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

CHECK OUT MY BAND:
New Day Rising
I have been playing music with Zak Knutson and Mike Burns on and off for around 5 years now. We have played many different things with multiple band names and had a lot of fun doing it.
Things have changed a lot for everyone this year. Zak has pretty much made the decision to do his own thing now, for many reasons. I don't think he likes the direction we have gone with our music. We have tried to work things out to keep Zak, but It's just not what he wants anymore. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everything work for everybody. Zak is and has been a great friend of mine (basically a Brother) for a long time and I hope that the "band thing" doesn't change that.
For everyone who really knows me... you know that music is Me! I recently realized that's what I want to do with my life(for income). Not just to practice in my band room, but to hit the road and play on the big stages. I'm at the point now where I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
I think we're sounding really good. The new songs are going in a great direction. We're singing about real shit with a nice funk/jazz/rock fusion sound. The recordings we have on the site are kinda crappy. They are just recorded practices. I used my MacBook Pro Laptop with "garageband". All I did was set the computer in the center of the band room and hit record using the internal microphone. The quality is great considering how it was done. Although... once everything is dialed in and actually plugged in through a fire-wire interface (rather then recording everything at once through the internal microphone), we're going to have great quality tracks. Hopefully in about 6 months or so we'll be heading to the studio for a professional quality CD that we can share with the world.
Ok... just go check us out. click here for our myspace page .
--------------------------------------------------------- Hello to all my friends and family who visit my site. You all ready know me, so there's no point in typing all the boring details about myself. For those of you who don't know me...well, just know that I am me and that's all that matters ;) Really though...I am just trying to keep my sanity in this crazy world. I have been on a path of helping people achieve health through my "fitness training", and trying to help this place become a more peaceful and loving environment, not only for now, but for our children to enjoy. While doing all of this I keep myself entertained with my music. I play drums, guitar, piano etc... That seems to keep me busy when I'm not trying to save the world.

New Day Rising (Cartoon)



I love music of all kinds! I have created music in one way or another my whole life. As far as my opinion on bands that I'm not in... they Suck! hah. Really though. I would have to say that unsigned bands is where most of my respect goes. Don't get me wrong, there has been some great stuff from big labels. But, I like the ones who do it for the love of the music. The guys who are in it for the money don't make as good of music, cause their hearts not in it. I won't buy your cd if your all about the materialistic crap like a mansion in Beverly Hills with big gas guzzling suv's and blowing money on completely pointless shit just for the sake of spending money (your part of the problem). Floater is definitely in my highest ranks of
respect. In my opinion they are amongst the highest
class of musicians in the world.
Here's some pics of Floater. If you haven't heard
them, do yourself a favor and check them out at

Check out ZUVUYA!
These guys are an incredible musical trio. Do yourself and favor and go listen to their music.

Television:

IT ALL SUCKS. IT'S NOTHING BUT A VEHICLE FOR PROGRAMING YOUR BRAIN TO BE NAIVE, GULLABLE, WASTEFULL, SELFISH, LAZY, FAT, STUPID, RACIST, JUDGMENTAL, AND DANGEROUSLY PATRIOTIC TO THE POINT OF SUPPORTING CRAZY WARS!!...AND TOXIC(due to corporate toxic sludge and pharmacueticals that are being crammed down your throat). NOT TO MENTION THE MOUTHFULL OF PROPAGANDA YOU GET FROM THE "CORPORATE MEDIA" EVERY TIME THEY SPEAK...
WHAT WE AS "AMERICANS" ARE DOING TO THE WORLD CAUSE OF OUR GREED AND LAZINESS IS BARBARIC. WE MAKE UP LESS THAN 6% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION... YET WE CONSUME NEARLY 60% OF THE WORLDS NATURAL RESOURCES. HOW BARBARIC IS THAT??? WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK WE ARE ABSOLUTELY HATED BY THE REST OF THE WORLD. WE ARE RUINING THIS PLANET BLINDLY BECAUSE OUR "CORPORATE GOVERNMENT" DOESN'T CARE FOR A SECOND ABOUT THE FUTURE, ONLY ABOUT NOW AND WHAT THE PROFITS ARE FOR THIS QUARTER. The fact is...we have the controll by not being the
"consumer" and "supporter". It's that easy.

Check out this little clip of George Carlin talking some"real truth" that hits the nail on the head. This may not resonate with the ignorant, narrow minded, american mentality that seems to haunt the educated people. (oh yeah...I can go on, and on, and on...) ;) Well...the ones who aren't outraged....simply, aren't paying attention.

Read the Book:
"A People's History of the United States"

(Really...click the link above and read the book!)
Africa’s Congo is the world's second largest rainforest, and it is under threat. Tens of millions of people depend on the Congo for their survival, and as a major biodiversity hotspot, it’s home to some of Africa's most amazing wildlife, like gorillas, bonobos and forest elephants. Like all large intact forests, the Congo is a critical defense against man-made climate change.
Take Action!
International logging companies are creating social and environmental destruction in the Congo. Taxes paid by companies for rights to log the forest are supposed to go to forest communities for essential services like education and healthcare. But over the last three years, not a cent paid by logging companies has reached local communities.
In exchange for timber worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the companies are giving “gifts” like bags of salt and crates of beer worth less than $100. Poorly paid officials sometimes have only a bicycle to help them patrol vast areas of rainforest, making enforcement of conservation law basically impossible.
Help Save The Congo!
Despite a moratorium on new logging being in place since 2002, over 37 million acres of rainforest (an area the size of Illinois) have been granted to the logging industry, most of this in areas vital for protecting biodiversity. But it's not too late to prevent the destruction of this rainforest and the communities it supports. Please help: make your voice heard !

Greenpeace recently had some fun in NYC, at Kimberly-Clark's expense:
Check out the funny video of the action!
Kleenex is destroying the ancient forests of North America. Its manufacturer, Kimberly-Clark, the largest tissue company in the world, is clearcutting the North American Boreal forest to manufacture products that are used once and then flushed down the toilet. Representing 25 per cent of the world’s remaining intact forests, the Boreal is an important buffer against global warming. But to Kimberly-Clark, it’s disposable.
K-C was in Times Square on the 24th, filming interviews for their "Let It Out" Kleenex ad campaign. In this series of advertisements, folks are recruited off the street to sit on a blue couch and share personal stories that make them cry into Kleenex tissues.
We sent in three undercover Greenpeace activists with hidden mics to infiltrate their interviews and talk about what makes us unhappy: wiping out ancient forests for disposable tissue products. While one activist was being filmed on the Kleenex couch, folks in Kleercut t-shirts appeared out of nowhere and unfurled a banner behind the couch, making a sweet Kleercut campaign commercial…
The Kleenex team was caught off guard. They stopped the film shoot and for the rest of the day Greenpeace distributed information and communicated with New Yorkers about K-C’s forest crimes. We effectively shut down a multi-million dollar ad campaign, and K-C execs looked none too pleased in their suits and their scowls.
Very kind of Kleenex to go to such lengths to set the stage for our own campaign commercial. Big ups to the NYC crew.
Check out the video , and please favorite it and leave a good comment!
