The bond between Shannon and Jared moves me deeply. In my opinion it was most apparent at the one show Shannon had to miss. It was fascinating to watch first-hand the way Jared made sure his brother was there with him, with us, even though he was a thousand miles away. Jared wasn’t just carrying that laptop around for fun. He needed Shannon with him. By the end of the night, when Jared puts his face right up to the screen and sings “these lessons that - we’ve learned here” to Shannon like that… It still gives me goosebumps. And melts my heart. Maybe it’s just me, but when I see Jared look to Shannon, even through a laptop, I see a kid who depends on his big brother for… everything. The Springs show really brought home for me the extent to which Shannon is Jared’s rock. It has colored my perception of those two ever since.
Ever since then, I started noticing those little moments when they exchange a glance, especially during a performance. Like during MTV Unplugged. The look in Jared’s eyes, when he turns to Shannon as the song gets going, to make sure they are together. In sync. I see just the slightest hint of uncertainty in Jared’s eyes until he makes eye contact with Shannon. He gets the beat from Shannon, then everything’s okay and the song takes over.
It blows me away, how different they are, yet how close they are. And what they have created between the two of them. And I’m not just talking about the music.
…you surprised him with a blow-job appetizer that he couldn’t refuse, even though he had other plans for you. He enjoyed it, but is a little annoyed you took over his show. Now, while mirroring you wiping your mouth, he’s plotting and regrouping…
Excuse me but… FUCK. Fuck me dead. Fuck my everything. Just fuck.

KONY 2012 IS A FILM AND CAMPAIGN BY INVISIBLE CHILDREN THAT AIMS TO MAKE JOSEPH KONY FAMOUS, NOT TO CELEBRATE HIM, BUT TO RAISE SUPPORT FOR HIS ARREST AND SET A PRECEDENT FOR INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE.
Who is Joseph Kony?
Joseph Kony is the world’s worst war criminal. In 1987 he took over leadership of an existing rebel group and renamed it the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
The LRA has earned a reputation for its cruel and brutal tactics. When Joseph Kony found himself running out of fighters, he started abducting children to be soldiers in his army or “wives” for his officers. The LRA is encouraged to rape, mutilate, and kill civilians–often with blunt weapons.
The LRA is no longer active in northern Uganda (where it originated) but it continues its campaign of violence in Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan. In its 26-year history, the LRA has abducted more than 30,000 children and displaced at least 2.1 million people.
What is the goal of KONY 2012?
Invisible Children has been working for 9 years to end Africa’s longest-running armed conflict. U.S. military advisers are currently deployed in Central Africa on a “time-limited” mission to stop Kony and disarm the LRA. If Kony isn’t captured this year, the window will be gone.
We are taking action to ensure these two things:
1) That Joseph Kony is known as the World’s Worst War Criminal.
2) That the U.S. military advisers support the Ugandan Army until Kony has been captured and the LRA has been completely disarmed. They need to follow through all the way and finish what they have started.
Why are we making Joseph Kony “famous”?
Invisible Children’s KONY 2012 campaign aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice. In this case, notoriety translates to public support. If people know about the crimes that Kony has been committing for 26 years, they will unite to stop him.
Secondly, we want Kony to be famous so that when he is stopped, he will be a visible, concrete example of international justice. Then other war criminals will know that their mass atrocities will not go unnoticed or unpunished.”
