Reveries From Under The Big Sky

Out of the Blue: Dolphins aren't the only ones that need saving

oceanconsciousness:

I love cetaceans, I really do. In fact, my personal cause is and will always be cetacean anti-captivity but I’m soooo over people who think that the dolphin slaughter in Taiji is the only cause that needs their support. They’re way too overzealous about it, to a point where it’s almost fanatical…

Please take some time to watch this! STOP SOPA! >:(

REBLOG AND SPREAD THE MESSAGE! 

Am afraid one day Tumblr will be gone just like YouTube and other sites. (TAT;)

This very, very, very important and you should all watch, and reblog, and inform everyone about this, please, this is not just about the US, but the whole world too.

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

IT’S KIND OF REALLY IMPORTANT

IT’S KIND OF REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT

Reblogging again for great justice

Oh my god. Seriously? People, watch this.

Oh my god. Everyone should watch this. Seriously guys. O_O

#SOPA

This really, REALLY needs to be reblogged and shared by EVERYONE. I’m not even kidding. I support this guy in every way possible.

The online piracy scandal is just that: a scandal. It’s manufactured bullshit shaped like a martyr story and introduced to our less-than-tech-savvy powers-that-be (lawmakers) as a horrible travesty in which the successful and very-monetarily-sound 1%ers aren’t making enough money, and thus feel the need to criminalize and force ludicrous, exorbitant fees upon the weakest of the 99%ers. I’m not making this up. Look up any RIAA-based piracy lawsuit case. It’s pure, utter bullshit, and this guy has evidence that it was all FABRICATED and PLANNED to be that way. It’s not a conspiracy, or a theory. It’s hard evidence that is frankly PLAIN AS DAY.

Share this. Promote this. MAKE THIS A THING THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED.

And don’t worry if your blog only has 6 followers. REBLOG IT ANYWAY. The more traffic this gets, the bigger it will get. And this is BIG.

FUCKING IMPORTANT. I wouldn’t drop an F-bomb here if it wasn’t important to me.

REBLOG NOW.

reblogging again cuz i forgot to tweet it

shiiiiiiit

reblogging into forever

Great Start Thus Far

January has marked the beginning of a change… a change for the better.  I sent off my registration to photography school, ordered new glasses, went on a short trip with my mother and grandmother… Its shaping up to be a good month.  Hopefully I will know whether or not I got into the school this week.  Once I know that, then I will be letting my bosses know that there is a change in my future that will cause me to be leaving the company… Thank Gawd!  

In other news… I picked up Battlefield 3 over the weekend.  Super fun, amazing game.  If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it.  Also, I seem to be missing the charger for my camera’s battery… I have missed a few great sunset shots because of this missing cord.  I cannot for the life of me remember the last place I had it.  Typically, it is next to the plug in but alas, it ran away!


Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright

– Billy Joel

Change Is Coming

Up to this point in my life… I haven’t really known who I was or where I wanted to go… My life didn’t have a direction… but change is coming… I can feel it.  The coming year is going to be huge for me.  I am sure of that… 2012 Bring It On!
