So I though an update appropriate. I am currently involved in a handful of protests and my toes are in the door of a charity here and there.
The man in the apartment above me- Ziggy, they call him- yelled down to me the other day: "Let's start a revolution!" My heart leaped up and my hand slapped down on my old wooden stool as I vocalized agreement. By golly, you're on to something, pal. Ziggy, or Bradley, is preparing a sizable paper for submission to the city and school authorities. It advocates better bicycle rights. His comment on revolution was response to my article published last week. Colter Nattrass and Matthew Kiddle also wrote Letters to the Editor in response, calling for regulation reform.
College will be abused in the near future. Torn to shreads in similar fashion to those poor old boys of 1st West. If we don't remember our past, we will lose our future, said Ssimbwa of Uganda. That's the truth. College ave. is no place for enormous towers. Especially not when poleline road is undeveloped for miles. Build elsewhere- not on top of history. Keep Rexburg Real.
On that same note, I attended the chaotic feeding ceremony of Kiwi Loco this weekend, and they were immediately replaced onto the boycott list. Thousands of flavors and none of them come close to Mill Hollow. And its not Rexburgian. Go elsewhere. The King's Fort is no place for you. I don't want to place yogurt in my own cup.
Future Protest. The schools refusal to allow fund-raising. I'm unaware as to the motives as of yet: if they are good, which I assume they are, I will not protest, if they aren't, I will. Their policy was brought to my attention tonight at the viewing of Cultured Pearl: Voices from Uganda. The after party in the lobby. We talked and chitted and chatted about fund-raising. Brenna and her pal Lexi desired to form a group on campus for next semester, in hand with Invisible Children. Their previous fundraising attempts were shut down. Brother Piggot's was as well. Hence the showing of the documentary off campus at the cheap theatre. The why will be investigated.
I will be working with enoughtospare.org in the future, Piggot's site. Perhaps renovating it for him. I love volunteering. I could see Brenna's excitement.
Charity. Now that I am receiving some money for my photography I plan on donating 50 percent of the profits to charities supporting preventive measures. Preferably disaster prevention. If anybody know's of some, let me know.
That's it folks.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
I'll join the bike revolution! I have never seen such entitled pedestrians; they need to share the roads/sidewalks just like cars and bikes. Back in my hometown there isn’t a problem with pedestrians and moving vehicles, you know why? Where taught that although we have the right of way if we get hit we’re going to lose, I might put a dent in your dumper but that’s it. You don’t see this horrible pedestrian attitude down there. Cyclist and cars show courtesy and pedestrians look both ways and stay to one side of the side walk instead of walking in the middle and getting mad whenever someone passes them. It’s ridiculous! Something needs to be done.
