I like to write things down. I like pretty pictures. Sometimes I end up being funny, but ONLY when I don't try. Otherwise I end up being the only one laughing.

Welp…

Another year passes, and I am another year older. Some days I feel like I’m 65. Other days, I feel like I’m still in junior high. It’s been a whirlwind of a year. Many, many ups and downs. One thing that I HAVE learned however, is that I am a strong woman, capable of taking whatever life throws at me and conquering it. My friends and family have been a source of reassurance and strength, and I wouldn’t be who I am without them. For that I thank them. I know I’m not the easiest person to deal with sometimes. I’m very emotional, and sensitive- although I try my hardest to avoid drama. But my closest have been there through thick and thin, so I am one lucky lady to be able to say that I am loved by many. One thing I have yet to learn, is not to take anything or anyone for granted and enjoy, savor, and appreciate every moment. You only live once. And you are only 22 once. So make the best of every situation, and that is all anyone can ask of you.

I'm a funny SOB!

  • Facebook friend: Male Lions: They can barely hunt, they don't help raise their young and when they do impregnate a female, they leave and find new females and start the cycle over again. As a man, I'd rather be called a Chicken or an Ass before being called a Lion. Lion's belong on Maury.
  • Me: =D double like
  • Facebook friend: Yet, not even a single like given :(
  • Me: yeah because i can't do it twice! and, what do you get paid per like or some shit? lol jk
  • Facebook friend: Oh man. You just thought of the best stay at home job ever. Getting paid for likes.
  • Me: bahaha its called getting a youtube channel and being paid per subscriber breh!

Tasks for tomorrow…

1. Go to my dermatologist appointment and hope to the universe that he has a miracle treatment that doesn’t rhyme with mackutane.

2. Go to the gym for as long as my little muscles desire. Time is not an issue.

3. Relax?

4. Go out?

5. Party?

My evening plans have yet to be determined; however, I’m sure that what ever I do will be THOOPER AWETHOME!

thewaywardwinds: Toronto becomes first city to mandate green roofs Toronto is the first city in North America with a bylaw that requires roofs to be green. And we’re not talking about paint. A green roof, also known as a living roof, uses various hardy plants to create a barrier between the sun’s rays and the tiles or shingles of the roof. The plants love the sun, and the building (and its inhabitants) enjoy more comfortable indoor temperatures as a result. Toronto’s new legislation will require all residential, commercial and institutional buildings over 2,000 square meters to have between 20 and 60 percent living roofs. Although it’s been in place since early 2010, the bylaw will apply to new industrial development as of April 30, 2012. While this is the first city-wide mandate involving green roofs, Toronto’s decision follows in the footsteps of other cities, like Chicago and New York. Under the direction of Mayor Richard Daley the city of Chicago put a 38,800 square foot green roof on a 12 story skyscraper in 2000. Twelve years later, that building now saves $5000 annually on utility bills, and Chicago boasts 7 million square feet of green roof space. New York has followed suit, and since planting a green roof on the Con Edison Learning Centre in Queens, the buildings managers have seen a 34 percent reduction of heat loss in winter, and reduced summer heat gain by 84 percent. But lower utility bills aren’t the only benefit of planting a living roof. In addition to cooling down the city, green roofs create cleaner air, cleaner water, and provide a peaceful oasis for people, birds and insects in an otherwise polluted, concrete and asphalt-covered environment. Okay guys. It’s time Calgary gets on board with this initiative. I think it’s a fabulous idea!
