This is how we do it

Misfits

Artist:  James Himber - check it. The work is who I am; there is no distance and everything is at stake. Otherwise, why do it? ***** “We''re all misfits here,” he says, almost proudly. “That's why I started this squat, after all.  For people like us, who don't fit in anywhere else.  Halfies and homos and hopeless romantics, the outcast and outrageous and terminally weird.  That's where art comes from, Jimmy, my friend.  From our weirdness-es and our differences, from our manic fixations, our obsessions, our passions.  From all those wild and wacky things that make each of us unique.”   Welcome to Bordertown

Ruby and a Lion

you were a lamp, a chandelier, or a sconce at the Wynn Encore   Hotel  in Las Vegas. Which one would you be? I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark. Muhammad Ali

West Loop Story

Below is a law office in Chicago' s booming West Loop.  A table, a rug and some spectacular original art = I need a Lawyer.  I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug , Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins. ”   Shel Silverstein

Boston marathon bombing.   My heart goes out to all affected by this tragic event. Boston via NY Times Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down, burn your own house down Try to kill your own disease And leave the rest of us, there's a lot of us, leave the rest of us Who wanna live in peace to live in peace NO BAD NEWS LYRICS/Patty Griffin   

Why yes, yes we do.

“ My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf . Koala bears are so cute, why do they have to be so far away from me. We need to ship a few over, so I can hold one, and pat it on its head. ” Unknown

Pork chop. You're out!

YUM! Pan fried t-bone chop from The Pioneer Woman. Check it.  Who knew the pork and beef industries needed a change. A name change that is. They will rename more than 350 meat cuts. The newly named cuts will be in a grocery store near you this summer.   Expect names that offer more detail about the type of meat you’re buying. The name “pork chop,” for example, improperly describes a number of different cuts, according to the National Pork Board’s Patrick Fleming.    Different types of pork chops will now have steak names like New York chops, rib-eye chops, and T-bone chops.  Beef loin top sirloin cubes are now kabobs.   Pork butt, an unfortunate name that has nothing to do with a pig's butt (it comes from a pig's shoulder), is now a Boston roast.   And a boneless shoulder top blade beef steak is now a flatiron steak.   No upgrade in the name for ground beef. It's still just ground beef.

It's a beautiful thing

Another day at the office

entrepreneur Definition › someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves seeing a new opportunity:  She'll make money - she's got that entrepreneurial spirit .      A little bit of this, a little bit of that and BOOM an entrepreneur's first office.   I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.
