CattleGirl

Welcome to my user page!

Please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. I'll respond quickly! Thanks for visiting, I hope you like your stay >.< Have a look at the rest of this page to know more about me... And thanks to Riana for the design, and to Erich, and Editor at Large, who both helped create it in the first place. By the way, I'm quite not sure what difference it makes, but people seem to think it important... I view this page in Internet Explorer. :)
Cheers- CattleGirl

About me

R.I.P. Andy, Damo, Casey, and Pattie.

I'm a very passionate musician, so I tend to hang around those pages (and shows >.<) that I'm interested it. I'm straight edge, and listen to a lot of alternative and punk, alternative rock, metal... anything with a good set of guitars, really. Shows are fun. Hm. That's me.

I work with cattle a lot, usually red or black angus, as well as sheep. So I'll see all of you show-goers at the Melbourne Show...

I'm also a proud supporter of Greenpeace, a non-violent organisation that works for sustainability of the world's resources, and also saving lives of countless animals, most notably whales. I'm involved in many campaigns in reducing global warming, which raises money for funding green energy resources, as well as raising public awareness.

I also do not support nuclear waste and power, whaling, and bottom trawling, which is causing damage to the bottom of the earth's oceans.

Music

I'm one of two electric guitarists and backup singers in my band, and I care a lot about what I do. Since one of my passions is music, I wanted to say one thing on here. Don't cancel out an entire genre of music because of stereotypes. If you don't like one song, or a lifestyle, it doesn't mean it's all bad! Be open to all sorts of music, listen to people's suggestions for songs to listen to, and if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, you don't, whatever it is. Admittedly, most people, including me, enjoy one sort of music more than others- you'd be hard pressed to find a pop song I like, and I really don't like most "house" songs-but seriously, be open to everything. One more thing- if you don't like something, Wikipedia is not the place to tell everyone. There's forums for that.

Interesting websites

Please visit these sites- I find them interesting:

Randomness.

Due to me discovering the joys of userboxes, I found that they were cluttering this page... but please feel free to have a look through them here. The ones that belong to projects inside Wikipedia I put on THIS page, as well as a couple of interesting ones.

Picture of the day

Raising a Flag over the Reichstag (Russian: Знамя Победы над Рейхстагом, romanized: Znamya Pobedy nad Reykhstagom, lit. 'Victory Banner over the Reichstag') is an iconic World War II photograph, taken during the Battle of Berlin on 2 May 1945 by Yevgeny Khaldei. The photograph was reprinted in thousands of publications and came to be regarded around the world as one of the most significant and recognizable images of World War II, but, owing to the secrecy of Soviet media, both the identity of photographer and the identities of the men in the picture were often disputed.

The Reichstag was seen as symbolic of, and at the heart of, Nazi Germany. It was arguably the most symbolic target in Berlin. After its capture on 2 May 1945, Khaldei scaled the now pacified Reichstag to take a picture. He was carrying with him a large flag, sewn from three tablecloths for this very purpose, by his uncle. The official story would later be that two hand-picked soldiers, Meliton Kantaria (Georgian) and Mikhail Yegorov (Russian), raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag, However, according to Khaldei himself, when he arrived at the Reichstag, he simply asked the soldiers who happened to be passing by to help with the staging of the photoshoot; the one who was attaching the flag was 18-year-old Private Kovalev from Burlin, Kazakhstan; the two others were Abdulkhakim Ismailov from Dagestan and Leonid Gorychev (also mentioned as Aleksei Goryachev) from Minsk.Photograph credit: Yevgeny Khaldei for TASS; restored by Adam Cuerden
