I decided to put a photo story video together from my observances at Occupy Seattle from 10/15&16 2011. Although the initial intent was to simply document my time, I really found the struggles of so many touching me in ways that I would have never imagined before witnessing them.

The Common Ground Front
In August 2011, I started blogging. It started as a way for me to be able to openly share my views about things without having to be scolded by my Facebook Friends because I disagree with their social political views, and honestly posting my gripes in 140 characters or less on Twitter just wasn't cuttting it. In addition I found it was a great medium to share my expereinces with family, personal struggles and my hobbies.
What I found however after blogging for a couple months was that my blog posts really were two fold. I had personal things to share and I had views on current events that had nothing to do with my personal life. After spending time at the Occupy Seattle movement in Seattle October 15th and 16th, 2011, and continuing to follow this movement, I find I have so much bottled inside me in relation to what is wrong with this world, and honestly I feel the need to speak out more.
So I have decided to separate personal life from personal views, and move some blog entries here and keep my meaningless thoughts blog for the fun stuff in my life. I really don't know where this blog will lead, but I think it will really get me writing again.
