Greener Thumbs

Before (2005)

After (Now)

I realized today that I have a total of 9 successful houseplants, which is a lot but not a whole lot since the majority of them are pretty small. I have lost only 1 other plant in the last year or so, due to a complete lack of understanding of what it needed. After trying varying levels of water and light it dried up and died anyway, but I figure 9 out of 10 is pretty good.

I get all of these plants from a store down the street. They always give me a tip or two when I get a plant from them, and gave me some potting soil for free when I needed it which was pretty sweet.

A Good Thing About Today

Today is the day in my neighborhood when burly men can hug each other in the street outside the bar and do that manly hug that is all embracing, with lots hard pats on the back without looking around and feeling embarrassed.

I think its a better reminder than having to watch all of the news shows with the same footage and same stories fake being empathetic so they can all pat themselves on the back for the Best 10 o'clock 9/11 Retrospective News Special Feature anyway.
