Last thoughts before I close!

This week ahead, Monday, sees a public holiday. I for one, believe I am working. If I am not, I will have more time to collect my thoughts and do some catching up on my reading... Certainly nothing else to do since there is no one else around... 

Pick of the Week

This is my Choice for pic. of the week

Created By My Dear Friend - A True Ambassador of the Sea.

Pic of The Day!

This is certainly a pic worth drooling over, especially for those nature lovers...

Bored!

Currently very bored, But I'm thinking about all the things that still have to be done over the next few months.... I hope I can get them all done soon... I have emotions to contend with, finances and loads of other dreams mulling over in my head... 

Let's stand together and Save The Cove Dolphins!

Well, another week, mmm, not much to say, I hear today the banger boats were docked cause of a storm. That's good news so far for us Ocean Life loving men and woman.

I just hope it keeps strong for a few more days... (Silently wishing for another Tsunami to wipe out that little village) (Curse the the Fishermen who sail those waters) 

In the future we want to see this... 

and not the nasty image depicted below!

This is a huge disaster and it is not only happening in the Cove in Taiji, but stopping them first will be a huge step towards successfully stopping the entire lot.

Want to do something about the Japanese Slaughter?

Below, I have acquired some sources from which you can use, go to their websites, email and write on their Facebook wall, etc...
Rise up and make your voice heard! Let's stop this senseless killing now!

I Say NO!

Time we all stood together against the nations endorsing some form of animal cruelty... I say NO! to Taiji, for slaughtering Whales and Dolphins... No to the clubbing of seals and No to Rhino and Elephant poaching... I also say no to animals in circuses and animals in captivity.

What have I been up to?

Well, it has been some time since my last appearance... I have a job now, so a lot of my time is spent working. Although the job is not stressful it does have it's moments, but most of all, it is fun and I love my job...

I work for a mobile applications, web and graphics design company in Durban, South Africa...

The Boss is friendly and we get on well. Most of the time I am alone at work, so I don't have my boss looking over my shoulder all the time... Work is great, but I can not say the same for my love life... which sucks at the moment...

That is my next priority... Healing the wounds!

On the other hand.

A Special and dear friend of mine, whom I shall rather not mention here... but will tell you a little about her. Is wanting to climb aboard the Sea Sheppard.

Although I do not want my friend to go, I have to stand by her, and fully support the decision - I understand fully the dangers involved in this and it scares me to death thinking, and knowing what the consequences may be if she never returns.

Our 13 year friendship has seen many hardships, many good times and very trying times.

Now I will be left alone to deal with my inevitable yet possible divorce.

However... I am standing by her for I also believe you can not kill and destroy life senselessly and call it a matter of "Pest Control" when the Dolphins, Whales and Sharks are quickly becoming extinct.

Dolphins and Whales in Taiji, and a few more islands around and near by. The clubbing of Seals in Namibia, Rhino and Elephant Poaching and of course, the humiliation of putting some of the remaining animals in captivity and in Dolphinariums and Circuses are just not on.

So, I am ready to support my friend...

Will you?

Do we need to see this on our beaches in years to come?

So this is the saddest thing to see. Once blue, now a bloodbath where all you see in this tiny boat are the fishermen and the Pilot whales they slaughtered.

No one would like to swim in a bloodbath! Would you?

So... Let's go out there and Protest... Choose an animal, and help fight for their right to live... A place on this planet.
