Child abuse is still alive and well

Unfortunately!

However, a new social media campaign known as Childhood Cartoon Faces hopes to raise awareness of violence against children by encouraging Facebook users to ditch traditional pictures in favor of the cartoon images.

Did you change your profile picture? I did! I'll post a pic of the picture I changed mine to. The objective of this is to not see a single human face on facebook but an invasion of memories for the fight against child abuse! It ends on December 6th.

This is a really cool and creative social campaign. Its been pretty fun watching my some (not all) of my friends pictures change to their favorite childhood cartoons.

Here's a list of the characters so far...

He-Man

She-Ra

Dennis the Menace

Care bear characters

Tom & Jerry

Tin Tin

Inspector Gadget

Daffy Duck

Betty Boop

Happy Turkey Day!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my first post (finally) and thanks for checking out my new blog detailing my adventures in my new home, Los Angeles.

Ah, where to start? The past few months have been a crazy whirlwind from the moment i landed in Los Angeles (in May) and now its November. Seriously, where does the time go? I must say that I am really excited to be writing this post on Thanksgiving. Only because after months of being here I finally feel settled. So much has happened since I got here.

Lets see...

• Arrived in LA
• Got job at small tech company in LA
• Made some friends while in LA - one who has become a really good friend
• Got involved in extracurricular activities - most importantly board member of the alumni club of my alma mater
• Three months later I decided the job in tech company wasnt for me - oh oh

dun dun dun...what happened next?

I moved to Orange County!! Best decision i've made in a long time. Love my new job, my new place, my new everything. Now I really feel like I'm starting over which was the whole point of my move.

Let the adventures begin!

Oh and I cooked a turkey today. I feel very accomplished. Here are the before and after pics. Let me know what you think.
