People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Canada’s annual seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. Last year, the world looked on in horror as the Canadian government permitted the slaughter of more than 330,000 harp seals. During the hunt, baby seals are shot or repeatedly clubbed. Sealers bludgeon the animals with clubs and “hakapiks” (clubs with metal hooks on their ends) and drag the seals—who are still conscious—across the ice floes with boat hooks. An estimated 42 percent of the animals are skinned alive. Hunters toss dead and dying seals into heaps and leave their carcasses to rot on the ice floes because there is no market for seal meat. Veterinarians who have investigated the hunt have found that hunters routinely fail to comply with Canada’s animal welfare standards.
It is legal in Canada to kill seal pups when they are about 12 days old. During last year’s hunt, almost all the seals killed were 3 months old or younger. Many had not yet learned how to swim or eaten their first solid meals. Baby seals are helpless and have no way to escape from the sealers’ clubs.
The sealing industry claims that it is killing more seals because of an increased demand for fur. Although the U.S. banned the sale of seal fur in 1972, anyone wearing the fur of minks, rabbits, foxes, or any other kind of animal is responsible for creating a demand for fur, which pushes Canadian hunters to club more seals each year.
About me: "Do what makes you happiest.
Look upon what gives you joy.
Speak to those who warm your heart.
Listen to that which lifts your spirit.
Surround yourself with sights and sounds.
and people who give you pleasure.
For all the happiness you
give to others all year long,
give yourself a perfect day."

Who I'd like to meet: ....
Darfur Conflict
More than 2 million innocent people have been forced from their homes due to the Darfur Conflict.
At least 400,000 people have been killed.
Over 3.5 million people rely entirely on international aid in order to survive.
The Sudanese government, along with a militia group called “Janjaweed” are responsible for this widespread killing, raping, assault, and village destruction.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, has called the Darfur Conflict “the largest and most complex humanitarian problem on the globe.”
The UN’s top humanitarian official has said that the conflict is “going from real bad to catastrophic”.
The conflict has been going on since July of 2003.
Although most non-government organizations say that 200,000 to 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur, the Sudanese government claims that only about 9,000 have died.
Though they claim to not support the Janjaweed, the Sudanese government has provided money and assistance to the militia group responsible for massacring ethnic groups in Darfur.
The United Nation HAS NOT called the killing in Darfur “genocide”.
According to a World Food Program, over 355,000 people in the Darfur region have been cut off from food aid.

Hour Glass

In the hourglass
The moments pass,
Sifting grain by grain.
Simple specks of sand,
Life at hand,
For loss and not for gain.
With this day
An enormous price you pay,
Once gone, it’s for eternity.
The sand that you possess
Now grows less and less,
So don’t spend it foolishly.

(Sorry this isn't personalized to every individual, I'm sending this out to EVERYONE on the site) While I'm in the process of doing some 'friend cleaning' see blog, I thought it might be a good time to ask those of you who *want* to be here to subscribe to my blog if you haven't already. Not at all necessary to not being deleted, Just thought I might as well get it all done at once, since the process is going to take some time. It may also be a good time for those who don't really support the PTSD cause and/or don't want to see pictures or comments like this to just go ahead and delete, cuz I can't run this site afraid of who I can send what comments to. I mean if you want to delete the comment, but keep me/the site/the cause, that's fine. I just want it to be abundantly clear, if it isn't already, this is and will remain an MJ judgment/hate free site. You don't have to like him....just keep the hate elsewhere. Thanks, I appreciate your understanding and patience during this transitional time. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.subscribe&friendId=143717533&action=subscribe

Steve Hindi is Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices, Friday, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, CFRO 102.7FM Vancouver, online-live at www.coopradio.org. After turning a new leaf in 1989 from being an avid sport-hunter/angler into a leading anti-hunting/anti-rodeo activist, Steve Hindi was inducted into the Animal Rights Hall of Fame during the AR2006 Conference, here pictured with organizer Dr. Alex Hershaft. Steve is a direct-action warrior whose weapons are his sophisticated video cameras for truth recording, his parasail for hunting interference, his Tiger Truck for street-level outreach, and his iron will in saving animals from the human cruelty that he knew so well. Steve has been jailed more than once for obeying his own compassionate conscience than unethically enforced unjust laws. His courage is exemplary. He is one of the reasons why Anthony Marr, himself a hated anti-hunter, never hates hunters in return, while he fights to win over them. Anthony Marr's Animal Voices talkshow is online live (www.coopradio.org) and on the air (CFRO 102.7FM Vancouver) every Friday 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT. Hotline call-in # 604-684-7561. It is archived and replayed at www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr.

I Can Feel You… You’re far away, But I can feel you. You exist in my every breath, In every beat of my heart, Adding a spectacular sizzle In all the right places, Even when I close my eyes I see your face and feel The fire of your cares,. Your Presence is a tangible thing… Yet as hard to grasp as the air I reach for your But you elude me Still I can feel you, The softness of a petal A warm wind on my check, A ray in my vision A distant light that Ever draws me near.
Oh how I long to dance again Just one more chance to dance I want the dance that never ends Let the night be filled with music Let the cares of the day fade away
Oh how I want to dance again I want the dance that never ends Let me feel your beauty and love Let me surround you with mine
Is it possible to live again? I know that I must let go of the past I know that I must let myself go and Forgive myself and others for all the pain Yes let me feel the dance deep in my soul
It is time for me to dance again. The aching I feel in my heart has been replaced by the Burning desire to live again, to dance again I want to dance the dance that will never end
Are you ready to come and dance with me? Are you ready to dance the dance that will Never end? I will be waiting my love tonight come to me, come to me and let the past and your woes fade away. Tonight I want to start the dance that will never end.
