CURRENT MISSION

Change the way you look at things and the things you see will change.

ABOUT ME

I can go from cynical to enlightened in under 60 seconds. I enjoy all dreams, including nightmares. The worst is guilt, nostalgia, and feeling empty. The best is cuddling, singing, and feeling unstoppable. I believe in dancing, not fighting. Harboring hate makes you one with your offender. I wish there were more hours in the day: less winter and more summer. I have a basic sense that things will work out for me. I enjoy winning at pool, singing in the shower and boys in general, as well as sleep, healthfulness and reading. I hate debt, disorganization, and living the same day twice. I'm ready for the NEXT BIG THING.

PHILOSOPHY

People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse
You of selfish motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends
And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;

It never was between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa~

Want to do something to help stop global warming?
Here are ten simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you'll save doing them.

Change a Light:
Changing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbob dioxide a year.

Drive less:
Walk, bike, carpool, or take mass transportation more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for ever mile you dont drive!

Recycle more:
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

Check your tires:
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbob dioxide out of the atmosphere!

Use less hot water:
It takes lots of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow shower head (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).

Avoid products with a lot of packaging
You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you can reduce your garbage by 10%.

Adjust your thermostat:
Moving your thermostat just down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer. You could save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.

Plant a tree:
A single tree with absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its life time.

Turn off electronic devices:
Simply turning off your TV, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last night when I was sitting on the couch with Kasper and H-Steve and I squished my water bottle and the water jumped right out straight up and then landed back in the bottle... That was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen... except for all the other cool things I've seen.
