despite all my cynicism.... PEOPLE CARE!!! i dont know if you've ever seen the Invisible Children movie. wow. it's hardcore. it's about children who are orphaned and/or forced to runaway so that they wont be KIDNAPPED and FORCED to kill for one warlord or another in Uganda, Africa. man, it gets to me just remembering it. anyway, at the encouragement of a friend (thanks, Rhiannon) i went to invisiblechildren.com and there's a video showing 20-something people--it doesnt even have clips from the movie--going out for a tour for awareness.
seeing people actually RALLYING for JUSTICE really freakin excites me. i got all teary-eyed passionate just watching these "young adults" (what a bullshit term that's used to keep those of us in our prime down) jump around (the music sure helped incite emotion, too). thank God for people.
anyway, check out this specific video i'm talking about and others at http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMovie/media/index.php?mediaID=1003816137

- i really love people to become better versions of themselves, and a personal conviction is that being a good reader is vital to that end (because better readers are better thinkers, and better thinkers figure out that they should [and how to] grow into better selves). in my excitement about all of the reading techniques i've been learning, i decided to share them, and thus, this blog was born. enjoy what you read, give the techniques a whirl, and feel free to leave a comment telling me how they are working out for you. happy reading, happy thinking!
