smmmm..ART

Art is such an interesting thing.
to have an idea.
as random as it may be...
or not.
it is a vision.
and you created it
you make an idea, a thought, come true
to fruition and make it real!
real, into something you can see or hear or touch
and feel
is it not like magic?
i find it amazing

bambooozle

okay more bamboo stuff. what can't you make out of bamboo?
I have a t shirt made out of bamboo, i have a skateboard made of bamboo... and well i guess there's a hell of a lot more things you can make out of this resilient plant.
according to Wikipedia it is the fastest growing plant on this earth!
also when treated, bamboo forms to a very hard wood which is both lightweight and exceptionally durable.
bamboo is also used in chinese medicines to treat infections, it's a low calorie source of potassium, apparently a sweet wine is made from the young stalks tapped in rainy season, pickled bamboo is used as a condiment, but although many are edible, there is a Giant bamboo that contains cyanide!
Anyhoo... bamboo.
who knew?

Chop chop sticking

So in the past few years i had started bringing my own chopsticks whenever i go out for sushi. some friends shake their heads like i'm some nerd. but really, and seriously...
In China alone, 45 BILLION chopsticks are thrown out a year! 25 million trees are destroyed!! Would you not find it strange if you went out to a nice restaurant and for cutlery, you would get disposable plastic fork and knife? So why is it ok with chopsticks?
Seriously.
