Tower of Dougie

Franco

It is said that mankind's hubris led to the creation of the Tower of Babel in an effort to reach the heavens. In an effort to divide and conquer the Gods came down from the clouds to confound their speech rendering them unable to communicate their love for one another. All is not lost however. Mankind's redemption is near through the teachings of what can only be described as miraculous. Using the universal language known as "The Dougie" multitudes across the globe are once again reconnecting. It started in a distant outpost known only to a few as Inglewood. All records of the first "Dougie" are lost to civilization but it has since spread like wild fire in the region as can be seen in the following historical document:



Messengers on horse back spread the word to the far off lands south of the Rio Grande. Study it carefully to reap the benefits of the subtle nuances brought upon by the cross-cultural synergy.


For years it was believed that the dance of the "Dougie" was a regional phenomenon doomed to languish in isolation on the shores of the New World. In what could only be described as providence, traces of the language have been spotted halfway around the world unifying Gods' children near the cradle of civilization.


It is evident that mankind's long journey home is nearing its final leg as more and more cultures assimilate to the teaching of the "Dougie." However, the true test is yet to be administered. Winter is coming and the last stretch to cross is the dreaded "Techno Dance" that has grown in popularity among the hedonistic pagans.


Does redemption lie in humanity's future? Will "Techno Dance" be its doom? Or something more sinister?  Only time will tell.

All right stop, collaborate, and listen!

Hi all!

We want to take a moment to share about a great non-profit organization: Omeid International. One of our cousins helped establish this organization in 2005. Since 2009 it has been running an orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan. This past Sunday we attended the organization's fundraiser and learned about what they are doing.


Omeid means "hope" in Farsi and the organization is trying to inspire a new Afghan generation. Omeid International currently houses, educates, and nourishes 17 boys that would otherwise be child-laborers or living on the streets. As many of us know, Afghanistan has a long history of conflict and instability. Omeid International hopes to transform these young men into the leaders of tomorrow.

We encourage you to check out the Omeid International web site for more information and consider donating to the organization. It costs $2,000 a month to run the orphanage and it is funded mostly by individuals such as yourself. A monthly contribution of $25 keeps one child fed, or alternatively you can make a one time donation. Anything is appreciated. The organization is run by volunteers so 100% of your donation goes to the children in need. 

At the fundraiser on Sunday one of the speakers said, "Afghanistan is no longer in the news." The United States plans to withdraw troops from the nation by 2014 and headlines about Afghanistan are becoming fewer. Along with the decline of US involvement comes a decline in awareness and activism. Please help ensure that the boys at Omeid International's orphanage are not forgotten by contributing to this cause. 

Thank you.
