I Want Changes To Happen!

Open Your Eyes And Take Action.

About Me

''To close your eyes will not ease another's pain''
This is a place where I will speak out about random things that concern me; things I burn for.
I have very strong views on things that are happening around us. I don't close my eyes to what's going on around in this world.
What I hate the most, are humans. The world isn't fucked up, we're the ones who are. We fucked this world up.
Strangely enough, there are people who do care, who don't close their eyes, and who take action. Maybe there is hope for people, animals, the nature, after all.
As you can tell, my biggest passion is Animal Rights. That's mainly because they're a specie with no rights what so ever. They can't speak for themselves and need our help.
But i burn for a lot of other things as well, something you can tell by the bulletins i send out.
So all in all, this is a place for human rights, as well as animal rights, and not to forget, our environment.
I am fed up of all the lies we're told and all the evilness we're surrounded by.
It's time for many changes!
Take note that Im a foreign speaker, so what I write won't be as well written as I wish It would be.
I will also add other peoples blogs if i find something that appeals to me. I'll be giving you credit for it and link to your profile.
It would be great if you could take pictures of yourself expressing what you stand for. It can be everything from you writing the logo of your organization on your hand, or you holding a banner. I will put the pictures up in my gallery and i will add your myspace page under the picture.
Eventually i'm going to make a blog where i will add everything from a poem, to a school essay, or something you've done that made a difference. I want to show the world that good hearted and devoted people exist.So keep them coming!
Together, we can make a change. Together, we can make a difference.

''I AM THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS;
THROUGH ME THE DUMB SHALL SPEAK
TILL THE DEAF WORLD'S EARS BE MADE TO HEAR
THE WRONGS OF THE WORDLESS WEAK.
AND I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER,
AND I WILL FIGHT HIS FIGHTS;
AND SPEAK THE WORDS OF BEAST AND BIRD
TILL THE WORLD SHALL SET THINGS RIGHT.''

- ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

My Interests

This is a place for everyone who wants a change. I don't care if you're Vegan, Vegetarian or a Omnivore. As long as you want a change, that's what's most important. The little you do can have a big effect. And the more we are, the better!

* VEGANISM * FAIR TRADE * BIO / ORGANIC * ECOLOGY * ANIMAL & HUMAN RIGHTS

I'd like to meet:

Compassionate people. ♥ People who know the real meaning of empathy and sympathy. ♥ You must respect all living creatures. ♥ People with strong views. ♥ People who fight for their, and others rights. ♥ People who shout out. ♥ People who don't close their eyes. ♥ People who want a change. ♥ People who try. ♥ People who don't give up. ♥

I would like to meet people like the one in the story of the starfish.

The Starfish Story
''Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."
