Did I Say I Wanted To Be A Hippie?

Ok, so last week, I talked about peace, love and Bob Marley… or whatever the third thing hippies like is. That was before I saw this video though.

I have a strong feeling that these people not only love the tress, but they probably also smoke them.

Of all the things to be concerned about (war, abortion, poverty, genocide) how can this be your primary concern? People are wiggidy-wack.

Can you imagine if some extra terrestrial being came across this movie and had to base their conceptions of humans off of these hyper-emotional, completely detached granolas?

Favorite quotes from the video:

“There are some people here who do care! So I want you to know that trees!”

“Bring me to to this rock that has the most incredible life. That makes me feel alive.”

“I didn’t scream and I didn’t cry… and I need to. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” (This is the part where I start laughing uncontrollably.)

Political Progress…

As the nation points fingers of scorn at a poor teenage girl’s pregnancy, watches in anticipation as political candidates fling mud at each other with more zeal than a troupe of diarrhetic monkeys throw poop, and rant and rave over hollow, meaningless speeches intended to unite the masses, I sit at my computer doodling on Photoshop.

All of this political hullabaloo just makes me ill. What ever happened to integrity and compromise?

I know nobody is perfect. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, including the McCains and the Obamas. I have learned, especially as of late, that it’s important to forgive people of their faults. It’s a treacherous habit to hold someone’s past against them. Everyone should be given the opportunity to change and improve.

That doesn’t mean I have to vote for them though.

I mean, honestly, since when has democracy been a true false question? What ever happened to the good old multiple choice?

In protest to our broken democratic system of checks and balances, and in support of the UVU Colbert Room, I have designed this t-shirt. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the UVU Colbert Room Fund until we reach our goal!

Help me spread the word by throwing a link to the CafePress store on your blog/website. Together we can make a difference… and get a few laughs along the way.

$100 - I Smell Freedom!

Well, my friends, I have officially hit the first $100 mark for the infamous fund raiser for the Colbert Room of Light, Knowledge and Truthiness.

I have decided that I am willing to subject myself to various reader-suggested dares that will result in public ridicule if certain monetary goals are reached. I would obviously post the results of these humiliating experiences on the internets for all to see.

If you have any ideas for outrageous challenges*, along with associated dollar total benchmarks, please leave them in the comments.

Also, if you happen to have $5 laying around, please donate to the cause.

*Nothing illegal… and don’t worry mom, I’m not going to give up my virginity.

Going Green… or Orange

I saw this cool video today and thought I’d share it with you all. It’s a fantastic idea that provides people with the means to make a significant difference environmentally without drastically changing their daily habits. The idea is based on harnessing the power of the average consumer using positive cooperation to unite consumers and companies… really, it’s such a great idea. Check it out…
