Call me Dreamer: July Flys By

All you anime watchers would realize this song in an instant if Clannad and Clannad After Story left you with some tears left to pour go check out Your Lie in April-it's on Netflix :)

I haven't finished watching it though, but anime aside I really appreciate Goose House. Their YouTube channel is heart-warming. It's so natural and Hikaru Nara (the song above) is one of their originals and the entire 4 minutes and 18 seconds is uplifting.

Guess I'll be sharing quite a few videos today :) I know I'm not the only stoked for the Summer Olympics. I'm especially looking forward to the swimming, but there's always a variety of events and sometimes I watch what's on right before and after, thereby discovering a love for watching an entirely new sport. The Summer Olympics are definitely a ray of light in international cooperation this year.

Especially when the Olympics do start-it'll keep you updated on the results, who got which medal, what event is happening when, etc...

The Olympics itself is a wonderful idea and event, but what goes into making the Olympics in our flat-screen TV's is a truth akin to worn-out, discarded cassette amidst the shiny medals.

A close friend of mine recently shared this video on Facebook and it really struck a chord with me-2016 Olympics: What Rio doesn't want the world to see

People constantly tell others not to "judge a book by it's cover", but why do humans,when fed something, automatically assimilate in our minds that one single truth is full and final? I'm not saying the Olympics should be canceled. However, I do wish I wasn't living in a world where life gets polished over into a final product without the dents, the mishaps, and bruises. The world is far from perfect, but if voices in media, governments, propaganda, international cooperation and corporations don't even acknowledge that a problem exists, how are we going to fix it?

People always say that anybody can make a difference-no matter what age, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and sexuality...but isn't it hard for common people in everyday lives (who maybe read the news once a day) to discover truths in small places that are shrouded with lies. Poverty isn't problem you can wish for to go away eventually like a drought. It isn't going to fix itself.

Common people and the important voices in our world-media, governments, etc...-need to work together to create a solution. I acknowledge the fact that many people aren't even aware what's going on around the world half the time or they couldn't care less about issues that don't affect them. You can call me idealistic or unrealistic. Is it so hard to believe countries cooperating and raising awareness of the problems before hiding them like an virus? Do the 7.4 billion people in our world, Earth,really have no answer? No solution?

Rest in Peace, Christina Grimmie. I used to watch videos of singing on YouTube when I was younger with Kurt, Sam, and other YouTube artists. Then, I saw you on the Voice. I loved your voice.
