Listen to what a Sustainabila-buddy had to share today!

You've planted a seed in me and it is Springtime and that seed is germinating. On my way to school today I found two apples and three bananas in produce bags from the grocery store on the ground (Obviously dropped by some unlucky soul on their way home from the store). Long story short...good, free breakfast. a month ago I'd have walked on by thinking, "That's a shame, those looked just fine," but still left them. Today though, thanks to you, I'm not that person anymore. The fruit will not go to waste. Thank you!

Ate pizza and eggs this morning, then added a piece of chicken to the rice from yesterday and had ... well ... lunch. Later on I pulled up some more pizza, a ham sandwich, and some pita chips.

Lyrics to a song I wrote a while back.

Chasing My Tail

never grows old, chasing my own tail
never grows old, chasing my own tail
never grows old, chasing my own tail

you say it's your right to do as you please
you've earned your pay and deserve your keep
but a fool and his money soon go separate ways
consume, discard, throw our lives away
all in pursuit of the American dream

material prize caught the eye
so unhappy and don't know why
too many people wanting too many things
too much, now, of everything
i'm tired ... American dream

never grows old, chasing my own tail
never grows old, chasing my own tail
never grows old, chasing my own tail

slow to believe this tragedy
environmental issues facing me
greenhouse effect, ozone depletion
my way of living causing species extinction
all in pursuit of the American dream

tell me Silent Spring was just a tall tale
digging a hole for my children to fill
brewing a poison from a dangerous life
Closing the Circle for a piece of the pie
all in pursuit ...
i'm tired ...
gimme, gimme, gimme, the American ...
gimme, gimme, gimme, the American ...
gimme, gimme, gimme, the American dream

never grows old, chasing my own tail
sitting in this rocking chair, not going anywhere
digging for gold, fills the earth with holes
... chasing my own ...
... chasing my own ...
