So last night..

I finally watched a video that I saw being posted all over facebook. I almost did not watch because of the length (30min) But a friend of mine told me to watch it so I did and I am really glad that I did. The video is about a filmmaker, who met a boy out in Uganda. He becomes friends with him and learns his story. He is touched by it and outraged over why it is happening and who is doing these horibble things to the children population there. He promises Jacob (name of the boy) that he will be stopped. So over the course of the years, he sets up an organization called Invisible Children that helps children by providing them jobs, schools, and safe refuge from this guy who is causing this horrific problem. The guy's name is Joseph Kony, and the goal of the video is to make him famous. But not in the normal sense, to glorify and respect him, but so that everyone in the world knows who he is, and what he does. To bring awareness to this cause and pressure the goverment to help out and capture this guy as soon as possible since past efforts to arrest him have failed. I truly support this movement, and I believe it is important to bring awareness to it. I plan on helping as much as I can, and spreading the word out. The only thing that I did not like about the way this all went down, is that many people basically just jumped on what everyone else is doing. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that it did trend, after all, that was the point of the video. If you actually read what I write, you would know that I always say, you should do something because you truly want to, not because the world is doing it. In this case, it was for a good cause so it is not like I can say it's a bad thing. Just don't try to make yourself seem like you truly have interest in issues like these all of a sudden, because stuff like this happens all over the world, all the time. An I never see any one seem like they care. Once again, in case you read over what I said and forget, I am not saying that this trend is a bad thing, it is a good thing. But please, keep this going. Don't let it just be a trend. Keep the awareness going. Post up support. Talk to your family and friends that might have not seen the video or heard about the cause. Now, if I get proven wrong and the world still supports this all the way through, then that would honestly make me so happy. It would be a huge win for the nobleness of humanity, and it would prove that we still have a little bit of goodness in our hearts. This video was suppose to bring everyone together not have people take sides. So we must all unite, which we did right now by posting the video, and stay united, stay motivated to keep supporting. I honestly do not agree with the people who get all offended when something is said. Something that we just want to admit. We all know not everyone did it because they actually care. They did it because the rest of the world did, and thats fine because at least they are spreading the world. But when you get offended by the words that someone said, then there is problem there. Instead of talking shit to the person(s), prove them wrong and show that you are not one of those "bandwaggoners". And no, do not start with me on that word because it is used correctly. Maybe not in the normal sense you think of but the actual definition of it. All that negative bullshit talk that you did, only made the issue a second point at that moment. You take the attention away from the real reason, and it is stupid. And getting that offended, and using that language directly at an individual also says alot about yourself. No, I do not believe I am above others, this is something bigger than all of us. But that doesn't give you the right to think that you are above, because you are proving another theory that I always said, people always want to be superior to others. So enough talk about this particular unimportant issue on an important issue. At the end, the ones who really support it, will keep supporting end of story.
A very important thing that happened with this story blowing up, is that the internet always get a bad rap for being a "waste of time", "place where all the bad things start", "the place for young people to to interact in a neagitve way". Now we can clearly see that it was utilized for a great cause. I really hope everyone takes a moment to research a little more, and spread the word. You can order 25 poster for only $5, and that is a great way to support. You do not have to spend money to support, but if you got a few extra dollars, why not? On april 20th I will be at Coachella. And I will try to post up these posters there, and spread the word. That day will be great, and I hope alot of people join in on helping and make this a huge event in today's society. Something that we can look back on and say " I was part of that movement" Let's do this, along with always remaining postive and supporting many different causes, everyday. Have a great week. Peace and One Love
