DM-FOR THE KIDS!!!
Dance Marathon began yesterday and finished today. 25 hours of no sleep and on your feet. I must say it has been one of the funnest, yet most painful things i've done in my life. For those of you that don;t know what DM is, it's an annual dance marathon at FIU which fundraises money for Children's Miracle Network, teh foundation at miami childrens hospital. Basically you have to fundrasie money to be a dancer, moraler, or any other thing. I was a dancer this year and plan on doing it every following year. NO SITTING OR SLEEPING FOR 25 hours!!! crazy i tell you but definitely worht it. after seeing all teh testimonies from those little kids it feel damn GOOD to know i sacrificed my time and my body, which is in mad pain right now, for them.
so i woke up yesterday at 7:30 a.m. and didn't go to sleep till 5 p.m. today. like 34 hours or something of being awake. anywho, everything started out yesterday when i got to school and registered. the theme this year was superheroes. my team was the quailmen superstars. zo made us queailment costumes but we looked more like teh penis heads...lol. zo was my morale captain which was cool. then everything got started 12. everyone was hyped up up and there were different activites going on. there was a rock climbing, games, radio stations that came, dance contests (dm 360...lol)laser tag, performances, and the BOUNCE HOUSE>>>MY FAVE!!! we'd lay down in it any possible time we could and when we saw a morale cpt. we'd be like OMG WE FELL---haha. i loved it! we did the line dance which was never ending but super fun. i'd have to say that at like 4 a.m. i was still full of energy. my body still had enegery but my feet were giving out. they hurt like crazy. we were all delirous at that point. vane was my partner in crime when it came to that...lol. (gimme my chapstick man, WHIP IT!! u wanna see my choclate teeth...lmao) jill was my partner in crime when it came to fidning ways of sneaking any kind of sit-down time. (let's go to teh bathroom...lol) it was awesome to see people go and support too. caro came and hung otu which was great! carlo and manny showed up drunk as hell which was funny. in the bounce house carlo fkn fell on my back and now it's hurting but it was hilarious....lmao.laser tags was sooo much fun! ahhhh 5 minutes of sitting down there!!!! and i still won ....lol. i have to say my fave thing was doing the line dance with vane at like 4 in the morning. I WAS CRAZY!!!!!! whip it, lean back (i'll cut u nigguh..lol) thriller, sopa de caracol, agua mala, party boyyyyyyyyyy!!!! haha good times girl, but ummm my lips hurt REAL BAD!! good thing i had my handy dadny chapstick...lmao. omg we were all so delirously random. anything was l;laughing material, we'd jump for no reason, ahhhhhhhhh!!!! omg i dont know how to describe it. the postal service area was great. each dancer had a little bag which was their mailbox. then people could leave them mail. thank you raynard morgan for making me laugh...lol. i swear coloring and writing notes was my therapy while doing teh flamingo.lol. at like 7-8 in teh morning i was in pain though. i got the worst stomach ache /cramp thing in teh world and i felt like throwing up. at that poiunt every one was at their all time low. people were crying, cramping, falling alseep standing up, seeing double, getting dizzy, everything man!!! at that point u honestly don;t know if ur body is gonna give out or not. they made us do massage activities which were great!!! i honestly have to give it to the morale captains, they are great people. those poor kids sacrificed any spare time that they could get to help us out. the last final line dance was AWESOME !!! it felt soooo good to know u finished! seeing everything come to a close was so sad but heartwarming. we raised over 77 thousand dollars!!! i swear, this has been one of the best experiences of my life. seeing college KIDS come together for this is spectacular! apart from that u get sooo much close to people! i swore to myself that DM is something i will do every year that i't at FIU!!! to my fellow dancers, u guys are great!! GOOD TIMES man!
