awake and alive

Tomorrow will be the beginning of a great weekend.  I need some good relaxing time.

So, I don’t know if this is normal or not, but there’s been alot of “small” (heck if I know what the numbers mean) earthquakes in California in the last couple of days. There have been 15 so far today (unless I’m reading this thing wrong).

I touched a live squirrel today while on the MSU campus.  It was in front of the engineering building, and one of it’s back legs was hurt so it was just laying on the sidewalk with it’s tail by it’s side.  It was kinda tiny, so it was super cute.

A guy from the MSU landscaping or something came by on a golf cart dealy and boxed him up to take to the small animal clinic.

My life is complete now.

Browsing my feeds I found this nice little quote from Lifehacker:

Cast the vision. Oftentimes people don’t do what we want, because we have not investe the time to paint the vision. In my experience, people want a challenge. They want to do something significant. They are eager to help. But no one has given them a compelling vision of a new reality. If you consider yourself a leader, this is your job.

Good stuff.

…that there is a giant hole in Russia?

So, this morning I went to get a bowl of cereal. Kristie had done the grocery shopping by herself yesterday because we were practically out of food, so I knew there would be some new boxes of cereal awaiting me atop the fridge.

This is what I find. I can’t help but think “why did she buy this cereal?” Is it because the picture of the food looked so tempting? Or maybe she was thinking that I act childish sometimes so maybe I would like kids food… Or maybe she’s trying to tell me something….

I still haven’t decided.

this is seriously amazing!

I found this interesting news post on digg today. What are they thinking?

…a few days can make.

To be bipolar towards the outside is a regular occurrence in this state.

Don’t get me wrong; I am mostly content where I’m at. It has begun to annoy me when people bash the state/city that they live in. If you are going to move soon I will celebrate and be excited with you about the new climate/stuff to do/night life/etc. of where you are moving, but if you are staying where you’re at then find the good stuff and rave about it.

I’m not going to pretend that I love the experiences of Michigan or Lansing more than the experiences I’ve had in other cities/states/countries, but it does no one any good to whine about the weather or that there’s nothing cool to do around town (even though if they would stop whining they would find plenty of fun things to do around them).

Yes, my last post was similar, if not equal, to whining; I am no saint in this matter. So, help me out; tell me the cool stuff you’ve found around Lansing…

Like:

• Old Town
• The river walk
• Tavern on the Square
• Lansing City Market
• Downtown Mason Farmer’s Market

UPDATE:

•  Deluca’a Pizza

…not april snow showers.

Eff the outside, that’s what I say!
