so i haven't blogged in a while. Some people know that i'm crap with routine. It's just not the way i work. I go through spates of doing things and setting things up and then i just drop them. I work in mysterious ways so suck it up. :) that being said i'll only do this on occasion mostly i prefer to vlog my thoughts. I think i'm better at vlogging than blogging so i'll try and do more of those gawd i really need to plan my videos. Write a script of some description so they actually say what i want them to say. I need to stop being the kid who makes vaguely interesting videos. 

I want to compel people to think to to act and to take notice of what i say. 

Thats what i think the modern world needs to be about. It's time to drop our colorful exterior and shape up. We've spent to long with our condiments, our televisions and our gadgets. We spend to long teaching our kids how to set there hair right and to little time schooling them in the art of taking action. I'm as much a guilty party in this as anyone. I'm an intensely shy person. We all need to stand up voice our ideas and our soul get people to listen to who we are and what we want heard. We are each great individuals and have our own wonderful opinions but they need to be allowed to take shape. Action is what allows us to build our opinions. The courage to read the news, to accept that the world isn't sunshine and roses. The humanity to realize that other humans will never be inspired will never hear the lifting words of hope and opportunity that we are all exposed to. We get told to stand up for others and to heed the call to the take the arms of the weak and hoist them on high. While this is good advice it's a fair leap. The beginning needs to be everyone standing up for themselves, if your own house is falling down and you need to keep propping it up it's very hard to go help your neighbor keep his standing. So have the courage to not just face but defeat your aggressors, those things in your life that keep you from being who you truly are. Conquer your meekness your shyness your phobias and then we can hoist the disadvantaged to our loftily obtained pastures

  1. Awesome post, great idea. Now if it can just get some folks behind it. You should also post your vlogs or links to your vlogs up here, just in case people aren't familiar with you on youtube.

  3. Wow, that's an amazing speech. I think that if you keep saying stuff like that, you could be the next MLKjr. It really made me smile and want to go give money away or something.
