It's easy to dwell in cynicism. But that makes that what you're cynical over a self-fullfiling prophecy. We don't have that luxury. No one does.

Fuck cancer.

I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!

Onsite, of course, we must be restrained and observe proper decorum.

(Note: you must be 21 or over and there is a 2-drink minimum. For us, at least.)

I loved bartending; but omg there were certain nights I absolutely dreaded because of exactly this kind of shit.
