Joey Uriegas is alive and well. Thank goodness.
This site was an idea I had a year ago, just an experiment to support a friend. At first I thought we’d take donations and I had a PayPal button over there on the right. >>>
Then I thought we’d use it as a way to get Joey online. But he doesn’t like the internet too much. At least right now.
Then I wondered if I had done this site to make myself feel better about not being with Joey more. Or to somehow make myself a better person.
What I have come to know in these few months since I launched this site, is this:
We all touch each other’s lives in so many ways. Ways we don’t even know.
Social media is beginning to bring those connections back up for review. The last time I saw Joey, it was like we were still in high school. Are there many friends that you feel this way about, just chatting with them on the phone?
If the answer is yes, then reach out and let them know. You don’t have to launch a WordPress site to do it.
And on the other hand… If you need to launch a WordPress site, then DO IT.
Along the way, a number of people have found this site and thanked me for writing about Joey, for putting the information up, for reconnecting them with each other.
And a number of people have contacted Joey as a result of this blog. wOOt! That my friends and fellow travellers, was the point of this blog all along. Together we ROCK.
