I Get By on a Little Help From My Friends
Sometimes all it takes is a little quality time with someone who you know would do the same for you. A human auction and this pic also help immensely.

THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY NEW THINGS - YOU COULD LOSE 1 MILLION BUCKS
I have no sympathy for you. Okay, maybe a little. Seems kind of dirty and annoying to look for stuff in a dump. But anyways, serves you right.
Well, this is a modern-day Aesop’s fable if my bloodshot eyes ever saw one. Annat, a well-meaning Israeli lady decided to throw out her mom’s old mattress and get her a new one. Little did she know that the old one had her mom’s life savings of about 1 MEELLION dollars stuffed inside of it.
Moral of the story: Use the things you have, man! I’ve been sleeping on the same mattress for almost 20 years now and my bed is an old bookcase that my dad bought at an antiques auction for like $30. I feel wonderful except for a few excruciating back spasms now and then.

I AM A CHANGED WOMAN
Traveling is usually seen as an eye-opening experience, but I am now more confused than ever. While I was away and not really able to work on Swyyne, I thought a lot about what my little teeny tiny 140 lb. life (I added 6 lbs. for my “soul”) is doing here - a mental query which led me to a dark and unresolved place. Sort of like the version of hell depicted in 90s Robin Williams film “What Dreams May Come.”
I do know that the more that I try to push my family and friends towards being a bit more conscious of how our actions and purchases effect the earth, the more they hate me. It’s not a good feeling. What’s more, it doesn’t even seem to be making a difference, and I am discouraged.

FOOD INC.: IT’S A MOVIE ABOUT FOOD

I woke up extra hungry this morning, and what did I see in my inbox? An invite to see FOOD, Inc.
As you all know, I’ve been having issues about what I eat - mainly not being such a food-whore and eating everything that lay in my path indiscriminately - so this should be good for me.
Peep the trailer —>
