Good morning all. I wanted to pause in my day and take a quick moment to clarify something from my show on Sat. As I did have a very long show, 3.5 hours, which is about 2 hours longer than i wanted to do, but i did it anyways.. I mentioned something about Jason, and what he's doing.
Firstly, Jason is someone i would consider, "inspiring". See, movie makers can do anything they want. They can go out, record bums running head first into buildings, they can film jackass stunts, they can produce the next 20 grind house horror flicks, or, they can actually do something beneficial to our country, and inspire the kids. See, thats what i really like about his project. If you go to his website - http://www.theyoungestcandidate.com and watch the tailer.. you'll see what i mean. This movie chronicles the journey of 4 teen candidates who are working to change their community. It's an awesome documentary, and i'm waiting to see it..
I've been on this 'open your eyes..' and 'change the system' kick for a while, and to see kids step up and take control of their community is a positive step in changing how the current political system is being ran. I just hope they're mature enough to say no to corruption, we all know it's out there.
I really do hope that America starts to figure out that the future of our great country belongs to the children, and we should let them have more of a say in it, since they are the ones stuck with it. Statistically speaking, i've hit the half-way point in my life expectency.. so technically, i'm over the hump.. So what is there left to do but support these kids, and be there to mentor them.
So, Gratz to Jason.. you can follow him on twitter on the right hand side of my column. He just got his film picked up to be shown @ some swanky hollywood movie theater...and he's very excited about it.. You gotta watch his announcement here: http://cli.gs/meP0nn Things are really flying high for the guy right now, he's been on Air America, the guy who did the Obama poster did his movie poster, and he's really picking up steam. Really, i encourage you to go out there and see this movie and support it.. more so, I know this is more of an adult blog.. show the movie and stuff to your kids, and to your neices and nephews. Let them know that if they are unhappy with the way their world is going, to get involved with it.
