“You’ve been living life like it’s a sequel
And your already bored with the plot
As if the cast and the score
Are more money than before
But the script and the backdrop are stock” – Switchfoot ,C’mon C’mon [Lyrics]

If you are like me you often times will hear a song and fall in love with it. I find myself doing this a lot with songs by Switchfoot. The song C’mon C’mon is about how we need to stop talking about change and start changing. I am learning every day that I am having a passion for changing this world starting with changing myself. It’s interesting that when you ask someone what is wrong with this world they will say things like “lack of love”, “people hate to much”, “isolation”, and “selfishness.” Then you ask them the million dollar question, what are you doing about it. Often times this leads to silence, awkward silence.

“There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we’d all love one another.” -Frank Zappa

This is another one of my life mottos that I try to live by that we all need to love each other. Well by now I have realized (and I’m sure you have too) that I have no idea where I am going with this blog entry so I will close with this. Try each day to love each other whatever the cost.

This is going to be a different type of blog than I normally write. Instead of being about the craziness of the world, or the happenings of my life, this blog is going to about causes I support. I’ve been on this thing for the last year or so where I’ve been looking at a lot of non-profit and even some profit organizations that are trying to better the world. This blog is going to be a list of those organizations.

The HOPE Project- Providing education, health care and hope for the children in Moshi, Tanzania.

The Bridge- A simple act of art can help support the cause of your choice. Love requires action.

To Write Love on Her Arm(twloha) -to stop depression and substance abuse through love

Invisible Children-fighting for peace in Uganda

Free Rice-play a vocabulary game to end world hunger

Well, I’m now officially an adult adult. I believe there are a few stages of adulthood there are the 18 year old “adults” who gain most of their freedoms’ but still have a lot of figuring out to do. Then you have your 21 year old “adults.” Where the government hopes you got all the “figuring out”, figured out between the ages of 18-21. Then there is, of course, the 25 year old “adults” by this time you have apparently become not only an expert drive but also an expert cheapskate at life and therefore you save money on car insurance.

I’ve learned a lot between the ages of 18-21. One of the things that I’ve been learning and thinking about a lot is the difference between what one could do and what one should do. As I get older and wiser(well older at least) I’m finding out that sometimes in life just because you can do something and maybe it’s not even something that is “wrong”, “bad”, or even “unintelligent” that doesn’t always mean you should do it. However, let’s not get caught up what we can and can’t do. Let’s stop focusing on what we could do and started focusing on what we should (or shouldn’t) do and make this world a better place.

P.S. Thanks for all the myspace/facebook birthday comments and wishes.
