Massive North Atlantic Garbage Patch Mapped

Lets Go.

The truth is I do have a lot to lose. And I hate that I am growing up and becoming soaked with convention through and through. I am faced with the reality that I can't just take off and live in a van for a year. I mean I could...but is that really what I want or should be doing? I am building the connections here in Southern California and will most likely end up here after I graduate. I am weirdly OK with that...I wouldn't have been 3 months ago. I WANT to be self sufficient, pay off my loans, buy a computer, buy a camera and be 'comfortable'....ewe! What has happened to me? maturity? truth? acceptance? contentment?

Chantilly Clad

This was an event that the Arts Council of Long Beach put on as part of the "A Lot" Series where they use vacant spaces to make them public art use. This beautiful stage and installation was created by the art group Greenmeme. Their design was to use Long Beach's industrial skyline and the juxtaposition of the nautical history to create a wonderful lace structure.

During the two day event, Paul Dateh and DJ Inkah one juxtaposed classical violin with hip hop beats to create a spectacular first performance under the Chantilly Clad installation. The concert was part of the Summer and Music series. The evening also had a panel discussion about public art and civic engagement.

I got to work the info booth both nights and had such a blast buskering people for their emails and telling them GLOBAL! Plus a few of my wonderful friends stopped by: Darcy and Ryan the sailor.

A GIANT TURTLE FOUND = A bundle of fun.

Extinct, King Koopa-Style Giant Turtle Found on Pacific Island


Well looks like this cutie's shell was 5 ft. long. I don't know about you but I am picturing myself bareback on my very own pet turtle, sauntering across the shores of Samoa and feeding this beast whole coconuts and kava. My occupation would be to breed them so these lil tykes would never become extinct. Then we could all have giant turtles. One for everyone!

Plane ticket to Paris...S'il vous plait?

Cataphiles are urban explorers who illegally tour the Paris "catacombs", the term popularly used to describe a series of underground tunnels that were formerly a network of stone mines.

I think I felt that way once.

Anxiety

Your brain carries a basket of neurons constantly being teased and knocked over by the devilish Amygdala.

that repetitive game makes you desire what you don't need and act on your reckless instinct to quench your thirst - even though you know it's poison you're drinking.

Don't drink that poison. Stare at it. let it collect dust.

Then let your thoughts be drilled and leaked from the profound revines of your memory trap. let them socialize with the poison, flush them both, and watch the rusted liquid dissolve into the greater abyss.

And you'll laugh as the wasted moments and tarnished daydreams flee from your mind.
