Been reading some stuff online about net neutrality.  Some scary stuff out there.  I realize that most people are busy and dont have the time to research things on their own.  I respect that and have decided to use my spare time to gather some of the information into one place so you dont have to do it yourself.  Any support on this issue is greatly appreciated.

The actual website:

The link below takes you to the actual, save the internet, website.  It has a giant red button near the top that says “Act Now” click on that and then choose the first option.  It takes about one minute to fill out the information and send an email to our congressman.

It also has a good bit of information about what net neutrality is. Here is a direct link to the FAQ about net neutrality.

Here’s an askaninja video on the issue:

A good vox video on the issue:

This video is the best one I’ve found so far as far as information goes.  Got some commentary from the inventor of the internet and some congressman.  Very important watch.  It runs about 10 minutes.

Another good video:

I appreciate any of the time you have spent here on this site.  This issue is extremely important and could change the future if not passed.

So I watched the movie “Accepted” today and while I know this is a little late I still feel its worth mentioning.  The movie was actually very funny but the main point is that It made me think a little bit.  It really went well with the things I’ve been trying to change in my life.  I’ve been trying to become a better person, think about what I want, and start writing more.  The last part being one of the most important parts of my metamorphisis.

Robyn and I are going to try to set dates for goals we have for our writing.  One of those goals is going to start next week, in which we will start writing one story for 15 minutes every day.  We will slowly up that time as we go along to try to get ourselves into the “writing mode”.  My problem has always been that I never write, her problem has always been she never writes the same thing.  So we want to combine our problems into one goal so that we can both work together to help eachother.  Thus we must write for a set amount of time (minimum) but it has to be the same story, every time, until finished.

I also want to keep up with this journal even when all the other previous times have failed… Oh well, I have to start somewhere.

Anyways, Accepted got me thinking about college and how I still play on getting a journalism associates degree at sinclair, I do not infact plan on going any farther.  This may seem like a childish move, but I dont think that everyone has the same path.  Everyone needs to find themself and I think an associates is all I really need to get to where I want to be.  If I need to get farther I can just go back to school. All I’ve ever wanted to do is write and do things I enjoy.  I also want to travel, thus journalism.  I can write, travel and do the other media related things during my spare time.

Ah well, I plan on having at least one good entry ever day or so.  The other stuff will probably be product plugs and reviews or things i found interesting.
