I signed up for the Organic Box food delivery! Convenient & sustainable?

None of us are perfect, we can’t all afford to live the way we want and do what we want. What we can do is our best to be as satisfied as possible that we do good when we’re able to. I have been increasing my healthy food intake lately and got sick and tired [...]

So I got into the candy last night……

I’m seeing someone, and she left her candy in one of my shopping bags after we went to a movie. Then reminded me of it… I avoid candy for the most part because it can have a particularly “energizing” effect on me. Especially the really bright colourful kinds.

Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Playing with my kitty at night in the dark = playing for keeps!

I just had to share this… writing it up gives me something to do while applying the polysporin. Here is my little beastie.. Mz. Meowz the F2 Savannah cat.

ADHDepression What do you do when it’s all upside down?

I feel bad that I haven’t kept up my unofficial 2 post per week schedule despite some pretty awesome subjects coming up in my life.

It’s not easy being green! Wait… am I actually? Maybe I need an eco reality check.

I feel a little guilty. I have caught myself slipping on some of the smaller everyday environmentally friendly habits I’ve formed. It made me look harder at my overall footprint and realize that maybe I haven’t maintained quite as healthy of a lifestyle as I’d intended. It’s not easy being green (Awesome indie music version) [...]

Nerdy skinny enviro guy @ Soldiers of Fitness update #2. Soldiers Test!

I’m now in week three and soldiers of fitness is treating me pretty well. I am by no means an overly fit individual with the exception of being very UN FAT. I’m thin and lean, too thin in fact. I have some asthma and am a little underpowered for my size. That’s all over now. [...]
