Human Rights Day

So today is 'Bloggers Unite For Human Rights' day hosted by the wonder blog catalog. Anyways, us bloggers are supposed to spread awareness about the issues of the world.

Well, I'm not going to talk about the cyclone, or the Olympics, or any of those Human Rights issues that are going to be talked about by every single blogger that cares today.

If you care and want to help suffering people, google it or go read Rika's thought here.

If you don't, then google it anyways so that maybe you will change your mind and be reasonable.

Save the Blogs

You browse the internet, the echoes of many blogs tumbling past.....
"SAVE THE TREES!" ...... "save the world click here!"....... "OMG FREE OIL!! TAKE OUR SURVEY!!!"

You got it, the web has become a world for people to attempt to win over viewers because their site is 'necessary for absolute survival!'. Really, people, save your blog, not the world. It needs some desperate work to move away from the marketing empire that you've been trying to build up.

If you don't visit The Wells Mission or thenearbyfuture.com, you won't implode, you won't die of starvation, you will probably still have a car that works, but you probably wouldn't have laughed that day. You probably haven't learned what you could've by visiting, but it's not the end of the world.

Save the blogs, save the world from the useless advertising. We don't need more ads, people!

The Truth Behind The Nearby Future

So The Nearby Future isn't all black-and-white. We're not some kind of reality show. Just because I aspire for dictator of the world does NOT mean that:

1. I secretly plan Rika's demise every time she rejects one of my articles
2. I am so lowly and uncreative that I chose to blow up the world every time my take over plan fails
3. I am using this website for the purpose of recruiting people to back me up during world domination.

So that's the truth. I honestly own no tanks and have no nuclear missiles in my backyard, for all those people who accuse me of having unoriginal plans. No, instead I have state-of-the art satellite- I mean, I have none of the above.

A lot of the comments we receive on The Nearby Future are from people who live under a rock. One really cracked me up: "Is everyone on the staff?"

*Laughs hysterically* of COURSE not everyone is on the staff! We talk about 'the staff' as if it's a fan club. (Which it isn't, it's about as interesting as owning a pet rock) if EVERYONE was in the staff, then what would happen? We wouldn't call it "the staff" we'd call it "The people of the world"!

May the Force Be With You

So yesterday I felt like watching TV- which, is usually not one of my favorite things to do- and I saw this interview with George Lucas, and he talked about the phenomenon that made him famous (what else is there for him to talk about?).

It was interesting how his intentions with Star Wars was to give the world a view on religion different, comparing all of the religions. He said once that we were all seeing a "different part of the elephant" and that all religions were true.

There's more to writers than even their writing portrays!

Link to the Celebrities Post

Here's a link to Rika's post about celebrities: http://www.thenearbyfuture.com/celebrities-what-good-do-they-do/

Celebrities: Everyone Agree with me, They're Useless!

What good do celebrities do? Pfft, nothing. They strut around the red carpets and are bad influences. Sure there are some good looking people, but I could care less. For once I agree with Rika.

Who wants to watch a bunch of perfect Barbie Dolls run around and get drunk? That's not entertainment, that's craziness.
-Rika

Well Rika felt that this was a big enough issue to post, so she wrote an article on The Nearby Future on it. It comes out tomorrow I think, check it out when you get the chance.
