Hilarious and just for fun
wow. absolutely hilarious photos my Dad just forwarded me. had to share... (i've sorta done some of this stuff, at least with ladders on top of scaffolding cutting holes in a 24' ceiling at the Abbey. :-)
--------------------
Why Men Don't Live As Long As Women
Standing on a bucket on TOP of a ladder, brilliant.
That CAN'T be right..
Ummmm?.at least someone's holding the ladder steady
Isn't this a violation of the seatbelt laws?
Shouldn't he be wearing a lifejacket?
Wonder what HE makes an hour? It can't be enough.
Who needs a truck?
Oh yeah, THAT's safe!
HMMM, maybe he couldn't see the huge yellow sign that said CLEARANCE..
Hey, I strapped it down.
Hey, he has a special license to drive that truck.
No problem, I can see through the holes.
It starts at a young age and just gets worse.
You hold it while I whack it with this hammer.
A new OSHA approved substitute for ladders.
Ropes are for sissies.
All I wanna know is, HOW?
Now I wanna know why

Iron Jawed Angels: another brilliant & moving film
you absolutely must rent this. beautiful cinematography, soundtrack, and a very inspiring and timeless message. i think the new Abolitionist Movement could take a cue from this film!

Is it ok to give?
So you've probably seen a lot of nonprofits lately asking for you to give gifts this year that support the poor. I'm all for this. But I think it's also still totally fine to give a normal gift to loved ones! The point of 'enlightened sustainable giving' and stopping rampant consumerism is to help ourselves and others live better lives.
But let's face it, that doesn't work if you cut out the joy in your own life (or friends/family) and the next year say "screw that, I'm going to buy tons of stuff now cause last year I deprived myself". ya know?
so do both... don't go crazy on either side, and I think you'll find this could become a more sustainable habit, not just a one time gimmick.
Here's one a friend is involved in,
Agros International

amazing cellist from Slovakia here OCT 26
Jozef Luptak is playing an intimate cello/voice concert in the Great Hall at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center on Sunday October 26th.
His performance last year literally brought tears to my eyes. I met Jozef at an arts conference and saw him perform in a concert hall with a small audience. It was really amazing. He not only plays wonderfully with just cell, but on some songs he also does this haunting singing style and clicking (reminds me of Sigur Ros a bit actually) WHILE PLAYING! Very interesting.
