key to understanding



"Animals are brilliant and are much smarter than humans. There are many distinctions between the animal species and yourselves. One of the greatest is that the animals know that they do not end when they die. They know that they go on. They don't buy funeral plots and they don't worry about where they are going to die and be buried. They trust that they will be taken care of. They have an innate wisdom and trust. They don't take out insurance policies and they don't watch TV. Many of these animals are in tune with the quality of life..."

therefore, they have no fear of death, enabling them to live completely free. (unfortunately, not counting all of our friends in factory farms or displaced from their homes when shopping malls arise). We must take a moment to learn from animals. Remember how to live without fear and anxiety; to just enjoy our existance while we still have the chance.


*pictured above are Sandy (kitten) and Jettie; two of the most intelligent (domesticated) animals that I have come in contact with.

Everyday, I also watch the patterns and habits of various squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, robins, and blue jays. Instead of watching TV while I eat, I watch the multiple worlds that are in constant motion right outside my window.

end of the world...


funny...but not really.




the information shown on this chart simply means this: do something in your life to stop global warming or we are all gonna die!!

what I am doing:

-riding my bike instead of driving my car to 1. work 2. farmers markets 3. art store 4. bascially, everything in my area within a 10 mile radius

-turning off all lights and electronics when it is not absolutely necessary to use them (yes, i know they run on electricity, but it takes oil to produce electricity)

-buying local fruit, vegetables and other foods (because they are not being shipped in from another state or country, less energy is used to transport them to the market)

-working as an active member on the town's environmental commission

-saving up my money to buy a diesel car so i can convert it to run on grease (zero emissions, same mileage as before, fuel is free and your car will last longer because grease is better for the engine)

these are simple things everyone can do. so step up and get started.

never forget...

...the power rests in our hands.














The reality that you know
Is just behind your idea
Of a society, security, and self.
Am I just fucked up?
'Cause I can't remember
The last time any of this made sense,
The last time
I Could stand up to myself.

Street faces all blend into one,
They ask for spare change.
Am I forgetting
What it looks like
From the other side?
Have I forgotten where I've come from?

Are we just working till a day
We decide we've had enough?
All along
We were strong enough
To be sick of it,
And put them back in their fucking place.
We never asked for this responsibility
We were never in this...
Together...

-Against Me!


Americans Against Arnold



http://www.arnoldexposed.com/

The son of an SS nazi officer, Schwarzenegger has publicly stated that he has dreamed of being a dictator and that he admires Hitler. He campaigned for war criminal Kurt Waldhiem after it had been made public that he was a top nazi. The stories of Arnold's barbaric harrassment of women are legendary. He publicly admits to steroid use.He supported Enron chief, Ken Lay during the California energy crisis and now his political operatives have launched a blitzkrieg promoting him for President and seeking to end the Constitutional bar against him holding that office. And there's more...
