heroes in a half shell

(they had a WHOLE shell thank you very much)

Sometimes you just have to let it take you back. i have LONG since been a believer in the T-u-r-t-l-e power. :] from a very young age i watched the movies and played with the toys, and i miss the simplicity of those childhood things. which brings me to my point.

Ever notice how toys don't just do nothing anymore?

I remember about 14 years ago I had huge ninja turtle action figures. They did nothing, I doubt the existence of accessories...if they did have them, they were long lost come day 3.

14 years ago i had cabbage patch dolls that just LAID there. nothing. emptiness in their eyes and souls. but we brought life to it!

I had toy cars you had to PUSH to make go.

I had barbies (albeit i mostly just ripped off their heads in fascination of the ball on the inside, and for the challenge of trying to put it back on...always harder than it looked.) and they did NOTHING.

Now cabbage patch kids don't just sit there, try finding an elmo doll that doesn't laugh, and action figures action on their own, cars move with remotes, and barbies...well now she has a billion siblings and friends and whatnot and its just all gone to crap.

Give the kids back their imagination.

I want my big ninja turtles back. :(

want in one hand....which weighs more?

i just wish someone would plop down $50,000 for me to finish college and then to be able go help those people with my education. with my fluency (is that a word?).

i want to go and free them from whatever hell i have power over.

it saddens me that with the resources of this country that we aren't extending that further to those countries that need it.

no human left behind.

i love you all. im learning your language. and i will find a way to help you.

promise.

it just might take me a little time to come up with the funds for that.

but i love you.

hold on, help is on the way...

calling a total B.s.

so.

i went to mcdonald's today to get food for a couple people in my wolfpack, who unfortunately and inconveniently are not raw foodists.

i then proceeded to go to the Produce Shop near my current home for some food for me.

i spent 7 dollars at Macs on 2 double cheeseburgers and 10 nuggets.

i then got groceries. (thats a lie i got the produce before and got mcdonald's after but for some reason i started this wrong and didn't feel like erasing it, rather i preferred to explain it afterthefact.

im glad i had my groceries because those nuggets smelled DIVINE.

i picked up a couple lbs of grapes, 4 lbs of strawberries, more peaches, cucumbers, more bananas and a few honey sticks.

i spent 19.00 on all that, that which will last me a few days.

essentially i spent 3x more money on about 8x more food.

therefore i again call your bs that its more expensive.

just sayin.

carry on with your day.

and for the love of god. eat healthier.

love love love love

i applied for a job today. weird phenomenon, seeing as how i havent been on the hunt for work in really over 7 years.

its strange. its like being single after being ina longterm relationship, something i also am recently familiar with. strangely, i was with my last employer longer than my last relationship. its odd.

im contemplating a rather large move. a rather rather large one.

we'll see.

on a seperate note, i set my spell check to Spanish on this new wonder that is Windows 7 and it says that a good 90 por cientos of my words are spelled wrong. with the exception of por cientos y otro palabras. :]

its fun.

okay. going back now. update soon.

gosh i love you.

The Devil wears Dolce and Gabbana...

i wonder if the person who thought up these sprinklers that shoot vertically... got the concept by accidentally sitting on a bidet..."

seriously. i LOVE this. it felt nice to pass a structure that you could tell had love and respect for Mother in it.

Mother Earth has treated us well. how hard is it to make shit out of shit that already existed?

don't get me wrong, it doesn't have to be THIS extreme, and you CAN be subtle about it. but i like the concept!

google it (i always do it for everything) and you will find so much CAN be recycled....so why isnt it?

all im saying is this.

dont get plastic bags, get paper...or a reusable one so you dont have to worry about being lazy later.

i have about 12 in my house in random places.

buy recycled! yes it may be .50c or 1$ more, but think of it this way, by doing so you support recycling and will be more likely to recycle in the future :]

recycle your things! or give them to a thrift store to reuse! recycling isnt just recycling. reusing allows someone to make use of your things. have toy exchange parties for your children, dont be afraid to give your belongings to someone else. i GUARANTEE someone needs your shit.

recycle. lets lower our waste. our output can be a greater contribution than what it is currently.

we are better :]

John Lennon

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't
just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on
by itself. You've got to keep on watering it. You've got to really look after
it and nurture it"
John Lennon

was i slash am i a beatles fan? not so much. short of singing one particular song for one particular person...

thats really about it.

but this is exactly what im talking about. combine this with;

Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.
John Lennon
(Imagine)

and suddenly i want to cuddle up in a rolling stone photoshoot with a naked john lennon in the fetal position.

the man had something in his noggin.

but i dont think people listened truly to what was on his mind when he said these things.

when we meet, John, we will have MUCH to talk about.

i love you, man.

(good movie by the way).

Produce Schmoduce. i call your bullShT

i'm sitting in a glorious little coffee shop aptly named the coffee house and drinking coffee, reading, writing, and pondering the meanings of life while Dont Stop Believing rings through the mediocre sound system.

thats a damn good song.

anyways, i call your bullshit.

i do.

because i said the same thing.

people claim that they dont eat healthier because its more expensive.

i used to agree until i realized...its not in addition to all the crap you're eating...its in place of it. and dont go to big conglomerate multimillion dollar stores because you pay for more than just the cost of fruit. also...shop IN SEASON. and you wont pay out the booty for it.

since i started eating raw, i realized you do end up shopping more than before, mainly because you cant buy 2 weeks of produce all the time :]

but i found this AMAZING little produce shop by my house, and its gorgeous selection i fell in love with.

in addition...i will have you know it was CHEAP.

i bought 3 kiwis, 3 oranges, a vine of tomatoes, ginormous red bell peppers, 5 HUGE granny apples, a "hand" of bananas, 2 lbs of strawberries, onions, a kaboodle of peaches. i mean a LOT of food. and i spent 17$. this is enough food for about a week for me along with what i have at home, which is relatively cheap. at a major grocery chain i likely would have spent 25-30$ or so.

this is why we support local growers. they have passion and most of the time they are growing all organic:]

my melons are better than these. but these are cheaper. im sorry but its inflation my friend. :]

Support your local farmers. dont pay for advertising and transportation. buy real. buy local :] i promise it tastes better also!
