Fall Out Boy - I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way Always Trying

Today I was just sitting at home bored out my mind, and decided to listen to music on yahoo! I clicked on a video by Fall Out Boy. I was actually a little reluctant to watch it at first. The song was ok, but the video has like almost nothing to do with the song. Part of the story line with the young Ugandan children who got torn apart was cute, but the rest of the video was SO serious. I was like, "What is this?" Intrigued, I watched the rest of it, and was just beyond belief! I mean, the video was so impactful, with the story line displaying love juxedaposed with war and violence, and then finally at the end it said visit http://www.invisiblechildren.com , and I said, "Ok, why not? I'll check it out." I thought it was just another one of them save the children in Africa causes, and it was, but this one really touched my heart. We all know about the stereotypical violence, war and bloodshed along the ivory coast in Africa (which many refer to Africa like it's all one big AIDS fest of dying people...I'm not trying to be mean; I'm just being real because we always only see one side of "Africa" the stereotypical version, but believe it or not, people: It's actually made up of MANY different countries with MANY different tribes and cultures of people. Just thought I'd throw that out there before you stereotype this message, too, including the one i'm about to tell you about the "invisible children" in Uganda, a country in the continent of Africa. I love the name of this campaign because it's so true. These Ugandan children are invisible in our busy and hectic lives. They are accross the Atlantic. "Not our problem," we say. And true, in America we do have a plethera of problems to deal with in regards to our own youth, but these invisible children in Uganda never even had the opportunities and chances that kids in America have.

Now here is your chance to help: Buy a bracelet. It's only $20 for you, but that twenty dollars means a future for a child who had not choice to begin with. They didn't ask to be born into a sate of turmoil all around them. Please support their mission. That's all I have to say.

I just couldn't sit on this incredible cause after seeing just a snippet of the things on their site. It's an opportunity to make a difference. I don't want to forget about the invisible children because they are there. Except now they are no longer invisible, thanks to the guys who started this campaign, but are you choosing to ignore them now that they are seen?
