Change The World - Playing For Change

I was watching one of the videos from the http://www.playingforchange.com charity organisation.

And I got moved by it, and smiled and felt happy and exhilarated and it reminded me of my decision and dedication to "Change" and I was inspired and calm and uplifted and...

Here's a crazy idea...

Why not compile a video of people around the world singing and dancing, and being happy and joyful?

For no profit, no personal gain, no selfish reasons, other than to participate in a small (tiny even) international voluntary effort to show our dedication to Change...

Anyone can participate.
Any age.
Any face.
Any body.
Any voice.
Any way.
Any time.
Any where.

as long as you:

1. Have a video/cell-phone/web/stills recording camera (or can beg for, steal, and/or borrow one) and can use it to record yourself and/or your friends.

2. Can smile (don’t be afraid, you can’t be ugly, when you’re smiling)

3. Can sing (or not. It doesn't really matter, as long as you are happy doing it).

4. Are not afraid to show your face to the world (yes, the video will freely travel the world via the internet).

5. Would love to do something silly and idealistically simple, to try and show the world your dedication to Love, Peace, Happiness, and CHANGE.

What matters is the will to get up off your arse and do something. The will to happily give away some part of yourself and project it out to the world. Whether it's your lovely voice, dancing body, expressive face, as long as you do it with a smile that could conquer the world, in an exotic (or mundane) location, whether it be up in the mountains, hidden somewhere in your city/village, underwater, up in the air, at your home, in front of a local sight or at your own little secret kissing spot, anywhere around the world, day or night....

Anything will do, as long as it's special and it means something for you.

I will collect all these clips and compile them together in a video of our song where EVERYONE who participates will be in it, if only for a fraction of a second...

And then... the world is our oyster...

What do you say?

Are you GAME? :-)
