Even though I am a Californian, and a Southern Californian at that, I still appreciate the rain. It makes me happy.

Love 142

So there is this band.
they are called 'The Wrecking'
you should look them up. really.
They're pretty darned good, even if I am saying that as a biased personal friend.
Doug does lead Vocals, Joe is on Keys and backup vocals, Darren on drums and vocals, and Karl on bass, keys, and vocals
Anyhow, they just got back from their tour with Jeremy Camp, and are now on tour with Plumb.
Cool, I know.

So anyways, even if thier music is a little bit digitally doctored up, they still are great guys and stellar musicians, and I felt like sharing one of their songs with you =)
Here is their music video for "The Sound of the Resistance"

check out their website at www.thewrecking.net
and feel free to look them up on Facebook, too =)

here's the best part. They are fighting against Human Trafficking.
Did you even know that human beings, thousands of them, people just like you and me, are sold like cattle, on a daily basis?!
The vast majority of this business involves selling young girls into sex slaverey, but anyone is a potential victim, young or old, male or female. Many of the goods and producs that we buy are made by these slaves. That's why I always make sure that the goods I buy are labeled as "free trade", and if not, I don't buy it until I look it up online and make sure that it is.
This is my way of standing up to modern day slaverey.
And now, I encourage you to go out there and do something.
