Had me laughing. ;)

Creativity astounds me at times.

Turning waste into building blocks of the future city

heard a few of these ideas already..but it makes me think of places that don’t seem to have a strong recycling/waste to energy infrastructure already… <sigh> it would be nice to not see trash pile up and for us to be more like the concept of the native indians of ‘ol where they used EVERYTHING even from a kill… so that nothing was ever wasted.. 

"Here we equate the performance impairment caused by fatigue with that due to alcohol intoxication, and show that moderate levels of fatigue produce higher levels of impairment than the proscribed level of alcohol intoxication."

Take it from the scientists: Not getting proper sleep is akin to walking around drunk. Learn what actually happens while you sleep and why it matters,  the essential science of your internal clock, and how dreams mediate negative emotions.

As a wise woman once wrote, “sleep is the best (and easiest) creative aphrodisiac.”

A conversation about Mindy's love life:

Danny: Was he a man?
Mindy: What do you mean? Yeah, of course he was a man.
Danny: No, I mean, like, was he a man?
Mindy: Danny, don’t just repeat it and expect me to understand what you’re saying.
Danny: Was this the kinda guy who, if he heard glass breaking in the middle of the night, is he gonna jump out of bed, say, “stay here,” and look through the house naked with a baseball bat, or is he gonna hide under the covers with you? Is this the kinda guy who is gonna get grossed out when you give birth, or is he gonna dry your forehead and tell you you look beautiful while all that disgusting stuff is coming out of you? Is this the kinda guy that’s not afraid to get into a fistfight at a Springsteen show because someone really disrespects him? And he’ll just put it out… And he’ll take ‘em down right there, right now?
Mindy: You’re just talking about yourself.

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."

Elizabeth Gilbert

"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to [their] ideals."

Robert F. Kennedy via values.com

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has."

Margaret Mead; cultural  anthropologist via values.com

For when I forget that I can be a part of making a difference. 

"I have learned to live my life one step, one breath, and one moment at a time, but it was a long road. I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. I am still learning."
