oh no that's a different cousin! yeah i am weird I have two cousins that I am really good friends with...speaking of I should prolly call Damon and see how he is doing

I wish I was closer to my cousins... but, as it happens, their views on homosexuality aren't that cool.

well that just sucks. I love most of my family. We always have been really close, I have a lot of cousins some that are quite a bit older and then some that are all around my age, it's pretty fun. I am really the closest with my two of my cousins, the one that lives in BC (damon) and the one that lives here (Jen). Jen and I have been best friends pretty much my entire life. I can really say it was in grade two when we started having sleep overs and stuff like that, and for a few years in junior high we were insperable

you are so lucky... she'll be there for you all of your life, Damon aswell. I feel lucky to be close to my brother and my mom too.

yeah, I know I was so happy that I have gotten the chance more then once to tell them what an awesome (byt that I mean huge) impact they have made on my life. I mean I really don't know where I would be with out them both. I love them both with all my heart. And you are very lucky to have both your mum and you brother. That's great!

Yeah, let them know how special they are to you... I'll do the same to my family when I see them in Brasil.

you are so sweet. I love people that are so appreciative of what they have...

you have to be... our time on this planet is so short; we might as well make it special.

I truly love your outlook..it's totally amazing. I try and think in the same way as you. sometimes it's harder for me because I do have difficulties with depression...but I try and hold love in my heart and be the best person I can be

i also feel down Shell, and it sometimes is very hard for me to feel positive about this world. I think having good friends, and meeting cool people like yourself, keep me going. For example, I read this article in Greenpeace's website this morning that completely saddened me... but then I just try to step back, take a deep breath, and tell myself that I'll do all of my best to help my world, the people that matter to me ---

I know the problems seem so big and overwhelming, and it seems like there is nothing you can do. I really don't know if there is anything we can do sometimes. but I think it's important to do what we can. and that's really all we can do, whatever we do to lessen our negative impact on the world is better then doing nothing at all.

that's it... and be responsible for our actions.

right, it is so scary sometimes though....I just wish there were more real leaders. lately it just seems as though there is no one saying anything that makes any sense and the ones that are, are sqaushed down, and marganlized by louder more selfish people

The president of Brasil speaks for us. He is the leader of the Worker's party!

that's awesome! do you think you would ever move back there to stay?

if I could take Kevin... and you and Eric!

yay! that would be neat I would love to live somewhere else....

as soon as you leave home... you begin to miss it.

oh I am sure but I would still love the experience
