My Journey

I'm not Handicapped, I'm Handicapable.
(and no i didnt get that from due date lol)

I left home and drove from nj to california in search of an independent life and safe access to my medicine* so i can live. It's been an interesting journey, lots of ups, lots of downs, and even though I am now weaker than ever...nothing will ever stop me from living my dream, regardless of how long I get to live.

Life is too precious and short to waste time. And I'm Ready.

The three videos below are before and after i left nj, an interview with the Washington Post during my road trip, some audition, and one other one hahaha idk i didnt set up the web site, im kinda lost there :P below that are blog entries! thank you!

Help to save Mikey's life

As you know, Mikey has always been able to smile through the pain, no matter what, until recently. The pain in his stomach is now worse than ever and has led to an inability to eat, causing rapid weight loss. At 6'1", he's a meager 75 lbs and dropping fast. It's getting more difficult for Mikey to smile through the pain and fear.

One of the only places where Mikey can get help is the MAYO clinic in Minnesota. There, a team of specialized doctors will work together to figure out how his illnesses affect each other and can be treated to restore health and balance to his body so he can keep living his incredible life.

All of this obviously comes with a large amount of costs, which can only be covered with the help and donations of as many people as possible – even if it's just a dollar. Please click on one of the two following links to access the crowd funding campaigns that will help Mikey get better. Thank you!

I did it :)

Posted by Mikey
November 28th 2008, 4 years ago, I left NJ. Drove with no direction other then warm and west, with a new MacBook and camera and no clue what to do. Today I celebrate 4 years of living the "impossible" life of a disabled man living alone in LA. To all the people who had no faith in me, and ditched me as a friend, said cruel things to me..... NANY NANY POO POO!!!!
Haha I DID IT, I SURVIVED, I DROVE EVERY MILE 3 times cross country, changed a law in NJ, battled starvation, spoke at schools, countless newspapers and interviews, no help, often no bathroom.....(yeah...ya get creative hah), falling out of my chair countless times, almost died countless times. IT'S BEEN A BUMPY BEAUTIFUL ROAD AND STILL IS!!! LOL And I'm here telling you it was all worth it. Realizing your dream is the best feeling in the world, add being someone people look up to.... I have the greatest life of any man on earth.

I couldn't be happier in this moment, and I only plan to make things better and better :)

And I'm damn proud of myself :')

Just thinking of all the things that has happened brings tears to my eyes it's so beautiful to me. I just love the universe, I love life and I love all of you. Haters, lovers, friends, family, I love you.

I LOVE YOU!

I DID IT!!!!!!! :D
