MAKE YOURSELF

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.
If I hadn't assembled myself, I would've fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up but that's more than I can allow.

If you let them take you, they'll make you paper-mache
At a distance you're strong, until the winds comes
Then you'll crumble and blow away.

You should make amends with you, if only for better health
But if you really want to live, why not try, and make yourself?

I hear you, Brandon Boyd. I hear you.

It’s just hard for to make a decision right now.
Let me breathe for a second here.

On Coming Together & Everyday Wins~

Some -if not most- of our mornings are consumed by thinking of ways on how to go about the coming day that is already full even before we went to bed the night before.

Paper Fanboys!

I was able to catch FANBOYS on Star Movies the other night after a long day at work. Today, this came up on my news feed:


The Force is strong with this one. An artist named Eric Power has created a unique version of the "Star Wars" trilogy using paper animation. To paraphrase a certain green Jedi master, "Awesome it is!" -Yahoo Movies


There's no other cooler (geekier) way to end this *insert superlatives* tiring work week! Look at the screen shots:

Oh yeahhh look at the cool paper wings on those X-Wings! Dayuuuum

Weekend Wackness : Capsule Dinos!

As you may have noticed (or not), one of the items in my previous illustration is of a swimming dinosaur inside a shot glass.
Wouldn't it be a better place if we had miniature dinosaurs that fit shot glasses?

What I would do to make these babies real even just for an hour~

Forget about those cute micro pigs, adorable teacup puppies and squish-worthy toy dogs.
Say hello to SHOT GLASS DINOS!

A Thumbelina Triceratops!

A Tom Thumb T-Rex (Did you just read Tom as Thom?)

And even a Tinker Velociraptor! (Saw what I did there? Hahaha)

Oh hey, some bad photoshoppping on my end! Haha

Since dinosaurs are like...uhmmm... extinct, my brothers and I bought something close to that: We bought foam dinosaurs in capsules!

All you have to do with the capsules is soak them in hot water and watch them grow (or force them to "grow" by poking the capsule with a toothpick...or a ball point pen if you wish).

Aside from the possible brain damage caused by the ridiculous smell of the melting plastic capsules, the foam dinosaurs turned out okay.

The Capsule Animals Set includes 12 capsules in 4 colors. The set sells for about $1.
WHAT A STEAL, I say, what a steal!

The green one is a Triceratops, the yellow one a Diplodocus, the blue one an Oviraptor, the red one a Utahraptor

One of my favorites is the herbivore dino, the Diplodocus.
She's that yellow one in the center.
It looks so happy and dinosaur-y. Y/y?
I'm naming him Yellow Foam Happy Diplodocus Dinosaur or YFHDD for short.

So anyway, while you absorb the concept of real live shot glass dinos, I'm off to naming all these foam dinos and maybe change YFHDD's name. It may be too long. He might not remember it when I call for him.

Very Cherry Jelly Belly Beans,

"Seems to be, that being in the middle is starting to get me in trouble
Try to run away, but they have a talent for making trouble seem enjoyable
Oh the more I try to separate, the better it feels to get right in the way
Should I douse the spark or fan the flames
Or merely think of clever things to say?"
