Wish I could shut my playboy mouth.
This is how I feel about raisins.

Quote for Tony Bourdain:

“I have long believed that it is only right and appropriate that before one sleeps with someone, one should be able — if called upon to do so — to make them a proper omelet in the morning.”

I marked up a page from “Henry Brulard”. An all-purpose excuse of sorts-a takeaway: “I don’t know what I am: kind, unkind, clever, stupid. What I know beyond question are the things that give me pain or pleasure, that I wish for or that I hate.

…like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been through and what’s happened.

In the end you’re happy you were there - with your eyes open- and lived to see it.

I work to eat and drink and sleep just to live,
Feels like I’m never getting back what i give.
I’ve got a sad song in my sweet heart.
And all I really ever need is some love and attention .

Plans for the Green Home

I’m always happy to see a new green building project in my neck of the woods. I’m also using this tumblr account as a repository for stuff I want to come back to and there’s definitely a story here.

This home is obviously the creme de la creme of green homes with a matching pricetag (1.75 mill - not exactly the best way to popularize green building) - a Liveroof green roof, rainwater cisterns, and photovoltaics are just a few of the home’s many assets. But there are lessons to be learned here and easy upgrades that we can all make that may cost more upfront, but will, ultimately, put money back in our wallets.

This is exactly how we should be approaching green building. Naturally, we can’t all build or rebuild million dollar homes but there are common elements we can easily incorporate into building plans.

Yes, please.
But it’s more than just the body (har, har) - the man is like a fine wine - dry and biting, with complementary sweet notes.
He’s the chef I’d like to be, the type of writer I admire, and the bad boy I want to get with.

Working out which panels I’d like to go to, which would be best for the company, and which would most benefit a career in the field.
