Confessions of a sad superhero book 11


Today I behaved like a superhero should.

I was on one of my favorite websites today. Ign.com Which used to be called "Game Sages" I always go there to read news regarding comic books, videogames and other pop culture nerd stuff. I noticed they have this humble bundle thing going on. This is a charity related promotion where you buy games and the proceeds go towards helping a cause. In this case its fighting racism. So I decided I should do it. I guess this is something I don't talk much about but I do try to give to causes when I can. A little change here and there. For example when I make purchases on Amazon money goes towards the NY gay basketball team. In the market when I am buying groceries and the cashier asks me to donate I usually say YES. Whether its for a disaster or cancer or whatever I can afford a dollar or two. No biggie and also I used to give money to the police dept to help towards raising money for kids. When I worked for Guardsmark money would come out of my check for charity. The reason I am putting this out there is because I want to maybe get other folks thinking about "paying it forward". You see it might sound corny but each of us should be trying to give to make a difference. After all we're not all here just to suck up oxygen and most likely somewhere down the road someone probably helped YOU out too....

I have been backing Kickstarter projects and I am even getting involved with SGT James business with ATM machines. I'd like to help him grow his business and it would be a nice way to generate some extra income as I plan my departure from the LGBT center later this year (Or early 2021) When I am better off financially I'd like to donate even more money towards causes I believe in. This is something that is important to me and I want people to know it because its a part of me.
