Stop SOPA!

Update: Jan. 17th 2012

News on SOPA: Wikipedia & Reddit on board to join the protest against online censorship! The video source is from one of my favorite news web sites democracynow.org

I found this video which talks about all of the major companies (C|NET owned by CBS, AOL, & DISNEY) who have sued people for piracy on the internet along with pouring tons of money into pushing SOPA yet at the same time where delivering software such as “limewire” on their sites. Please take a moment to watch this short video.

 

I got some what distracted from doing some online research for a project I am working on. What is funny is the project is for an awareness campaign! Best believe I will include SOPA as one of the focuses for this awareness campaign.

Now I have to focus on POVERTY, FOOD & ENERGY. Please write a comment or share a story on this topic.

Bronx Recognize It’s Own (BRIO) Grant

Updated: 01/25/12

The BRIO Grant

I will be submitting artwork to compete for the BRIO Grant! I will be entering in the visual arts category by submitting poster art. I also have to come up with an artist statement discussing the project and myself as an artist. I am looking forward to winning this grant which is for Bronx artist/residents. This grant is for $3,000. Please show some support!

Overview of the project

I have decided to submit poster art with the theme of raising awareness and solving major world issues. It started with an idea I had for an awareness campaign to end poverty. Poverty is an inexcusable example of the current paradigm which we currently follow. This paradigm which promotes inequality, unfairness, unbalanced, and injustice. Poverty should be considered to be the #1 human rights issue today.

Alarming rising poverty rates in the U.S.

Live life passionately.

My New Year’s Resolution

One of my New Years resolutions this year was to live life more passionately. It was actually my resolution last year as well. I started to think about passion and what it meant to be passionate a few years back. I believe I started to think about it because I felt as if my life at that moment had no passion. I felt numb. Everyday seemed so mundane. This made me feel very empty inside. I guess I was going through some spiritual crisis or something. This empty feeling wasn’t always present in my life. It seemed to be growing day by day. During this time I over came a lot of challenges. I had accomplished many of my personal goals which gave me validation. It felt extremely good to set a goal then go out and make it happen. These things were important to me but it seemed as if there was no passion behind them.

My Facebook Page.

Introduction to my Facebook page

I recently was told that I should have a separate account on Facebook for my business. This was told to me by my business councilor at SCORE. To be quite honest I was completely against it. It took me forever to get a personal account on Facebook and now I am told I should get another? What’s funny is that I like Facebook but when it comes to personal things. I love sharing things online with friends and family. As far as using it as a networking tool I felt unsure.
