Life Teaches Lessons

There's only so many words that i can use to describe Chad. He was an and will always be an amazing person. Recently he has passed on into another part of life's cycle. I will never forget the lessons and inspiration that he has taught me. He has been and will always be remembered for his positive attitude and amazing friendship. You never fully realize what you have until it's gone, and the world has lost a phenomenal man. He will be remembered through his friends, family, and husband Vince. I met Vince years and years back when I lived in the East Bay. I soon after, met Chad. Both have given me such wonderful support, life lessons, and great times. True lovers of life, and the extent for which they both act within the community is down right outstanding! I love them both dearly, and Chad, you will sincerely be missed, but not ever forgotten.

Do You Really Need That?!

I was recently noticing how much 'crap' we go through daily, how many things we hoard thinking that we may use it some day soon... when you know down right that you haven't touched it in 6 months, or even remembered you had it until you stumbled upon it yesterday (hey, I'm guilty). It's time to clean things up, reuse, and really recycle those things we can, that we know could be put to better use. Which brings me to this link for a video I found. Now I don't check this website out as much as I should, or like to. But when I get the chance, I always stumble across things I really like, and thus want to share with others. This time it was something for the youth of our world actually (don't make the noise when something sounds cheesy, because I know you did when you read that last sentence).

Nothing overly glamourous, polished, or stylized. However, the message, and inspiring nature of a form of recycling through design materials into a solid learning tool was phenomenal. Please take a moment to check out the link for the video. Share what you think, and then take something you can get rid of, and recycle it in a new way. I dare you...

"Viva La Vulva!"

It's got a word, that based on past posts, you'd probably never hear come out of my mouth, let alone have my fingers type on a keyboard (without feeling filthy). Yet, a couple of friends recently introduced me to a show from FX that, as most things seem to be lately, I'm the last one on planet Earth to hear about it. None the less, I want to encourage anyone who is unaware that this show exists, to check it out. It's almost like The Office, yet it revolves around one of my favorite places... a bar. It's crude, and pushes the limits of socially accepted boundaries, which I can more than appreciate. If you haven't checked it out, do so. You're missing out. And I would hate for anyone else to be in the same boat that I was.
