CHECK IT BETCHES
Kay, so this really has nothing to do with music, (or the fact I never really blog) but there is a site I want you all to know about.
Freerice.com is an uber groovy not so little anymore sit that donates rice through the power of vocabulary. Here's the deal, every time you get a vocab word right, you donate twenty grains of rice to hungry peoples. Also, the more rice you donate/vocab. words you get correct, the harder the words get.
It is a great way to learn some new words and help others out. Plus, it's rice, so no animal killing or sweatshops involved. (at least I hope not) The site has tons of settings to play around with, and you can see right where your vocab-rice is going. I think it's really cool, so even if you don't play send it to a few people. In my experience moms love it.
Anyway, it can't hurt any, just help.You may not think it adds up to anything but check out the donations since it's opening last October.
