Kicked off of American Idol, then Facebook, and now…Myspace! I’m really on a roll!

I feel like Captain Jack Sparrow, receiving a smack to the face and thinking outloud, “I don’t think I deserved that”, then after getting smacked again, “I may have deserved that one!”

I’ve had my Myspace artist page for about two years now, and have gotten used to changing my password every few weeks to keep the hackers from accessing my page. Well, I let a few months slip away without taking care of this routine maintenance, and apparently someone got into my account again. In the past, when this happened, my account would just be blocked and I’d be able to unblock it. But this time, it was completely deleted. I blame the one-armed man—it’s all his fault!

I had about 11,000 fans on my page when it was deleted, but if they were true fans, I’m sure they’ll find my page again. It’s a little annoying that I have to start all over, but with these huge networking sites, there’s really not much else I can do. At least Myspace will let me back on—American Idol and Facebook have decided to kick me off for good (I tried to get back onto American Idol and sneak into the top 24…ok, wait…no I didn’t actually do that…).

So anyway, my Myspace URL is still the same, you’ll just notice that I’m Mr. Johnny-No-Mates right now because I don’t have any friends…don’t you feel sorry for me now…

The event formerly known as the Facebook Experiment to Fight Cancer

So I'm following in Prince's footsteps as I change the name of my charity event to:
The event formerly known as The Facebook Experiment to Fight Cancer.

Apparently Facebook kicked me off their site, without any rhyme or reason, but my guess is it's because I included their name in this event. I wish they would've just asked me to change the name of the event, or at least give me some kind of warning. But it's just Facebook, so it doesn't really matter. I'll send them emails to appeal, but I'm not holding my breath for them to respond.

The funny thing is, I just sent a bulletin post praising Facebook for being so much better than Myspace. Yet here I am on Myspace without a Facebook account. Nothing like a little cruel irony to start my day.

I wonder if Facebook saw me get kicked off of American Idol, and decided to get wise and do the same. Lol. I didn't realize I was such a hell raiser!

Well, my charity event will go undeterred, regardless of this set back. My cause is still the same, and this charity event will go forward! Once again, I appreciate your support for my fight against Cancer.

Between now and Christmas of 2008, 100% of the proceeds generated from the sales of my upcoming single, “Never for My Sake” will be donated to Gateway for Cancer Research. I feel like I’ve been really fortunate this past year in both my personal life and with my music and I wanted a way to give back by contributing to a cause I really believe in.

Here’s the reason I chose Gateway for Cancer Research:
My brother was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He underwent brain surgery and the surgery was successful in removing the tumor. However, it’s not over yet, as he has another treatment scheduled to, hopefully, finish it all off, and we’re hoping and praying for it to do just that.

This experience with my brother has brought me to an awareness of the dangers of cancer, and has inspired me to take action. So I came across Gateway for Cancer Research and found it to be an effective organization dedicated to curing cancer through funding patient-centered clinical studies that make an impact on those battling cancer.
