Wikimedia Donation

While I was studying for it a few days ago, I literally had more than 10 Wikipedia pages opened for some explanation that would allow me to understand the subjects in more detail. I looked at the top of the page and I saw …

Wikimedia Donation Meter

Yup, the donation meter. I had everything cramped in my mind while I was studying, examination, dreams, love, sex fantasies and whatever that was making me “koo koo”. So I clicked on the meter, wondering where will it bring me. While the page was loading, I was fantasizing things like people serving me free wine in order to persuade me to donate. I told myself, “James, go back to studies, nobody is going to feed you wine if you fail your examination” and started hitting my head for awhile.

As I looked back to the notes I put on the table, there’s a sudden urge that formed a magnetic field between my eyes and the Wikimedia donation page. And there you guessed it, I was back at the Wikimedia donation page.

Then I looked at the top of the page, the quote:

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. – Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia.

I was dumbfounded, I realized that I spent all my time in Wikipedia without contributing a cent nor knowledge to the world. My Devil mind said “bullshit” but my Angel mind said ” look at the 10 Wikipedia tabs on your browser”.

Then I saw

Wikipedia is there when you need it – now it needs you.

I was succumbed by the quote and I pressed the “donate” button hoping that both of them(the Devil and the Angel) would shut up and allow me to concentrate on my studies. It directed me to my Paypal and I donated, just like how I used to donate blood. Here’s the proof of the transaction.

After the donation. The minds stopped fighting but I was still a bit disturbed by what I had done. I freaking donated! WTF? By the way, as far as the Wikimedia donation is concerned, it helped a bit. I did feel the ease and the concentration was coming back. However, I still was unable to concentrate 100%.

Oh and thank God the exam wasn’t as hard as expected. Maybe it is the donation.

If you also feel like donating as well. Please …
