So, around the holiday season the saying usually goes "it is better to give than receive," and the way some people do that is by giving to charity. Now before you stop reading this just please hear me out, this is a
really good thing I'm trying to promote here.
Last year the vlogbrothers on youtube created a project to take over youtube for one day by getting people to make videos promoting their favorite charities, it was called "Project for Awesome," and it was a success. This year they are doing it again Dec 17 & 18. The goal is to get as many "project for awesome" videos on the main page as possible, and
the way we do that is by going around and watching project for awesome videos, then rate, comment, and favorite them so that we can trick youtube into getting them in the most discussed, most viewed, most favorite lists. When you think about it we are kinda like ninjas. Awesome ninjas.
I know this year times are hard financially, I personally have no money to give, but instead I'm donating my time by spending the next two days going around youtube and watching these videos in attempts to get them on the front page, and on these lists, so that people who
DO have the money to spend might be inspired to donate.
Here is the vlogbrothers video for this year:

Please if you have some time to kill, if you are bored at work, or whatever, please go and check out some of these videos and at least rate and comment on them. It's for a really good cause. Sometimes it's hard to believe we can make a difference, its only two days out of the year after all, but maybe come Dec. 19th the world is just a little bit better because of it.
