much more than $5 a package...I also ended up putting in a ton of money from my own pocket because sometimes I made a mistake on the dvds etc.. I think the total was somewhere around $250-300ish.. I unfortunately didn't write down the final tally, which was in my end was wrong because I never had these ridiculous accusations before..I'm not going to find any excuses for the delays in the packages last year, that was not my fault... try doing physio for a year and losing almost an entire year of your life... not very fun whatsoever... I should have a receipt from Camp Trillium from a few years ago but I'm not 100% sure where it is.. when I was sending out the donations I sometimes sent them to Scott first and he would do them... I also never said no to people sending me cheques or money orders named written to the SPCA or anything like that. I even had one person tell me they sent the cheque straight to Camp Trillium.. I gave the person the benefit of the doubt... like I said again, I will try to find the receipt from camp t, I have nothing from the SPCA since it was given through my local office.. I'll probably take heat for this but it doesn't bother me, I know what I did... I don't think people understand the gravity of the accusations either. I'm not some student who's scraping by and needs some money.. I've got a good job, and $300 while is a good amount of money it's not worth going through all this trouble of doing dvds/cds and getting in trouble... think about it, it doesn't make any sense.. and everyone had the choice to say yes or no... I never forced anyone to do anything...
that being said, I'm tired of people accusing me of faking my accident and saying that I would keep this money so I will only keep doing this if the people who want anything send me a money order/cheque written to the SPCA/Camp T.. just to let you know about $235 has been raised for this year's family, mainly thanks to the Gretzky jersey. congrats to Scott for winning..
