Hey Readers,
HAPPY EARTH DAY!!
HAPPY EARTH DAY!!
Yes, in case you did not know, it is Earth Day… a real holiday…in which we celebrate
the Earth…oh goodness!!
All day I have been doing things “Because it is Earth
day”…Nothing really in the spirit of the Earth but literally using Earth Day as an excuse for my actions…
Took a Picture on Snap Chat…Cause it is Earth Day!
Drank that Glass of unknown liquid…Cause it is Earth Day!
Wore Gym Shorts to Work…Cause it is Earth Day!
Took a 3 Hour Nap... Cause it is Earth Day
Made bad Decisions and Acted accordingly…Cause it is Earth
Day!
Anyway…Earth Day…the one day we are supposed to be excited
about protecting the earth…
For the 24 hours of Earth Day, the media will assault us
with tales of imminent disaster that always accompany the annual Earth Day Doom
& Gloom Extravaganza.
Ignore them. They’ll be wrong. We should be confident because they have always been wrong and hopefully always will be…at least in
my opinion! (which we know is usually wrong!)

| You want to save the world...listen to the Captain! |
Captain Planet taught me the importance of treating the world with respect! It is true...I still have a power ring to prove that at one point...I was a Planeteer! For those who were not around between 1990 and 1996, the
basic plot of Captain Planet was: 5 bad ass teenagers wore special rings that
granted them “the powers of the earth”, one of them was a communist, all major racial
groups were represented, and one kid had the worst power possible which was the
ability to show bad guys the error of their ways aka the “Heart Power”. When
they felt overwhelmed they combined their powers and summoned “Earth’s
greatest champion” Captain Planet! Together they fought pollution and helped
out “Gaia/Mother Nature” keep the earth intact and balanced! It was truly an awesome show! However, instead you will see that really sad commercial with the Drowning Polar Bears (you know the
one that comes on after the starving children commercial and before the abused
animal commercial...they make my nervous)!

Here is what is confusing, every day should be Earth Day! Ok,
I guess today is the day we officially try and teach ourselves the way to
promote environmentalism. But, who the hell are we kidding…our goal is not to “save
the Earth” but rather to keep it somewhat livable for humans, animals, and
plant life. The earth doesn't really need the saving…We do.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!...that was overtly deep…
So let’s clear things up. Earth Day/Week/Forever has
nothing to do with the earth or saving it. It has to do with us
humans. They should call it People Day/Week. No one is altruistically
concerned with the earth…if we were we would never drive, wear clothes, or do
anything really (Nude Recreation Week to the MAX!). Yet, what we’re concerned
with is whether or not the earth can put up with our crap anymore. It is our
hope that by recycling it here on Earth Day 2013, the world will not royally
screw us over until Earth Day 2014.
Anyway, I am just as green as green can be (HA!, lie)…I am
green enough to know that I should recycle all my empty wine bottles… Here at
the Torre house we compost, garden and “reduce, reuse and recycle”…we try, we
fail, but we still try!!!
OK, new topic!
The power of Eyebrows part 1…WOAH!! RANDOM!!!
This has been on my mind since yesterday when I saw this
Image on Facebook…get ready for cuteness everyone:
Everyone I introduce you to Finnegan...my friends new puppy!
Ok the formal introduction is over, look at him carefully…look at that steely gaze, that
steely puppy gaze… look…
Now look at him again!
LOOK AT THE POWER OF THE EYEBROW!!
I have incredibly large eyebrows…I know it…I see them…if I
squint I can block out the world around me. However, I freaking love the power
they give me…especially being that I qualify them as “murderer eyebrows” (huh?!)…but
I will explain that phrasing in another post (perhaps: The Power of Eyebrows part 2)!
