'Sup, it's ya boy Hidey-Hoh again. Since writing that last piece, my chest has been free for other stuff to get on it. So I'm writing a follow-up.

How To Fight [and Write] For Net Neutrality

UPDATE: HERE'S A GUIDE FOR HOW TO USE gofccyourself.com to leave comments like John Oliver asked us to. I didn't know what to do, googled, and found this link: https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/08/how-to-protest-the-fccs-plan-to-dismantle-net-neutrality/

Also: https://faxzero.com allows you to send faxes, and according to the FCC's contact page, their Toll-Free Fax Number is 1-866-418-0232

Hey all, net neutrality is the most important thing right now. It's the top of my December edition's HOH Magazine Favorite Things, which I'll write sometime around next June. But this post isn't for procrastination talk. It's for ACTION! Your action! Read on:

What's The Deal??

(Originally drafted 11-1-2012...give or take)

So when my sister and I got to Spirit Halloween, the door was locked. "This surely is an error," thought I and the other people there, as a person trying to leave was locked in.

So the employee unlocks it, but tells us they're closed.

Except, I wanted to give you my money. This was not the Season Ending Scare I was expecting.

I was upset, but balanced it with a maintaining of dignity: I started walking back to the car, but floppily.

So floppily I let myself fall onto my knees in front of the store.

Now, I don't usually cause scenes, but I also don't like to embarrass myself, which I think I thought I'd do if I had simply gotten up from that childish display.

Not wanting to think I'd embarrassed myself, I went full-throttle with the bit:

Raising my arms and tilting my head to the heavens, I softly-but-projectfully yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Got a woman also leaving to laugh, and thank me, so mission accomplished; no embarrassment. Success. In fact, more success in pleasing this stranger than a seasonal chain store did, that day.

Because of course I "cause scenes." I'm a filmmaker.

Boo-yah.
