Hey Guys
As some of you know I've kept up with what has been going on through Skype and other forms of communication. I remade this account to warn you about something, and the project page is, I feel, the proper place for this because it's not a Project Idea, but it will never be completed either. Please bear with the length.
I've enjoyed the internet since my sophomore year in high school (way back in 1994). I found a great deal of information, viewed a lot of porn, pirated more things than I could ever hope to remember, and met a lot of people. I've been fortunate enough to find a group of people here and there that don't waste this resource, but use it. And this is where you come in.
I beg you, I plead with you, I would gravel at your feet if it would just get you to DO something. I've been part of communities that would seek to do something and nothing happen. I've been guilty of being one of those indivduals. However, I look around at the world I live in and it has made me cynical. There is so much wrong with the world that you are inheriting that to fix it requires a force that is not overwhelmed with where to begin and a mind set that anything is possible.... and so it falls to you.
I warn you, I challenge you, and I implore you to pay attention. Learn about your world and how it runs. Seek to do more than just share links and laugh. The moon has the opportunity to become a leading force in that. Change life, change lives, and be the change you want to happen. Be ready to be called on and be ready to help. Be creative and shoot for what is impossible. It is important to share links and laugh, don't get me wrong, but when that becomes your focus, when you stop looking to change things yourself and rely on someone else, a very very bad thing happens.... you become me.

Due to my laziness and short attention span, I have decided not to read your lengthy post. Stop doing nothing and do something.
