i'm back! [& freebies]

Hey now!

Although I haven't posted anything in like over 10 months I decided to come back (at least for a few more posts) for now! First things first. If you haven't seen it already in my last blog entry I showed pictures of my t-shirt I entered into a peta2 contest. Well I was the one who won! You can check out some of the other zombie t-shirts here.

The Tofu the Vegan Zombie figurine I won in my backyard!
Now that that is out of the way I only have a few more small things to talk about in this entry. If you haven't seen yet peta2 has redone their whole website! I love the new look as well as some of the new features. You can check out my street team profile here. Feel free to add me as a friend or join the street team if you haven't already!

Also with the new peta2 website and new boards and with me becoming active again. I decided to create a new website to list all of the "Hippie Freebies". So I search the web and find legitimate vegetarian, vegan, animal welfare, animal rights, animal liberation, human rights, equality, environmentalism and other like freebies and then list them all for you to see and score as well. So if you are a poor jobless student like me or are just a greedy person who likes free stuff feel free to check it out:


I do believe that is all I have for now. I plan on to post more often once again and actually should have some really good things to write about in the next few blog entries.

flesh is for zombs

Ello

So Flesh is for Zombies is one of peta2's newer campaigns. Basically just encouraging people to go veg*n because eating meat is gross and should only be for zombies or in other words "to survive the zombie apocalypse you have to go veg*n."  So at the beginning of the month peta2 posted a blog entry/ mission about a contest they were holding.  You had to make a "flesh is for zombies" shirt and send in a picture of you wearing it by August  22nd in order to be in the running to win the Tofu the Vegan Zombie figurine. Also anyone who makes one gets 2,500 street team points!

So I had an idea for mine for most of the month but didn't really start working on it until a few days before it was due.  I still got it done on time and I think it came out pretty decently. Check it out:



I already got my points! Now we just have to wait till the 29th to see who wins.  See a few more awesome entries here: another peta2 blog entry. In the mean time also check out Tofu the Vegan Zombie (I love him!) in Zombie Dearest.

I also recently got my peta2 college pack in the mail!  So my new stickers and such will soon be going on my notebooks and folders and such for college soon.

Love

weeac [google & facebook]

Hi

    First things first WEEAC, World Event to End Animal Cruelty.  It is going to really take place on Saturday October 8th 2011.  It is to bring together everyone who is against animal cruelty if you are for animal welfare, animal rights, animal liberation, or even if your not for any of those but just want to see the end of animal cruelty. Events are being planned all over the world but they need as much help as they can get to make this really big and make a good impact for the animals. So go like them on facebook and spread the word.

   I have been doing a lot to support WEEAC so much so my little sister keeps saying "if you love WEEAC so much why don't you just marry it".  I am researching elephants for them [you can help research an animal too!] its fun because elephants are my favorite animal. I have also made the following two images for them:




    Now moving on I want to quickly mention that both google adsense and google checkout should now be working on my blog.  As I have said before I am currently jobless [looking and applying] and I will be commuting to college in the fall.  So any money that I get from people clicking on the ads or any money that you donate to support me will be appreciated.  I will try to primarily use it to buy awesome vegan and animal rights stuff to blog about.

I currently have my eye on:
Note in the box it suggests $5 [which would be great!] but you can send as little as $0.50!  Some of the money might end up going towards paying for college stuff an gas to commute to college but trust me people I really want those vegan treats!  Right now I'm not really offering anything in exchange for money [except blogging]  but in the near future here I am thinking about starting up my deviantART and then asking for donations in exchange for art and design.

   One last thing for this blog I am looking for suggestions.  I am working on the ffb fb page and I am looking for other official pages on facebook that have to do with my hippie interests.  I currently already liked 64 pages but if anyone knows of anymore that would be great.  It will also help me find more things to blog about.
Happiness

me, myself, and peta2

Hey

    So I started this account a few months ago and was going to make it a blog about my personal in depth beliefs on different animal rights issues.  Two blog posts later and I decided I didn't want to do that anymore.  So now I am going to be doing something more fun.  Far far blog will be more like your usual blog.  It will basically be about the hippie part of me.  So I will be blogging about my favorite products, companies, and organizations that are either vegetarian, animal, human, and or earth friendly.  From time to time I might add in the negatives that people who care about humans, animals, and or the earth should know about and help spread the word about but I am going to try to keep this more of an optimistic blog.  There also might occasionally be blogs on other things such as daily happenings or some of my other interests sprinkled in.

    I think I am going to try and keep most of my blog entries short yet at least somewhat informative.  For now I am not going to keep myself on a schedule about when I have to blog or how often or anything like that.  I don't want to keep this as just an introductory blog so I am going to try and jump right into some actual blogging.

    PETA, I'm sure if you are reading my blog chances are you already know of this organization.  They are a very controversial well know organization that supports animal rights.  I know some of you other hippie's might not care for them but personally I love PETA and everything they do especially when it comes to just spreading the word about animal rights.  But the first thing I really want to blog about is peta2, I really love peta2 likely because I am only 19.

PETA2.com


    Peta2 is a branch off of PETA they still do the same great work but they work more through bands, actors, actresses, athletes, schools and colleges to get the word out to teens and young adults.  If you haven't already I suggest all of you teen animal lovers go and sign up for the peta2 street team.  It is free and as a member of the street team you can talk on the peta2 boards with other teens like yourself and for doing things to support animal rights you can earn points that gets you cool "street team goods". [animal rights merch!]  You can also find me on the peta2 street team as F.A.R.

    Also while I am at it I will mention another branch off PETA, PETAKiDS, a branch of course appropriate in spreading the word of animal rights for younger kids.  So depending on your age or preference please check one of them out.  Also if you don't have money to spare like myself [a jobless college kid] you can always contact PETA and ask for them to send you some promotional information and they will gladly send you some awesome stickers and information!

    So I noticed this first blog entry is more boring and a little lengthier then I would have liked it to be.  But I promise it will get better [without the talk of blogging and with more multimedia etc] so it would be great if you stuck around and followed ffb.  I will also be tweaking with the layout and design of the blog still. [I tried to make it decent looking before I posted at all] Leave a comment, contact me by e-mail [farfarblog@gmail.com], like the ffb facebook page, and spread the word.  Comments, questions and suggestions are all appreciated and trolling will be ignored and deleted!

Peace
