We are the World

I remember very clearly 25 years ago when this song/video came out. I was a HUGE Michael Jackson fan at the time and the message that was being sent out to call attention to the difficulties in Africa was deeply impacting. I remember the emotions it invoked in me. It was amazing. My heart was drawn to Africa. Who would've guessed 25 years later I would be in the process of adopting 2 kids from Africa? Crazy.

I remember thinking how cool it was that a whole bunch of celebrities go together, pt aside their egos and gave their time to raise money and awareness to a part of the world that was going through a difficult time. I wanted to do something. I needed to do something. I didn't know what that would be. It was similar to Hands Across America. Similar in that it was hitting a cause that was important to me. I actually went to New York City with a bunch of people from my high school to participate in that one.

Now, 25 years later, they have updated the song. A new batch of celebrities (some returners); a new twist to the song (some rap in the end); a new cause (helping people who are suffering from the earthquake in Haiti). Check out the 2 videos below. How many celebs can you identify?

T-Pain and President Obama

Ok, if you have an iPhone you know that there is an app for pretty much anything. One of the hottest apps to hit the app store recently is the "I Am T-Pain" app which does an autotune of your voice and makes you sound like T-Pain does in his songs. I have it and it is a lot of fun to play with. I see endless possibilities coming up in the near future. Yes, you can count on hearing a song recorded by me using this app. I am busy working on it as we speak (so to speak). You gotta check out this video clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live  with T-Pain and President Obama.
Oh man is this funny.
