Day 342 - No Week In Review!

I have decided since I have not done much this past week and there is not much I can tell you, a Week in Review video would be pointless. I have also been sick and really don't feel like doing a tutorial right now. I may do one or two this weekend, but I am just going to try to get better before I do anymore.

Also, FABATV is working on getting the videos edited from the Paint-A-Thon and they should be out next week. I will keep you updated on this.

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 340-341 - Out with a Cold

Been down with a cold and trying to figure out when FABATV is going to release the videos so you can see what you missed if you didn't get to see the Paint-A-Thon. They said it would be free to watch and I will be posting them as soon as they release the videos also with the information on how you can still donate to the Covenant House. Will keep you updated!

Until tomorrow, HAPPY PAINTING!

Day 339 - Update on Jonah Mowry's Video

Here is the Update Jonah Mowry put on his video he posted 3 months ago:

UPDATE, PLEASE READ
To all my friends and supporters,
I made this video 4 months ago just before school was about to start. I was 13. It was a very emotionally dark time in my life. I made the video at 4:00am in the morning; I hadn't been sleeping at night for a long time, too many things going on in my head. I was dreading going back to school and I had not come out to my family yet. Only my closest friends knew. I didn't know how to say what I needed to say. All I could think about were all the bad things that had been happening at school last year, every year for that matter. I just couldn't bare to go through that anymore. I was done being fake happy, pretending hateful words didn't hurt, done hiding it from my family.
So this video was made for my friends that had moved on to High School who were worried for me, to say to them that I was going to take a stand, and to the haters at my middle school that I'm not going anywhere. I am who I am. I posted the video here and told people were to find it. That was it.
My friends were moved by the video and thought I did something important. I was encouraged to upload it to my Facebook page so more people could see it. Maybe it could help someone else going through the same thing. So I linked it Dec. 1st. My Parents saw it for the first time Dec, 2nd.
Then..... all this happened.
I never expected in a million years that it would have such a wonderful impact on so many people. I am truly humbled and truly thankful for all the love, encouragement and support from people all over the world. It's been incredibly overwhelming. I don't know what to say. Thank you so, so much!
Lastly, yes you have seen me happy in a couple short videos replies I posted; I would think that would be a good thing , and yes I do have friends, my High School friends, and I have made friends because when I came out they realized that they had hurt me and that they fealt sorry. The video is real, and true.
In the last few months everything eventually came out in the open, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders; I'm happy, I'm excepted for who I am, I'm more confident and feel stronger every day.
Thank you all, Love and peace to all who are hurting.
Jonah Mowry

Day 338 - You are STRONG!

Jonah Mowry is a bullied Gay teen who is tired of it all, but is not going to end his life because of it! He is STRONGER than that and has a million REASONS to be here!

Why do people have to make a big deal out of whether a person is Gay or Straight, Black or White, Asian or American, Smart or Dumb, Religious or Non-Religious, etc.? IT DOESN'T!!!

We are all NOT the same, we are just UNIQUE! STOP THE BULLYING NOW!!!
