Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

That's fucking weell bloody well right; that's partying.

heh. but they blew the fuse during the soundcheck.

i like pixie because she's funny. and because she calls you at ungodly hours.

" Grumpy bear is cute " -- and i am old, and pixie, you are not; i mean i honestly do not get grumpy care bear, i don't. but my students certainly do.

aww about your dad mark. i didn't always have the best relationship with mine; it's just i don't know. i came home, grew up, realized he's not a jerk, and that i love him; i mean what else is there?

and about giving the green one to charity, that's cool. i hope some great kid got it.

my dad's not a tree hugger zealot though, just a nerdy dude who likes trees. i calculated my carbon emissions, it would take twenty-four trees to offset the CO2 emissions from my lifestyle, luckily for me and pixie's road trip i've now planted thirty four

planting trees is good for one other thing, lats and biceps. a day with post hole diggers and you are like, wow, that's a work out.

"There is some famous woman he used to talk about (who's name escapes me) who did that for a long time and wrote a book about it. Can't fuckin' remember her name right now at all"

was the lady from africa? i've got a picture of her up in my room with our recycling center . . . she fucking rocked!! she still does, won the nobel peace prize in like 2004 -- okay i looked it up, computers are so easy:

Wangari Muta Maathai -- very awesome lady!

pixie, i too used to have this probelm: "milk expiered last week"

but i found a solution, soy milk in the little sipper boxes, it's much harder to waste.

my mom has done corn flakes and orange juice though, you know whatever floats your cheerios.

yes, kyoto, one more reason to frown at bush. i swear if we get anymore his approval rating will be at zero, unfortunately the CO2 emissions will not be. you should read the article in vanity fair, the one about the queen, tony blair, and bush; it's incredibly sad what is going to happen to little old uk because of big old usa. i mean it sucks. they are talking about a possible climate shift that will ruin england.

god bless al gore, i swear. you read his stuff and are like al, i'm so sorry you lost to the moron. really.

this woman is cooler than i thought -- she was born april 1st, all the best ones are aries! hahaha! i'm not really kidding though she is about the coolest modern day chick i've ever seen. she's from kenya. i mean really if you want a female role model, look no further. if you want a wife, keep going . . . and if you watched the winter olympics, you saw her. i don't know if they mentioned her on comedy central. i think they might have missed her . . . a shame.

Activism and political life
In 1977, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, a grassroots environmental non-governmental organization, which has now planted over 30 million trees across the country to prevent soil erosion. She has come to be affectionately called "Tree Woman". Since then, she has been increasingly active on both environmental and women's issues.

Maathai was also the former chairperson of Maendeleo Ya Wanawake (the National Council of Women of Kenya). In the 1980s her husband divorced her, saying she was too strong-minded for a woman, and that he was unable to control her. The judge in the divorce case agreed with the husband.

During the regime of President Daniel Arap Moi, she was imprisoned several times and violently attacked for demanding multi-party elections and an end to political corruption and tribal politics. In 1989 Maathai almost single-handedly saved Nairobi's Uhuru Park by stopping the construction by Moi's business associates of the 60-story Kenya Times Media Trust business complex.

In 2002 Maathai was elected to parliament when Mwai Kibaki defeated Uhuru Kenyatta. She has been Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife since 2003. She founded the Mazingira Green Party of Kenya in 2003.

In 2005, in Kenya's second multi-party elections marred by ethnic violence, she ran for the country's presidency, but her party withdrew her candidacy. On 28 March 2005, she was elected as the first president of the African Union's Economic, Social and Cultural Council.

In 2006 she was one of the eight flag bearers at the 2006 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.
