I’ve got some exciting news to share! My brother, Michael Luongo, is going to be interviewed on NBC 6′s Live Miami (the same show I was on five years ago) on Monday, April 30 at 11AM EST! Mike has been a professional comic for many years, performing for fans (adults and children) across the country. On Live Miami, Mike will talk about Stand-Up For Kids, his unique, hysterical elementary school assembly program that teaches character and life skills through the art of live stand-up comedy.
I have seen my brother follow his passion for most of my life. He NEVER stops. I can’t tell you how many times people ask him why he’s not a big star! Well, in order for that to happen, Mike needs to get national attention in a BIG way. Mike is one of eleven children – there are six boys and five boys, of which I am the youngest. Our Mom has Alzheimer’s; she has ALWAYS been Mike’s biggest supporter. It is our wish that Mom can see Mike make it BIG before her memory vanishes forever.
Mike’s dream is to travel around the country and bring his message of hope to underprivileged kids. He needs your help to make his dream a reality. Please visit Mike’s donation page at http://www.gofundme.com/stand-up-for-kids
Get on the Stand-Up For Kids VANwagon! Donate any amount you can afford so Mike can reach his goal. To show his appreciation and gratitude, Mike will perform Stand-Up For Kids for FREE in schools that cannot afford to pay for it. Having a van would allow him to do this because he would not have to pay for airfare, hotel accommodations, travel expenses like renting a car, etc.
Please help my brother get an RV! Share the link to his donation page with everyone you know. Tweet the information. RE-tweet it. Post the link on facebook, and other social media sites. Make a donation if you can. Any amount helps. Let’s all stand up for kids everywhere.

I want to be free
to be me
the person I am
not the person
the world
wants me to be
Free me with your love
I want to be accepted as a
beautiful, intelligent woman
Love me for my:
body, mind, and spirit
I want to experience true love
the kind that tastes sweet
like chocolate
soft and soothing
rich in flavor and texture
Intoxicate me with your love
I want to be honored
like a queen on her throne
Respect me with honesty
I want to feel special
irreplaceable and unforgettable
admire me
like an original painting
with beautiful, vibrant colors
Treasure me with kindness.
Free me
Love me
Intoxicate me
Treasure me
Do you want to FLIRT?

Game Over

I’ve played your game
and now I’m done
for it is a game
I could never have won
I wanted you to care
I wished you would share
I should have known better
games aren’t always fair
The more I played
the more I learned
love and trust
must be earned
for if it is not
you will always
get burned
I’ve played your game
and now I’m done
but don’t ever think
that means you won.

Lovers in the Night

The attraction between us
is so painful
it hurts to look
into each other’s eyes
We’ve fought this feeling
for far too long
giving into our desires
cannot be wrong
Tonight is the right time
for us to be
lovers in the night.
