He is however a dear friend of Barry. Barry being the founder of <a href=\\\"http:\/\/anatometal.com\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Anatometal<\/a>, (where Brian also worked) is someone that I not only love\/adore and respect but I also consider him one amazing friend as well. \u00a0The one thing I love about modified culture is loyalty and Barry has certainly earned it. \u00a0So that being said, my heart hurts. Not only for Barry, for Brian\\&#8217;s family that was left behind including his two young children Indigo &amp; Violet. \u00a0I knew the soul sucking heartache that I had when I found out about Jason, it was the first time that I had ever had to bury a friend and it rocked me to the core of a soul I didn\\&#8217;t even know that I had. \u00a0I can not imagine having to go through such a\u00a0traumatic\u00a0loss as a child. \u00a0Barry has set up an account for Brian\\&#8217;s children. \u00a0Anatometal will match every single donation dollar for dollar.<\/p>\n<p><em>Which I think is amazing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em>When I get paid, i\\&#8217;ll be doing my part and making a donation on behalf of myself and <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.notafraidofyourpain.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">NAYOP<\/a> as well. \u00a0I can\\&#8217;t do much, but I can at the very least do this. \u00a0If you work in the modification industry and want to help out, here\\&#8217;s a flier that you can download and print out to be posted in your establishment:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\\\"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Brian-Flier-full-page.jpg\\\"><img class=\\\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1865\\\" title=\\\"Brian Flier - full page\\\" src=\\\"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Brian-Flier-full-page-300x194.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" height=\\\"194\\\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On a final note of things that are important: The school that I work at, along with my company <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChefStephMTL\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">Stuff by Chef Steph<\/a>\u00a0(along with countless others) are supporting <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.togetherisamazing.com\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\">together is amazing.<\/a>\u00a0 As I posted on my facebook page: <em>\\&#8221;One thing I\\&#8217;ve noticed is how generous people are around Christmas when it comes to helping the less fortunate. What about now? Food banks are running on empty and as a Chef, I can\\&#8217;t let anyone starve. It goes against everything I stand for. \u00a0It could be you who needs these services someday. Think about it!\\&#8221; \u00a0<\/em>The bottom line is this: someday you could be low on tangible income, unable to feed yourself or your family. \u00a0It can happen to anyone, at anytime. \u00a0If this was you and you needed these services, you would be pretty damn grateful for the kindness of others. \u00a0Also? It\\&#8217;s a really easy way to give back to your community. \u00a0Caroline wanted to point out this:\u00a0At the bottom of the page, there is a video, for every view, Shaw will Donate 1$ and Campbell\\&#8217;s\u00a0Canada will donate 1 pound of food to local Food Banks, up to\u00a0$250,000 and 250,000 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>So get off your ass and do something good for someone, somewhere. Pay it forward day should be everyday.<\/p>\n<p><em> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please spread this post like it\\&#8217;s\u00a0herpes! The one planet project.
