Another Rant By The Hippie! May 24, 2008

<-D

 

  “You can do no great things, just small things with great love.” – Mother Theresa

 

  ^ That quote is now my personal motto. I believe that is so true, Mother Theresa is truly an inspiration for me. If I had to choose a modern role model, it would be her. She was just a kind gentle hearted person who loved so many, and helped so many. It is something I can only live up to and strive to achieve. Maybe this is reason number two the Peace Corps is something that really is in my upcoming future.  Like Kennedy said “Do not ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I think if you just revive it and make it do not ask others what they can do for you, but what you can do for others.

 

  Maybe if we all tried to live by that statement, maybe this world might have a better future. We might not see the change while we are alive, but there might be a change for our grandchildren. Some of us are way to young to even think about grandchildren let alone our own children. This is important, more important then “Global Warming” instead of trying to save the earth, maybe we should think the earth will long be here after us, but stop and realize that we should start help saving peoples lives who are dieing from phamon and pleagues around the world.

 

  Yes, going green is a nice thing to try to do, but it is so ridiculous how people won’t use plastic bags, but buy products that have plastic. So if you want to be hardcore, live under a rock. But if you wanna be with the cool crowd and where shirts for organizations you probably don’t even know about, and walk around with peace signs, fine. But if you actually do care, maybe take the 30 dollars you would spend for the WWF shirt (that only $10 of the 30 even goes to the organization) and actually donate it to a cause that you trulydo believe in. If you think that is crazy and you would never spend 30 dollars on a shirt and want to make a difference. I challenge you to do simple things, like go to the mall and don’t buy anything. Since that shirt, is probably not organic and some kind of chemicals were used to make the fabric and dye it and then oil was used to power the machines that made it, and it probably is not even made in America.  Another simple thing you can do is don’t drink anything but water, everything else is held in a metal can that is being found that is bad for our bodies *check your deodorant* if it isn’t in a can it is in a bottle. It takes at least a few hundred years for one bottle (12 oz.) to deterred. Also, get up off your lazy bum and walk, or ride a bike, and maybe oh my, you might get in shape and do your heart good.

 

  Okay, I can continue with that topic. But I won’t, YAY for enviromental science! I would have never even thought of myself getting into a science as a career, because every time I thought of scientists I would think of that song “Blinding Me With Science” and the movie “Flubber”.  Okay, maybe Mother Theresa wasn’t passionate about the enviroment, but she was passionate about people. She showed compassion and love to people where it was most likely not to be found, Calcuta, India.

 

  Okay, so if you read this blog, I know one person reads my blogs. That’s all that matters ;) because I like listening to their opinion, because it is similar to mine, but can still be different. Whoever this person is, is someone that I think fondly of, and you know who you are. Someone that actually reads my blogs, and listens to me complain about my day and other things. They are a true and good friend, that I am grateful to have them in my life. So if your reading this blog and like it leave a comment, because they are always welcomed, positive and negative feedback always make my day. *this goes for anyone reading*

 

Hopefully it wasn’t just a bunch of rambleings written down on the net.

 

Okay my lovely readers, you should know what time this is, yup this is where I tell you about cool songs, and you go and listen to them. Because you are cool like that!……….

….NEW! by Coldplay *big fan of them, if you have tickets to their concert don’t forget about your lovely blogger, send me a ticket as well* 

 …………”Viva la Vida” by Coldplay…..(yeah i have more then one this time!)

…………”Adia” (I personally LOVE that name! It is so pretty.) by: Sarah McLachlan..

Thanks for reading, if it is reading your first time or if it is you hundredth time.

    Some people will try and convince you that Hippies are dead. This is complete nonsense. In fact, I am still a hardcore Hippie. One only needs to look at our society today to see the changes made by the Hippie movement in the sixties and seventies and you will realize that without such thinking our planet would now be a crispy, dead orb.

    OK, How green is it to take a 45 minute shower? :-)

  3. taktikphotography Says:

    It is as long as you want it to be. If you want to keep it GREEN shut OFF the water when you are not using it, and no baths EVER! Well, a hot bath for when you get that oh so lovely vistor visiting to ease the pain of bad company.

    Remember when i took over an hour in your shower once, and you were like “Sweet PEA! You do remember we are on a water shortage, and the whole state can’t loose its water because a 12 year old girl has taken one long shower!” okay, maybe you didn’t say it like that, but….you get the idea.

  4. Auntie Kim Says:

    I probably did say it like that! :-)
