Sure, Earth Day has come and gone, but if you’re anything like we are at Vox, you make it a priority to take care of our planet 365 days of the year, not just the one. We believe every day is a new opportunity to take care of our environment, which is why Six Apart, our parent company, partnered with Cisco to promote the One Million Acts of Greenwebsite.
One Million Acts of Green is a collaborative environmental campaign encouraging everyone to go green one act at a time. The goal? One million acts of green. Because, as we all know, we’re more powerful together than we can ever be apart.
In order to get more people involved, we created Green Badges for your blog. Whether you blog for the planet or think green is the new black, there’s a badge for every personality.
Each badge links to the One Million Acts of Green, brought to you by Cisco, website. By putting a badge on your blog, you’ll not only be spreading the message of the importance of going green, you’ll be participating in an environmental campaign that will impact the world forever.
Plus, when the badges receive 100,000 impressions across the blogosphere, Six Apart will donate $1000 to The Climate Project.

I really really don't understand jes what is wrong with me. I believe I am rather right than left when it comes to feelings, loathe and hate, love and adored....I wanna be adored! But I don't need to sell my soul, he's already in me...possibly maybe....coz I jes love what I am supposed to hate, but then I have been way different unlike oxygen breathers, surviving on delirium, stopping whispering and shouting out for identity against former and present colonists; gess m a little bit of a phoney and handicapped with a little hypocrisy coz I do love the UK,( it is a CLASH ) and I am so bored with the USA and also a little bohemian too..Okay now, Here it Goes Oh la! I Trip on Scooters and Score on BritPlacebos.......
There is nothing i Regret
As i Trainspot talking sick in my head
on an Inspiral Carpet
and throwing up my meal on Sundays.
While
all around the world
all their people right there right now
seem swell and fine.
So many people
at the country house drinking up the sunshine
in a symposium, happy on Mondays
like the summertime's in bloom
when it's a long cold play winter.
But it ain't enough to be sad,
(it's all in my mind) to pulp your lush to gloom.
It's jes a cover version gone bad.
A Bad Cover Version of Park Life is still a Blur!
Oh yeah!
Damn my education
i can't find
the words to say about the things caught in my mind.
I have a story to tell
of the day we caught the train.
I don`t have enough education to perform my speeches
but unlike a Troubadour
i can write as it really is,
A picture in words better be read
painted from my fantasies
colored in rainbows
(an Ocean Colour Scene)
like a boy drawn rather badly,
a boy with an Arab strap.
But where is Belle and Sebastian
and what's a Wonderwall anyway?
Is it a New Order
or jes a mull historical society
or
a Charlatan
going down to the lake?
but then
Don't Tell me
even though
The silence Is Killing me.
But i believe it's a
Ten Storey Love Song,
catatonic as it was built with
stone by stone roses.
coz
i got roses in the hospital (la distresse duerera)
from the generation terrorists.
Secret is a science
of disobeying your conscience.
Your heart is the great dictator
and you just have to obey the emperor...
It's a crime to say sorry,
It's a pleasure to have something to worry.
So keep it,( Sacred) as you would, a treasure!
don't flaunt it, (Even when you are) under pressure!
It's all your own, (And under its weight) you are going down!
you are a brave soul, (Naive though are) take it to the grave!
It has been quite a while, i cant keep posting new stuff frequently nowadays...Busy At Work, sounds sensible and politicaly correct.aint that so? but it really aint so, I work like a log and sleep like a dog..
Neway here is my latest obsession....The Asteroids Galaxy Tour;"Welcome on board"
Well i dunno but it came in a sudden,like a meteor like mette, but the irony is that it reached me via something i loathe most ...Corporate Stuff, from a commercial, but thanks the Lord wherever or nowhere he or she is...they still carry this sound..raw, swagger, sweet&twee, glam indie stuff and all that jazz, rhythm and blues.whatever!
Anyway, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (damn my education)are/is Danish(Denmark i.e.)
and its fronted by this songbird Mette Lindberg.
They really got this intriguing dance and disco sound rendered in an indie kinda way, somewhat like a cross between Blondie and the Dandy Warhols with lotsa sax which really is too much a bait, you cant escape being a Fish.
Getting back to the details again the band members consits Lars Iversen, Miloud Carl Sabri, Sven Meinilid, Mads Brinch Nielsen, and Jasper Einegaard.(i stil dunno which one is which) but the thing is that Iversen is their primary songwriter, and often uses small samples to create their tracks.
Their debut single, "The Sun Ain't Shining No More", was released on September 15, 2008, and became more popular by their song "Around the Bend", which was used in an Apple iPod Touch in September 2008, and released as a single in October. An EP version featuring two new tracks was also released in November.
Here is the latest thing
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's is set to release their debut albumin May 2009. under the working title 'Fruit'. This will include their songs "The Sun Ain't Shining No More" and their famous iPod advert song "Around The Bend". The official date is yet to be announced, the band is likely to announce the official day on their myspace page where they have previously announced all other information.
