Your home. The air enters your lungs and then your blood. It amalgamates with you, your body and your spirit. The air blends with the very fabric of your being. It&#8217;s deep and elemental to who we are. It fuels us. It defines us. It is our life-breath. Protect it, your life depends upon it.</p> <p>Drenched in tales of yore, Ireland&#8217;s forests are a special kind of breed. They are ours to enjoy and to foster. To care for and to pass on in a better state than we inherited them. It&#8217;s time to show our inept and deluded government that they are obligated to listen to and to satisfy us, the people. There are a bunch of petitions online about this issue, one with tens of thousands of signatures, however this particular one is so close to reaching it&#8217;s goal. Your signature will tip it over. Please sign it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Stop_Irish_government_from_selling_our_forests_to_pay_for_the_financial_crisis/?fFFMGeb&amp;pv=3" target="_blank">Sign the Petition</a></p> <p>Here&#8217;s another petition with far far more signatures.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/help-save-irelands-forests/" target="_blank">http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/help-save-irelands-forests/</a></p>http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49935596393http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49935596393Wed, 08 May 2013 15:54:00 +0100<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/64lDaAmpvSo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Happy Birthday Soul Bass!</p>http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49903817021http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49903817021Wed, 08 May 2013 03:21:47 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e6ee2d3aa807b31708a0f62fcfd92e28/tumblr_mmg7g31y731qfuck5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49882279333http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49882279333Tue, 07 May 2013 22:52:51 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9a96329b50eaa6955fdc9dd2c720c863/tumblr_mmfy3vImk51qfuck5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Into the night.</p>http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49867921199http://blog.sefsar.com/post/49867921199Tue, 07 May 2013 19:31:07 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4eb2b0acff84816f9229db43ed2ffa8b/tumblr_mm96qas9ue1qfuck5o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>I just came across <a href="http://www.teespring.com" target="_blank">www.teespring.com</a> so I decided too crowdfund a t-shirt from a tweet I posted a while back.</p> <p>Check it out, it’s only $10: <a href="https://teespring.com/launchsoftwarenotmissiles" target="_blank">https://teespring.com/launchsoftwarenotmissiles</a></p> <p>Also, as it’s a crowd-funded project, the t-shirt will only be printed providing there are at least 10 pre-orders.
