HIPSTER RUNOFF

A lot of people tell me 'Carles. u need 2 do more with ur platform. Use it 4 good. Don't just be a troll/cyberbully.' I am thinking about launching a nonprofit community organization for kids all over the world. Tell me if this is a good idea.

Did u know that 60% of tween girls are 'depressed without even knowing it'?
Did u know that bicycles are often more productive than standard anti-depressants?
Did u know that riding a bicycle will lower your cholesterol by 60%?

BIKES4TWEENS will solve 50-80% of tween issues.

BIKES 4 TWEENS

How u can contribute

• send a bicycle to carleser [at] gmail.com
• the bike is cleaned and prepared for the gifting process
• an 'at-risk' tween is given a bicycle
• the tween has 30 days to prove that the bicycle makes his life more meaningful.

Do u have a communications degree? Bikes4Tweens needs a Public Relations team. We need a team to go out to local area high schools to recruit tweens and promote Tween Health Issue awareness. We need a team that is willing to make 1-to-1 connections with parents, and give them strategies for dealing with tweens in the modern world.

Every tween has the right to happiness.

Can yall think of any community programs/acronyms that will make our world a better place?
Should we donate other stuff, like canned goods/HoneyBakedHams for poor ppl?
Should we recruit a major celebrity like Zachary Efron to promote Tween Awareness?
Should HRO focus more on tween issues, or just post-bloghaus?
Do yall know any entrepreneurs who would be interested in investing in a TWEEN CENTRE full of cool stuff to do after school?
Can we really trust tweens with the world's future, or are they 'too consumery'?

Sometimes I wonder what I will do when I 'start to get older' and 'lose my edge'/sense of community/sense of youth/sense of free-spiritedness. What will I do when I realize that my life is 'probz not gonna be meaningful' and I am still 'not where I would like it to be' when I am making $44K/year at age 32? I will have a sense of comfort, but still be 'longing for something more.' What can I do to lighten the tone of my life?

I will participate in activities that will make the 'oddly enough' section of the newspaper/the 'oddly enough' news in the final minute of the local news/ go 'viral' on blogs that are looking 2 'make u smile' and 'make u feel connected to cities where real stuff is happening.'

(Note: does n e 1 know if the background music is the Animal Collective/MSTRKRFT leak?)
I want to participate in zany community activities that 'gain steam/notoriety' [via the internet]. I want to brand myself to my parents by appearing in videos like this / taking pictures and posting them to my public flickr account, sending a link 2 my parents so that they can show their network of friends about my meaningful life 'in the city.' I want to participate in at least 1 flash mob / group performance art activity per month. I want to re-create my college experience--I miss the sense of community when we executed our 'senior prank' in high school.

"So there we were. In our underwear. United as one. Like the time we voted for Obama. They were looking at us like we were crazy. But if they only knew... if they only knew."
-The Diary of a No Underwear bro

We moved to the city
and became
part of a movement
that made old people
smile
when they saw footage of us
at night
and young people
want to grow old
to be us
We are now
Because we have disposable income
and time to spend on the internet
allowing us to take place
in events that we perceive to be
more than just an internet-meme-generation process
Improvisation may or may not be everywhere
Because life is improv
and life is meant 2 be
interpreted [via progressive media]

I really need to start thinking about 'existing outside of the internet.' What should I do? Should I put up flyers around the city that make people smile?
I need 2 spend the rest of 2k9 organizing ppl into a physical army. We need 2 start 'making the world think/laugh' by undertaking progressively zany missions.
We need to fight as hard as we can to be more // than // just // a // meme.

If u were going to create a zany group event that 'made peoplez headz turn', what would u do and in what setting would u do it?
