Conspiracy of Silence

A disturbing film about an organized ring of pedofiles among US politicians.

But this film, especially since there was such a vast coverup effort, is very disturbing.

Dice Game

(December 2007)

Before you keep reading, do yourself a favor and make an agreement with yourself that you will play the game, no matter what happens. If you don't - sure - nobody will know, but you will ruin the experience for yourself. Commit!

The rules are simple: Roll one die. Whatever side is showing corresponds to an action that you will commit to actualy go out and do.

Most actions are small, silly things, but hopefully it will make people think, or if nothing else - wonder...

Here are this month's actions:

1. Put a small amount of money in an envelope (no note/letter). Go into any small shop, give the envelope to the person at the cashier, give that person the envelope with the message "Michael told me to give this to you". Walk away.
2. Find a picture online from a random person's vacation photos. Print out the picture, circle one of the people in the picture and write underneath: "Have you seen this person? Tell him/her to contact Michael". Put it up at a local bulletin board/wall.
3. The next time you buy a cup of coffee/water etc, buy two. Give the second cup/bottle to the person behind you in line. Walk away.
4. Find a random person's address, write a letter explaining that you miss him/her as a friend. Mail it to that person without a return address.
5. Find a small piece of wood and write on it with a marker: "R.I.P. "Buddy" - Beloved pet" and stick it in the ground at a park or public area.
6. Spend all day tomorrow using a made up name when you interact with strangers.

Please leave comments of how things went for you. Send me pictures/videos/stories and if this catches on, maybe I will dedicate a website to this. Just remember, have fun..
