Rarely can a movement bring together people with various beliefs. For example, Ron Paul Libertarians and old school socialists are gathered at sit-ins and protests around the country. So are the younger generation and the older. And so are the white majority and the minorities. Occupy Wall Street has spread across the country and does not show any signs of slowing down.
These people want justice. They want the 1% to stop being greedy and for corporate America and American government to be two separate bodies. The agenda of Occupy [Wall Street, Austin, Grand Rapids, Sesame Street, etc.] is largely unshaped, but so is the movement. It's evolving with every passing day.
It's messy. But then again, revolutions always are.
Police forces have started their retaliations, largely in too violent of a fashion to be permitted, proving that this movement means something. A movement like this hasn't had as much youthful energy poured into it since the '60's some say. I don't think there has ever been a more relevant topic since then, though.
Look alive, people, things are happening. You can't ignore this news. Even the local news stations are putting little sound bits in about it. You know it's important. So whip out your guitars and tye-dye shirts. Peace, love and money!
To your good fortune,

Social Media evolves...
..but you know what never will? This blog. I know down yonder in Texas we don't believe in evolution, so Rick Perry probably will deleting his Facebook soon.
It all started a decade or so ago with Myspace. Then somewhere in between then and the invention of Facebook: hieroglyphics, arabic, written language and the Gutenburg Bible all had their run. Now Google+ is threatening the stability of Facebook's followers and the world is up in arms.
Meanwhile, Rick Perry's death list grows to 235 and he may add 300 million more to that list if he's elected President. But who cares about that? Let's get onto the important stuff.
Social media has taken over our lives, and it can be quite hilarious to see how obsessed we've all become with it. In the near future, women will not need epidurals during labor, because they will be distracted by Facebook. Crime will no longer be rampant in the streets because people will be [identity] mugged on Facebook.
"FACEBOOK WHAT ARE YOU DOING! OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS HAPPENING? MY LIFE IS FALLING APART!"
Okay, let's take a few steps back. It's the internet. In the broad spectrum of Facebook, nothing has changed. It's a place where people convey their feelings or random quotes or pictures.
Basically, it has turned into a site eat site world. Facebook is changing. Darwin put it best when he put forth his survival of the fittest theory. This is it, people. Can you keep up?
Meanwhile, poor Myspace sits like the forgotten Macaulay Culkin in an attic bedroom in Home Alone.

Very, Perry disappointed
The Romney v Perry debate wasn't nearly as one sided as I would have hoped(as far as hoping for a Republican candidate can go). Why was the one time Perry was so clean, so well-spoken, the GOP presidential debate?
If Perry becomes nominated, I may secede from the Union.
I have to admit, I was extremely excited to watch the debate. Not because I'm becoming a Romney fan(who is secretly a Democrat, by the way), but because I was really eager to see Perry show the nation what he's shown us for at least a decade now; he's a moron.
Instead, I saw what a lot of America saw - two broad-shouldered, tall, white men with light blue ties on. Yes, they even wore the same tie.
What with the Tea Party supporting him, and his new found country swagger, Perry is looking more and more likely to become a Republican nominee for the 2012 for the presidency.
I'm thinking back to those happier days when I was afraid of Sarah Palin becoming nominated. Good times(and far less scary).
Signed,
Kenny C.
P.S. Yes, I did this one without Paxton. His door's locked so he's either sleeping or he's not all the way present mentally right now.

The Beginning(Gyllenhaal Household Conversations)
Stardom will come.
For now, we will settle with fulfilling the requests of Raymond Blanchard.
This is the blog of Kenny and Paxton. Who knows what we'll talk about? We sure don't. We'll start with this:
This is a conversation/arguement we think the Gyllenhaal siblings (Jake and Maggie) have had in the past.
Jake: Oh man, I miss Heath.
Maggie: Yeah, me too.
J: What did you act in with him?
M: Only, The Dark Knight, the most famous Batman movie of all time. He was amazing in that movie. And I got to act alongside him. What did you do, again? Oh yeah, you were just some stupid boys playing cowboys together. Most boys do that when they're 5.
J: Don't think I'm jealous.
M: While you were busy playing around with him, we were filming movie genius.
J: Were you? What'd he do, hold a knife to your throat in one scene? Heath and I were so much closer!
M: NO YOU WEREN'T!!!
J: Maggie, I had sex with the guy!!!
The End
So, this is the beginning of a blogging era, hopefully.
Here's until next time,
Paxton & Kenny
P.S. We don't know how often this is going to happen.
