CHORES & BORES

2452206130_6e2955fdff

       Bills, laundry, dishes, junk mail even, it never ends, continuous cycles we must commit ourselves to over and over again. All the while trying to find ways to be ourselves and shine through the mundane redundancy of daily life. Routines and familiar ways start to become jaded, tainted with the tedious aroma of "here we go again." Sometimes I just don't want to force myself to deal with these things, the boring intricacies of life, but if I don't, who else will? This is what comes with growing up. This is adulthood. (insert dundundun here).

      Lessons learned become the way of direction around here. We deal with these things because we have to. They are our right of passage to our freedom. Though I believe true freedom would entail no attachment to material items and the bills we have to pay to keep them. Freedom from relying on others, our parents? Yes. We become our own through these annoying little responsibilities. Good enough for me. I'll take independence over dependency any day.

Hey Mae, Saw your question about green blogs on Twitter and twitter is being mean to me so I can't reply to you there.
I found a couple of green blogs yesterday that you might be interested in:

SuperCute! A craft/artistic blog geared towards making things greener and making artwork greener.

Tree Hugger (Found a LOT of useful resources here for future things I have planned)

Green Daily (Haven't looked through this much)

Green Options (Found a few more useful resources in here)

HELLO

  • Silly Madness

    BLOG!
    A quest to document
    life as it unfolds,
    as it is, whether
    it's the progress
    of creative work or
    trying to make sense
    of a potentially never
    ending 1/4-life crisis.

    It's what I call,
    silly madness,
    and it's happening
    right now.
