I have lied, cheated, and sacrificed my morals on a daily basis.
I have held my own beliefs in prison for the the entirety of my life.

I knew keeping silent was the only way i could to make it to this point.
But now...

No longer will I hold my thoughts in.
The very system that has elected me, is the same system that has forced me to lie.
And this system that i have dedicated my life, is the same system that has imprisoned millions. Including myself.

Because i have jumped through these hoops, I KNOW that the system that we fight for is the same system that depends on keeping its own public submissive.

THESE THINGS I WAS ELECTED ON underneath the what was presented, ARE NOT THE PEOPLE AGENDAS. They are the agendas of the people that funded and created me. The people that continue to keep us submissive.

 I am a puppet and refuse to be inanimate any longer.

I have waited my whole life to say these words and after they are complete, the very same system that brought me here will force me to leave.

This country is corrupt and the people that run it are lying to us."

3.  Before you buy any product, do as much research as you can stand to do.  Make sure to document every decision you make and why you made it.  After a while you will be able to publish your findings and people will begin to pay you to do the research you know how to do.

PEN PEN PEN

1.  Take a place like Jimmy Johns, except all the seating and tables are set up to view the workers work. The sandwich makers are also improvers. They make up dramas and do funny shows while working.

Yo bro...its me Oliver!

1. Bakeries are a great place to dumpster dive. The food is generally just baked goods so it's not gross or a health concern like meat would be.

2. Half Price Books gets more books than they can handle, and though they say they donate the books, they really just throw them in the dumpster out back. Though they usually aren't the best quality, they can be read, donated, or at the least used for firewood
I'm on a roll

3. If you live in a city and have extra cold weather gear that you no longer need, keep this stuff in your backpack or car. When you see a homeless person give them your old stuff. It's better than dropping it off at a shelter because you can be sure that it got to someone in need. The same works for non perishable food. 
This really beats doing homework.

4. Write positive or inspirational little notes and hide them around. I like to put them under keyboards in computer labs or tuck them like bookmarks into library books. Random interesting facts or jokes work well too. Fake gossip or rumors can be fun too, someone may believe they got some inside information

5. Start doing graffiti.

Something like love.

1.  Get a crow, train it and bring it with you when you travel. When you go in to stores and houses, it can just fly up in to the trees and wait for you.

 2.  Write an inspirational note on every dollar bill you have and then spend it. You might just make someone's day. Alternatively, write a question on a bill and it will become a traveling poll. It is also a generally easy way to spread any message to a wide audience.

 3.  When you hang out with a girl/boy you don't like that likes you, rub your self with rotten fish before hand. Then puke in your pants. Then poop on that puke in your pants that you just puked in. Then while you are hanging out with them, drop too many hints about how happy you are with your new deodorant.

4.  On halloween designate a street (somewhere with woods with no houses, maybe down by the river) get a group of about 20 people to go to that street and set up a few different scary things along the road, dress as zombies, eat a dead persons guts on side of road, smoke machines and stuff. Tell other people to drive down the street, do it every year and it will catch on.

 5.  Cut off the tips of a bunch of strike anywhere matches. Then cut a slit in a tennis ball. Fill the ball with the tips of the matches. Make sure the slit won't let them out if your not holding it open. When you throw the ball in the air the ball will blow up when it hits the ground. So throw it at something.

Cookie Therapy

1.  If you are not currently attending school, give yourself one homework assignment per day and then collect them all at the end of the week.  They could be of any size or difficulty.

2. Research aromatherapy and figure out which smells could add to your daily well being.  Find these herbs and add them to your pillow cases.

3. Whenever you see someone giving away free vinyl stickers for their business or promotions, take as many as you can.  Cover all the sticker with a thin coat of flat white spray paint, the cheaper the better.  Then, if you run a business, make a stencil of you logo.  Cover the flat white with your base color, and then stencil on top of those stickers using spray paint or screen printing.

4.  Every time some lifestyle choice come up in conversation (like being a vegetarian, hunting, urban gardening) and you claim it would be difficult or a bad choice, try it for a week.  Every time.

5.  When ever you think of a friend, begin to cook some type of food for them like a batch of cookie.  Then get the food to them as fast as possible and say "I made this because I was thinking of you."

3.  Try carrying a thesaurus around with you at all times and when you are about to say a word you have already said that day, look up and say a synonym.

4.  Even if (or maybe especially if) you have few performative skills, take one week and go to every open mic night in the city you live in.  If it goes well at all, keep doing this for six months and then stop.

5.  If you have ever kept a journal for any period of time scan the whole thing and publish it.

2.  Put a stage and sound gear on a barge, and move from city to city (on rivers and other water ways) having concerts just out of town.

3.  Lets say it is for a hip new soap brand. Each commercial features some charismatic person of the targeted age group doing this completely unrelated to the soap, but with the soap bottle in their hand. They go on a roller coaster as if the soap is their best friend. Swimming or relaxing on a floaty with their best friend the soap.
















4. Make a donation web page, explain that you make your living off of this website. Advertise the website.

5. Watch all the TV series shows people talk about, all back to back in one week. Then don’t watch TV for the rest of the year. Pop culture homework.

Dogs

1.  When you can't figure out exactly what you should be doing create a non-crucial task you can always do, like cleaning the dishes.  Eventually you may never loose momentum because you automatically have something to do.

3.  Start advertising your services as a handy person.  When someone calls you for an estimate, take a lot of notes, and then go research the best way to fix it.  Then figure into your estimate not the cost of labor but how much it would be to by the best tools for the job.  Front the money for the tools, fix their problem and then get reimbursed upon completion.  After a year or so you should have a collection of sick-ass tools and know-how to do anything.  Then you can quit if you want.
