Pokemon Go in A Small Town

This is enlightening article from Amanda Gamble who is a friend of mine from Tumblr. She is an urban explorer among many other things. She talks about doing Pokemon Go in a small town. It’s not easy to do it in the same way it’s done in a more urban area.

Status Update

Tuesday is going by SO slow. Can this thing speed up a bit. Time is going by at a snails pace. I guess its a marathon not a sprint sort of thing. I hope your day is going by faster than mine.

Rambling About A Movement, Advancing A Cause

Any cause or movement is bigger than the person who inspired it. The ideas and spirit of a movement should be carried forward by the people who were encouraged to dream and think about a brighter future. No one person can do it alone. Change requires everyone working together. Granted there will be disagreements along the way but that is what happens when humans work together. Anything worth doing requires a lot of work. In certain situations it might require another person taking the movement and advancing its ideas to the masses. Transition is never easy but you have to faith and hold people accountable to making things happen. It can take years and generations for a cause or a movement to be realized in full. If you want something done, it requires your participation and your dedication. There are sometimes bigger things at stake than the movement too.

I am a Democrat and I have been waiting for this for awhile. Without the Hillary v. Bernie thing it’s important to know how much is at stake in this election. It’s always good to be informed. Most importantly you have to vote to have your voice.
