ripped from my friends FB page, but I had to pass this along.

Just couldn’t handle it.  peace.

and i’m about 40, ok…. cool.  I can rock that number.  I have not really been behind many of my birthdays. but I”m pretty sure this one will be pretty dope.  I’m talking release of doves and shit.  Just walked around beautiful Humboldt Park, I just love this spot.   One can forget they are in the city here.  Bit of info for the day, I forgot the exact address, but I was walking down Sacramento, (outer sac) just south of Division, and I roll up on one of those Chicago Park District Historical signs.  This one was in from of a really average gray stone building that was a former house of Jens Jensen.  Cool!  It read that he lived there while he was in the process of being a Chicago Park District street sweeper that was rising to the top of the Landscape Design dept .  Nice story, and in my hood.  He was one hell of a Danish designer.  Thanks Jens.

The song playing in my dream as I woke this morning-Broken Arrow, Neil Young.  Rock it.

Go Banksy, Atmosphere… well, alright.

Woke up with Ice Cube in the brain, and well, even with the day just starting, i’m declaring that “Today was a good day”  The Lakers won’t beat the Supersonics because the Sonics are not the Thunder, only a couple of you will even know what this means, i’m not trying to be cheeky though.  Star Lounge coffee is coursing, so much so that I might just head to work a couple hours early.  Gotta get this manic shit out of my system.  Had a “get a car” feeling over the last couple days, until I saw an interview with this fella who wrote a book call Carless, or something like that.  (no real facts here) Point is, I feel better about getting on my bike and heading off into my day, if someone thinks I have no game because I can’t pick them up for dinner, well… this might not be the kind of person I”m shooting for.  Wait, i’m shooting for someone?  I’m not, that shit just happens, I think.  Every since a moment in Amsterdam, I have had this feeling my life mate type person will ride up to me at an intersection, front basket full of organic gardening booty.  Yeah, whats that?  Just a thought, much like butterflies are some kind of ancient space ships, a thought.  North Gym Dreamers.  Band name of the moment, purely inspired by Mr. Forester and Mr. Schuster, my favorite P.E. teachers from Edison Middle School.

Go Comets!

“Its important to me, that you know you are free”  Can’t really front on that.

Or something like that, no actually, they are getting down.  Shake your groove thing indeed.

This years lineup… oh wait, I have no idea whose playing, or what kind of jeans I should be wearing. Damn.

What the fuck, another weekend… like this… again.  I”m not feeling this, the heat is fine, the iced coffee helps, as does a nice light lunch and dinner.  Time to travel, and no time to travel, get it?  Who does, i’m too scattered to actually pen something smart and fun.  So looks like thats it.  damn… that was kinda pointless.

It is pretty.

This is just a rendering by Lettuce design, they have a nice funky web page layout, Lettuce Loves Design You can often see a building taken by ivy here in Chicago, but never in such a clean way.  Go plants, thought ivy will mess your place up in the long run.

That was perfect.
Colberts report on plants, put the philo in the can. A philodendron Brazil I think. It was an image that disturbed. But he then said, ” try to make chlorophyll now motherfucker ” more wrong than funny, just because the planet is actually under attack. So many wrong moves humanity is makin. But that jerk, as well as chi town juke, are good moves by people, though all dancing, and or movement is really. Churckle!

The summer of the egg salad and fresh spinach wrap has been nice.  There have been a few more Spinach containers around my place lately.  I thought I would convert the empty container and lid into a planter.  It has a nice thick rectangular shape, and the lid fits nicely underneath, acting as a perfect saucer.

Step one, eat spinach.

Step two, poke nice 1/4″ -1/2″ holes at the bottom.  I made 8 holes.

Step three, add drainage material, I went with pea gravel.

Step four, add potting mix and plants.

I went with two Fitonia starts that I had on my back porch and an Asparagus Fern that I brought home few weeks ago.  After potting the three plants, I put some harvested mood moss around the top and between the plants to help preserve moisture, and to provide an extra lush look.  Boom goes the re-use!  All those plastic to go iced  coffee cups might be next.  That is the beauty of this, any container can be use in this manner.  Happy Planting.

I like the jersey color of the Netherlands, I like my few Spanish friends.  I view Spain as more of a down as country than the Holland.  But I have never been in Spain, not yet that is.  So I will go with the Netherlands.  For the eel, the smoked fish, bomb ass weed, Van Gogh, Canals, the Zoo, and well, other fuzzy stuffs.  So, time to get off the computer, and peep the second half, the Life and Times at West Fest.

Go Clockwork Orange!
