Why did the farmer bury all his money? -- to make his soil rich

My day has just been made. Check out these awesome awful jokes. You know you want to. 

all things lovely

I want to try making my own fingerpaint sometime.

And huaraches.

Coffee air freshener?

This is pretty.

You are beautiful

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to embed the following video. Check out Incisors by Jim Huscher. FUCKING AMAZING. I hope there's a way to access the whole piece once the voting is finished. This has become one of my absolute favorite poems <3

Edit: I just watched Red Light by William Evans. That one is amazing too.

Edit.2: I just learned how to embed from Podslam:

Things I want to make (when I have ingredients/time)

Decorations/Aesthetics

•  A toothbrush bracelet. It would have to be for someone else, like Kaity, because I can't handle wearing bracelets. I think it's awesome though and would love making one.
• On learning about making wooden pendants, I learned that a couple coats of VERY strong coffee works as natural stain. 
• Paper beads. I'm so excited! I have a giant bag full of paper I've been needing to shred and recycle, but this is a much better (and fun) alternative.
• A delicious smelling clove necklace.
• Doodle pendants! They are made from #6 plastic. I wonder if "recycling" it for pendants is worse than actually recycling them.
• Although this is for greeting cards, I would recycle old audio tapes by applying to a canvas on my wall.

 Household/School

• The bucket lamp, although I would want to paint (with some sort of sheer silver or gold/tan) designs on the bucket first.
• Plastic paper clips from recycled cards.
•  Adjusted liquid soap dispenser to lessen waste.
• Useful things like deodorant and shampoo. Woot. 
• Yoga mat from an old sweater.

Edible

• Grow my own wheatgrass and Chinese cabbages (in PVC piping) indoors.
• Almond milk.

I should get off Instructables.com and the internet. Maybe I'll borrow Kaity's hula hoop and try to create rings around my body. That sounds like fun.

Humanity

The sun shines down,
and its image reflects a thousand
different pots filled with water.

The reflections are many,
but they are each reflecting the same sun.

Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are,
we will see ourselves in all people.

I found this on the website World Prayers, which my friend Kelly shared with me. I have a feeling I'll be posting much of what I find on their pages.
