SPONTENEITY

Earlier:

Me: zzzzzzzzzzzzz….
**phone rings**
D: Hey Ho, you wanna go to Florida this weekend?
Me: (still half asleep) Sure… Wait, what??

Now:
I have (roughly) three hours + class to finish all my work. And I have to get a swim suit. And clean the apartment. And pack. And figure out what just happened.

Later:
A tent somewhere on a beach in Florida. Not really sure where we’re going, but I do know its 70 degrees there. That’s the important part, right?

i know this question probably gets old...

itsamazing:

manditra:

but i’m wanting to follow some more people.

who are your favorites?

i’m looking for people who are insightful, or funny, or have good taste in music or art. i’m not looking to follow any tumblr celebrities or anyone too self involved.

any recs?

As you can see if you happen to click on my tumblr.. I’m “following” an over abundance of tumblrs..(for the simple fact that once I “like” a post.. I click follow and I have over 500+ likes.. so therefore I have close to 500 people that I’m following.. it helps for a nice over flowing dashboard of different posts and I’d much rather prefer to see that than about a dozen reblogs of the same post.

That being said.. I haven’t gotten to go through the majority of those tumblrs.. BUT.. I do have a couple favorites.

My buddy Muffadal is applying to be a caretaker for the islands of the Great Barrier Reef… and he needs our help. Just wach his video (only 60 seconds) and give him a five star rating if you think he deserves the job (which he totally does).

He’s one of the most inspiring people in my life, so please, please vote.

Cmon people, put up contact info

Or get Disqus or some dumb chat box (like me). Sometimes some things don’t require a reblog… and I’d rather email/IM you anyway. -__-;;

“So, if you haven’t had anything hibiscus-infused before, how I can I explain what it tastes like? Well, it’s not too floral or overly fragrant (like lavender or roses might be)… it’s not overly sweet… it’s a little earthy, but not stinky or dirty or peaty. It made me think of a late summer evening around 7:30, 8 o’clock… maybe the grass was cut that morning, so there’s a lingering fresh smell in the air…. and maybe it’s a little cool because late summer is easing into fall… and maybe it rained the day before, so everything feels alive and green… and maybe you picked or chopped fresh tomatoes earlier that evening so the smell is still on your hands ever so slightly… and maybe you have a planted pot or garden spot of thyme and tarragon and mint and parsley nearby… and maybe, just maybe, there’s a slight, warm wisp of a breeze, and you’re sitting on the front porch or on your balcony listening to the sounds of your neighborhood, and you hear laughter in the distance and it makes you smile. That’s what hibiscus tastes like.” — Carol Blymire of Alinea At Home tackles molecular gastronomy and that dreaded cookbook with the same ease that I make Cup Noodles.

Goldfrapp - A&E

As with almost everything in my life, I’m a year late to the Seventh Tree party. Doesn’t make this any less of an amazing song.

I’ve listened to this five times in a row, and each time my heart breaks a little more. How long until I stop caring?

“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.” —

I saw the xkcd guy speak last year. He’s really amazing.
