In 1971 Nike Inc adopted the slogan “just do it.” I find this slogan to be a very interesting one. The slogan could mean a plethora of things depending on the meaning of the word “it” in the saying. Maybe, “it” is interpreted as a positive thing thus encouraging one do something positive. Perhaps, “it” is negative promoting various types of misconduct in society. Although “it” could be anything it’s interpreted to be, I believe “it” may just mean living life and doing what needs to be done.

As expressed in my previous entry I often struggle with lack of motivation. It’s not until I come to the realization that I need to “just do it.” I need to stop waiting for the world to change and start changing the world. I need to stop not pursuing my dreams and just start doing whatever “it” is that will help me obtain my goals.

I guess you can really learn a thing or two from capitalist America

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

Ever have what you think is a great idea that just doesn’t turn out the way you planed it? That very thing was my Tuesday night. Let me give you a bit of a back-story; at work my boss has been telling me for quite some time that I needed a hair cut. Let me pause here a moment to say that I’m the kinda of person who doesn’t believe in spending a lot of money on clothes, haircuts, and other things that “make you look attractive.” Needless to say I didn’t really a) think I needed a hair cut and b) didn’t really want to pay for one. So at about 10:30 on that idol Tuesday I asked my brother if he had ever cut hair. He looked at me and said “I’m willing to give it a try if you are.”

This lead to the top 5 things I never want to hear the person cutting my hair say:

5. Well the barber does it a whole lot more.
4. Oh, that’s how I should have done it from the beginning.
3. How did I mess that up?
2. We can always shave it.
1. We are now trying from good, to sorta ok.

and now for your viewing enjoyment….

Since this is my first blog entry I figured I would set the scene. The purpose of this blog is to tell you what is going on in my life as well as provide you with random fun, geeky and even sometimes crazy information. I would also like to note, I am not a literary scholar. Therefore, if you are an: English teacher, writer, grammar Nazi, or most likely if you have a high school diploma, you will find all sorts of grammar issues and spelling mistakes. Don’t let this get to you, and I will do my best to keep them out of this blog but I make no promises. This Blog isn’t designed to be published or looked over with a fine tooth comb. It is meant to be more of a Journal or online diary.

Why have a public diary you might ask? For me, blogging isn’t about keeping secrets from the world, keeping them in a little black diary that i hid under my bed hoping that no one will find it. It’s about life, love, and, people. I will use this blog as a point to look back on my life and to see how I have, or haven’t, grown up.

Feel free to at any time leave comments about what I write as I do care about what you think. It is my goal that we are able to learn from each other.

Let the saga begin!
