letters for chi/ fundraiser/ update and prayers

[Jesus2Chino]

Let me preface this by saying I'm not arguing here, just talking--I'm not angry on any level over anything being discussed here. That being said, I don't think suppressing an instinct to punch someone in the face out of rage, and suppressing the instinct to help someone you feel close to (even if that closeness is illogical) is the same thing. I hope we don't evolve passed the point of helping the ones we care for, especially if the only justification we have for our apathy is that there are others out there with the same problems which we're not reaching. I'm not saying your apathetic over this, as I'm sure you're concerned for Chi as well as others in his, or even more dire, circumstances. I'm also not saying that Chi is on par with my mother or father, as I would jump through many more hoops for them than Chi, as I feel it should be. Unless I am to dedicate my life to the cause of personally funding coma-based research, the best I can do on an individual level is help those I know and care for. I could perhaps become some martyr for the cause and have, in that case, a very minimal chance of making a significant difference--but that is not realistic for most people, including you I'd imagine (not to say I'd discourage an attempt, I'd have nothing but admiration for someone willing to give it a shot). Keeping that in mind, if you're honest with yourself (again, I could be wrong here), you're not going to give all of yourself to the cause of coma research, and thus have almost no chance of making a difference in the cause. Short of that I feel the best you can do is help Chi out, as helping him is very realistic for you, and if it feels terribly wrong to ignore others in need, donate at least an equal if not a greater amount to a fund for research, or hell, perhaps to a complete stranger who is in a coma-based need. Just my two cents.

Much respect,
-Matt

no,i dont think helping people out and punching them in the face is the same thing.
i said that u cant say "instinct" and your actions there for are ok.im talking generally of course.

i just thought that its wierd that famous people who have money,when they get injured, they get even MORE money.
and if you are noone with no money,when u get injured, u dont get any money.

that to me seems wrong, but if the answer is "thats life kid" or "we look out for our own,screw others" and "its animal instict brah!" then ok,just the way it is. i was too much of  a blue eyed naive hippie to have that thought. if chi doesnt have any money im not against people who donate,u can do worse things in life. but im curious where it all went, he got to have some before right.

get well chi!

Some new pics added on Facebook...

Remains a very cool picture.

Down at the local radioshow, we played Headup and asked listeners to donate to oneloveforchi.com if they wanted to, just like last week.
Dunno if it helps. But we have to try.

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

hehe .. chino usually dress cool.. but a winter jacket with a dead fox on the hood round yr neck and shorts and the tube socks to it? . i just dont know..

[Martin]

Very cool!

[Martin]

Hahah true.

[Jacob]

Chino hasn't dressed well since the ATF days, to be honest.

[Vesanic]

I know there is no link with Chi but...


What's your favorite Chino's look ?


The old days with the dreadlocks ?
ATF era with his blondie spikes ?
2000's era with his dark and simple clothes and the " long " hair " ?
The era that followed when he used to wear the " trasher " sweat and the shorter hair ?
2001's european tour with his red shirt and the blond hair again ?
2003's era with the long hair, the sideburns, the blue clothes and the sideburns ?
Or what else ?

[jesusinabowlofdirt]

vesanic my man! youre gonna get shit for posting chino fashion on the Chi's Update and Prayer Thread.. BAIL OUT!

[Vesanic]

Should I get out the country and change my name right now ?


Have you consulted the chart ?

[Jesus2Chino]

Eh, I feel like you've ignored 99% of my post. I in no way said or implied that "thats life kid" or "we look out for our own,screw others" or "its animal instict brah!" I understand what you're saying and you're right, the whole thing sucks. I think your real beef is with our poor healthcare system more than anything else, maybe that's where you should spend your time and money trying to reform. I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but oh well, lol.

Much respect,

Hey come on, it's just a forum you know, made of discussions and stuff.


Yeah Chi is in bad health and he needs help, but do we have to talk only about this ?

I know it's Chi's update thread, but it was just a fuckin' question, has it killed you ? Has it destroyed your life ? No. If you don't give a fuck, then don't even quote me.

Yeah Chino's look is not important, it's like those polls where we get asked " what's your favorite song from white pony ", nobody cares but once again it's a forum.

People are so agressive, jeez.
