Against the killing of wolfs in Switzerland

I don't know if you have heard or not but an other wolf got shot in Switzerland this week cause it was hungry and actually killed a few cows and some sheep (OMG!!!!!)

It was a couple living together in the Swiss Alps so now the female is left over by itself and authorities want to shoot that 2nd wolf too.

That's too much I thought and created that new facebook page: Against the killing of wolfs in Switzerland.

Farmers would need to protect their livestock with dogs but I guess they are just too lazy to do that.....ridicoulos and pathetic!!!

Please join the page and help me with my cause!!!

Ben Harper

Oh...it's been a long long time I know;-) I have been busy travelling and studying and just didn't really have the time to write a new blog post but I'm on it again;-)

I'm back in Denver and chillin out in my room right now, just happy to chill and relax, listening to my i-pod and one of my favorite songs came up.... I absolutely love that song, makes me think a lot and that I really wanna go see Ben Harper in a concert again.....best concert I've been to!

Here the lyrics and a video:

Enjoy;-)

"Excuse Me Mr."

Excuse me Mr.
do you have the time
or are you so important
that it stands still for you

excuse me Mr.
won't you lend me your ear
or are you not only blind
but do you not hear

excuse me Mr.
but isn't that your oil in the sea
and the pollution in the air Mr.
whose could that be

so excuse me Mr.
but I'm a mister too
and you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you

so I'm taking the Mr.
from out in front of your name
cause it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame

and I've seen enough to know
that I've seen too much

excuse me Mr.
can't you see the children dying
you say that you can't help them
Mr. you're not even trying

excuse me Mr.
won't you take a look around
Mr. just look up
and you will see it's comin' down

excuse me Mr.
but I'm a mister too
and you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you

so I'm taking the Mr.
from out in front of your name
cause it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame

and I've seen enough to know
that I've seen too much

so Mr. when you're rattling
on heaven's gate
let me tell you Mr.
by then it is too late

cause Mr. when you get there
they don't ask how much you saved
all they'll want to know, Mr.
Is what you gave

excuse me Mr.
but I'm a mister too
and you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you

so I'm taking the Mr.
from out in front of your name
cause it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame

And cause his songs are so amazing here an other one;-)

Breathe Festival in Itacaré, Brazil

I'm sitting at the airport in Salvador right now, waiting for my next flight to Lisbon.

I spent 9 days here in Brazil at the Breathe Festival in Itacaré, Bahia, and it was an amazing experience.....

Check out their site for more info about them: http://www.breathefoundation.org/

As Swatch was a sponsor for this event, me and some other team riders could go down there to check it all out and paticipate.

We planted trees, visited schools, went bird watching, walked in the jungle and much more....

I could write pages and pages but I think the most important is what I've learned on that trip and I've learned quite a bit and it opened my eyes....

Itacaré is definitely not a moden city, no its a little village that tries to live out of tourism. People live in wooden houses, some in better ones, some in houses that don't look like houses to me....most of them walk every where cause they can't afford a car, the ones that can afford a bike or a horse are lucky.

They don't know what to do with their trash so they just throw everything in a whole, away from where people could see it.

All people I've met have been supper nice to me, trying to help when needed, and I do understand portugese now...;-) I was surprised they understood my spanish so well...;-)

It made me realize that you can be happy with nothing....when we visited that school those kids were just sooo happy to see us, we brought them food and cooked for them and I think they will remember that day for a while. Everyone wanted to play with my I-phone, and take pictures with our cameras ...it was amazing to see and I've learned that I'm supper lucky with where I grew up, with all the possiblities I was given to in my life and that most of the people in this world don't have what I have.....

Some videos will be up soon too and I will post the links to them as soon as they are out;-)

Now it's picture time;-)

One little girl from that school we visited...they jumped in our cars and hold on to the cars when we wanted to leave.....

Some trash right next to the school.....

In the Jungle.....doesn't that look amazing?

The other side of town....amazing houses all over....this was our Swatch Team house in Itacaré.

Some houses next to the school.....

At a cacao farm....with our new friend just watching us;-)
