Snowzilla's Friends

Today: Human Child Found In High School Food Donation Bin; Passersby Consider Culinary Pairings with Peanut-Butter and Jelly.

well, details forthcoming on that one.

My friend Snowzilla wanted me to pass this video along. OMG, as they say.




Here's the original version: the commentary in the above video doesn't actually follow the language of what they actually say.

Merry X-mas and Happy New Deal

Resolved:

This house is our house.

I admit that some part of me is still scared as ever it once most was. I'll even admit that I wish I could lie and say I need changes in my life, but just a bit more here and there. Really, I know with the few important things that a bit more is good, but won't do for long (relatively speaking of course). But, fact is that I can't behold the future me as progress if I drag all the heaviest chains with me as I go there.

There will always be one or two killer things that we need help making good choices on. Similarly, there will always be a few sacred places that we're on the verge of finding. In other words, there will always be a few things to stay away from and a few things to run towards.

I'll dare to endeavor and better whatever those things are every day. Meanwhile, to become that superhero I've always dreamed, I'll not let life's attempts to fasten my joy to smaller and smaller things get me down. I'll know if I've succeeded if I ever become drowned in those fears and various giant sorrows and still manage to pull myself up to do good for myself and humankind, Earthkind - even if it's just when it matters the most.

After all, pain and pleasure aren't intrinsic to the omniverse - they're relative to how we learn about them and how we re-perceive them every day. Knowing this, I recommend seeking the humility to enjoy the finer things more and more (the really rich things that get better with age and build our health to greater and greater carrying capacities). Doing this of course, is much easier if you're verily open to new ideas; practice that.
