tweet tweet

ok so now i have kinda immersed myself into the tweet and twatter (hehe). it really has no relevance here because i'm sure 99% of the people don't really care what i'm doing. i have utilized the status streaming social network of twitter to introduce and educate myself on other great charitable organizations. some i found are a tad strange o_O but a lot of them tug at my heart strings. among my favourite charities that i contribute annually; alzhiemer's, heart and stroke, wwf & cancer research.

i am going to utilize my american bank account to contribute to these organizations as well. i don't have much but i'm willing to help.

i am trying to gather people in toronto to come out to do the walk on the 25th at dundas square. i was watching law & order one night and they did an episode on child soldiers. kidnapped and trained to be militants. even though it was a tv show, it was a sad moment to face reality that there are kids out there who are suffering so much because of the choices of adults. in this western society, we are fortunate to be free to enjoy a childhood..hopscotch, skip rope.. whatever it may be. it pains me to know of the hardships so many people go through.

i'm angry because i feel like i can't do enough
i'm sad because i want to save everyone and i know i can't
i'm hopeful because there are others out there that will help

maybe you don't know me or don't care to know me. please take the time to acquaint yourself with the socioeconomic issues that are plaguing our world. just because we live in canada doesn't mean what goes on elsewhere isn't our problem.. because it is.

i wish i was rich so i can spend my time helping ppl
i wish i could scream the msg out to one and all
i wish i could hug those who need the hug
i wish i could stop the abuse and hopelessness
i wish i could make ppl see the value of innocence in the eyes of a child
i wish i could let all kids just be kids

i work a 9-5 and i do what i can to help out. pls talk to your friends, family, coworkers or that guy you sit beside on the bus.. let them know about the many things that need our help. it is out world and before we can really claim it.. we have to recogize the problems and at least TRY within our powers to fix em.

maybe my efforts are futile and no one cares what i write. but i am writing, and i'm letting you all know how much i feel for these things. at least look into the sites i linked and then you can decide for yourself. spread those links across the intraweb communities.
