The Atlas Project

So after many years of thinking about the idea of creating a large-scale project about changing environmental development in the world, I finally did it!

http://nerdfighters.ning.com/forum/topics/the-atlas-project



The Atlas Project is all about decreasing world suck on a massive scale, by doing things that no one else seems to want to do.



We are currently in a development phase where we try to…

the iPromises

As I mentioned in an earlier post, as part of My Suck Decreasing Year I am taking on what I'm calling the iPromises. These are things that I promise to do or achieve over the course of the next 365 days and hope that you will either join in our support. As they say; the more the merrier :) Every little helps after all.

These iPromises range from personal endevours to charitable acts to Just Doing It. But all in all they should help to Decrease World Suck and combat Suck Induicing…

Observation and Protest

I look around, and I can't help but think that all these people with crappy jobs should be out there, protesting as well. But they are not. Why? Because they are all too afraid to lose those crappy jobs? They suffer from the same corporate greed, governmental corruption, ridiculously high educational loans, hiked-up debt rates, and the wretched state of economy that people are rallying…

The World Outside The Window

I sit in class mind glazed over, not really paying attention, and my eyes unfocused in the general direction of the window. The drone of class is going on unattended to all around me and the chill of the air conditioner fills the room along with the sound of coughing and shifting desks. A click of a pen near my ear snaps me out of the fog. Everyone begins gathering materials and exiting the building, I follow, my curiosity aroused. Today we are writing outside! It is an unusual deviance from… Continue

A Sever Year-old's Mission Decreasing World Suck

A few years ago I met an amazing young boy. Friends of my brother's had adopted a child from Cambodia and namedhim Sam. He was born with two arms that end at the elbow and one of his legs is also under developed. Last year Sam, who was only 6 at the time, did a two kilometer ride on his modified bicycle to raise money for an orphanage in Cambodia. The response was astounding and Sam raised over $25,000. This year he is doing a second ride, doubling the distance in hopes that he will be able to… Continue

Another More Subversive Type of World Suck, and How to Help

World suck is the bane of our very existence, as you all know.  We have all been put here, for some unseen reason (as far as I can tell), but while we are on this planet we might as well try to help make it a better place. This blog post is about helping to eliminate world suck on a small scale, within your everyday life. Earlier in my term as Ningmaster I wrote a post about the power of charities. I hope to…

Sudden "End World Suck" Streak...

First Blog of The New Year (January of 2011)!

 

Nerdfighteria, I have made a proposal for myself on the night of December 31st, 2010. I am now in transition to a full blown "End World Suck Streak". Sounds frightening...the journey will be long, tiresome, and yet, rewarding. Below is a listing of the things I will expect of myself in regard to 2011. If I fail any of them...I will have to endure a lifetime of guilt in the trenches of my…

Thursday shall be the day... for grammar.

I have decided to have Thursdays as my day for forums. I'm not saying everything Thursday I will post, but when I do it will be on Thursdays.

I don't have much to say today, but I would like to talk about grammar and spelling on the forums for a bit. This is the Internet and no one is forced to write grammatically correctly, (not that I know of anyway), but there is a reason we have grammar and rules to writing, and John has a…

Charter for Compassion

I'll try and keep this short and simple and let the rest of you figure out what this means to you, but these people are Definitely helping to decrease world suck. They are called Charter for Compassion, Their goal? to get more people to restore morality, regardless of race or religion or anything else that some people seem to think set us apart from one another. They support reduction of violence and to lessen the struggle for our fellow men, women, and children. They currently over 58,000…

Sara's World Suck

Heylo to people reading. I have another paper to write so this is going to be quick.

We all know nerdfighters are made-of-awesome because we do awesome things for people like plant trees on Hank's birthday, or make videos and bracelets and blogs in memory of our good friend Esther Earles may she rest in peace. In other words, we help decrease suck levels in people's lives.

Now, a fellow nerdfighter by the name of Sara Aguilar is in the hospital fighting for her life, and she…

Another boring blog -_- (read if your from South Yorkshire)

Hey there!

so yeah, i know i said i would only update my blog when something interesting happens...but i lied...sorry! I'm just so bored, and i always turn to nerdfighters when bored (or otherwise) so it seemed like a good idea.

I spent most of my day today discussing with one of the few nerdfighters that live in my area of how we could spread nerdfighteria around South Yorkshire, he agreed there are no where near enough of us around so if you are in the South Yorkshire area and… Continue

Zombies, weekend away and bread making.

Hi Blog readers... and I know for a fact there is a few of you now *waves*




I've been back for a day now and though I only took a backpack with some clothes in it, I'm still yet to unpack from my short weekend away down to see my Brother, Chris and therefore my Sister in law Rachel (who has been reading these so I have to be nice to her right :P).


It only took us three hours to get down to the little village in which they live,…
