"First in my prayer, before all other deities,

I call upon Gaia, Primeval Prophetess . . .

The Greek great earth mother."

~Aeschylus

So, as many of you know today/yesterday is/was Earth Day. Hopefully you helped out in some way or another. The reason I am getting this posted about an hour past Earth Day is because I had given up computer usage for Earth Day. Earth day is a day dedicated to help keep our lady Gaia (the earth) clean and healthy.

Today to help out with the wonders of being a good Samaritan, I helped my brother recycle plastic bags at the Giant Food Store, cleaned out some of my soda cans which will be later recycled. I kept off the computer till now, although others were using it. I did my best to help out in the small ways that should be done everyday. From now on I will make my everyday and Earth Day!

I have a question. Why is it so hard for some one to maybe turn off a few lights during the day? Or even limit them selves to how long they spend on the computer or watch TV? How come it is so difficult to recycle cans and bottles instead of sending them to the landfill? Why won't people help out but picking up their butts from smoking and putting them in a butt bucket or trashcan(after they are for sure out)? Why can't we turn the water off while brushing our teeth or take shorter showers? Also using cloth bags would help cut back on the waste of the plastic ones, or the plastic ones could be taken to be recycled. Things like this are so simple yet people don't notice how much it could help if done on a wide scale. I will admit it I am not 100% Eco-friendly but I try my darnedest to do things earth friendly. From now on I will do my best to GO GREEN!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

There is a bill before congress which is called the H.R. 669 - The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act. This bill is basically saying all animals which are not native to America will be illegal to own, breed, and sell. This will make many businesses go down the toilet and a lot of jobs will be lost. Not to mention our beloved animal friends will be terminated for no fault of their own.

This will include almost all aquarium fish, including Betta fish and even the most common of all goldfish. Pet rodents such as hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs will also be affected along with reptiles and birds. Even some species of dogs and cats may be affected by this. The jobs of pet store owners and the employees are at stake. If you care for the jobs of pet shop workers or animals in general whether or not they are yours or someones you know please take the time to watch this YouTube video and check out the website mentioned in it. You can also go right to the website if you don't want to watch the video but I recommend it.

So I have decided to start drawing on the various avatar based website I am joined to.

Gaiaonline; Zantarni; and Menewsha. Username for all: Tetki
Look me up and contact me about being a guinea pig. I have the right to refuse any one if I think the avatar is too cluttered. Also I have the right to remove any items I feel I can not draw. No offence intended.

I will be looking for 'guinea pigs' so to say. I would like some people to start sketching and stuff so I can get in some practice before I decide to start selling. I am hoping I will be able to improve my style so I can eventually do art for in the real world. I am going to start out with simple pencil drawings because I don't plan on spending hours on end working for some one just so I can get virtual money. That would be silly. Maybe on special occasions I will work harder or if its an avatar I really like but for now that's it.

On a side note this is not what my blog will be all about. This is just a little something to get started.

If you are interested in checking out my art take a look at my Deviant art page @ nomers.deviantart.com

I guess that is all for now. I will be blogging again soon with more interesting subjects.
