earth day!

Only when the last tree has died
and the last river been poisoned
and the last fish been caught
will we realise we cannot eat money.
That's human nature.
Nobody does anything until it's too late.



Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better, it's not.

make some noise to stop global warming!

Hello Friend,
Make Some Noise To Stop Global Warming!
You’re probably aware by now that global warming and climate change are huge problems that require urgent and bold action. The more science understands about the situation, the more serious it looks, but it’s not too late to make a difference: what we do in the next few years will have huge consequences for our future and the future of life on our planet. Billions of lives hang in the balance, but so far we’re not seeing the scale of response from government and industry that the situation demands.
So what are ya gonna do about it?
Take Action: Protest!

Our good friends at
stepitup2007.org are organizing the largest nationwide day of protests to stop global warming the country has ever seen: this Saturday, April 14! Their sweet website has details for over 1,000 protests happening all over the country, and all the information you need to get yourself involved. You, friend, really should get your friends together, get out on the street and make some noise on Saturday! This has got to be the most important thing you will do this weekend. Please get involved in this big historic nationwide effort, for the sake of everything good and important in the world!
Peace, ERIK

BE the change you wish to see...


I'm just like any other teeanger trying to get by every challenge i am faced with. giving my life a purpose, i just hate the thought of being here just beacause. i know it might sound so bullshitty but i will go ahead and say it anyways, i really do want to make a difference. not just sit around and be okay with the way things are. there are endless things fucked up in this world. many things that can be changed. and even the smallest things WE do count. you have probably heard this before but we can all REALLY make a difference. obviously you alone cannot change the world --- but hopefully someone will see your acts and might be so inspired by what you are doing that they might start doing things differently too.
many people (like some of my teachers) say i just have too much attitude and that i've got to change that. but of course they just want me to eat up all the bullshit they feed me, of course I am the rebel,the outcast, im the one with no education; for trying to do things right. when we challenge what we have been told is correct- it turns into a big deal. they think they have it all figured out. so when they see a little independant thinking...its all the tv, all the internet, the videogames and rock music that is messing us up; that we are just trying to stand out, its just a desperate measure for attention. but i sure dont care what they think or say. when Columbus said the world was not flat, he was ridiculed. when a new theory is revealed, when the truth is revealed, at first it is ridiculed but afterwards it is accepted. we are just so damn closed minded we leave no space for change.
