I could really use a wish right now.

'Airplane' by B.o.B. featuring Paramore's Hayley Williams. It's amazing.

Vote to give this idea 250K: Launch Liberty House and provide assistance to NK refugees in the US. With funding, LiNK will:

• Provide housing for North Korean refugees once resettled in the U.S.
• Provide food for North Korean refugees once resettled in the U.S.
• Facilitate language acquisition and cultural orientation for refugees.
• Provide job training, and career counseling for refugees.
• Provide medical and psychological services for North Korean refugees.

Oh, boy. I love this man.

"Did a Bunch of Young People Just Get the Most Stubborn Senator in Congress to Say 'Yes'?"

WE DID IT! After 262 hours aka 11 days of camping on the streets of Oklahoma City, Senator Coburn has released his hold on the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act! This means that the bill will now be released onto the floor of the senate, and bar no more holds, continue on to the House of Representatives. The bill already has 62 cosponsors in the senate, so there should be no problems. This bill would provide $40 million to aid in the rebuilding and recovery of war-torn Northern Uganda.

The bill has already made history as 1) the most public piece of legislature dealing with Africa, and 2) the most cosponsors (218) ever on a bill for Africa. Let's keep going. This not only aids in relief efforts, but brings attention to the genocides happening all over the world.

WE FUCKING DID IT!

Update: Yesterday afternoon the bill was passed UNANIMOUSLY in the Senate! That means it could be law in as little as 2 months.

In the future...

I really hope/think that in the way distant future, society will buttfuck itself so much with all it's technological bullshit that we're all brought back to the Mennonite way. At least then the Amish can give us all a big "fuck you."

In with the (sort of) new.

I dyed my hair back to brown today. It hasn't been one color since 8th grade. It's been blonde, pink, magenta, purple, light pink, gray, etc. Now it's "Medium Natural Brown" with reddish highlights on accident. I like it. I had grown tired of the same old bleached out, dead look.

I'm turning my life around. In school I'm starting to buckle down and actually study and do the work. I'm trying to eat healthier and drink more water. Etc, etc. I'm just trying to take a more proactive role in life.
