Earth's Got Global Warming Under Control (kind of)


Wait, global warming is fixing itself? Awesome. Does this mean i can stop buying expensive green stuff? I doubt it (come on, we know consumerism's got us by the balls). But it may mean that we're not as screwed. I have a feeling science will forever be just a fraction of a step behind mother earth's secret plan. Advertising was only a year or two late (depending on what we consider the official public 'outing' of GW...Gore's Truth?) and since then we've seen more than enough proof of the marketing world's cute little catch-up game (Exxon-Mobile cares about trees/animals? bitch, please). How's society coping? Unfortunately die-hard ignorance forces some peeps decades behind, despite the progress made by others. But now that's kind of okay. Prior to this super-convenient algae discovery we didn't think we had years to spare in the climate change battle to convince everybody how screwed we were/are. Now, maybe we do.
So, contrary to prevalent cynicism, our green efforts are actually being rewarded, somewhat cosmically, by Mother Earth herself. (And thank god, cause we're all f*cking broke). If we keep up this good green karma, we may be in store for a series of strangely perfect regenerative grace periods, courtesy of God. And that's great.

Science Agrees: Yoga makes you a spiritual sex machine.



This is a nice reaffirmation for yoga enthusiasts, and an inviting fun fact for those thinking about getting into it. I've just started practicing yoga regularly (versus only doing it once in a while) and I am incredibly grateful to myself for making it a serious part of my life. Rather than fearing the downfalls or inabilities of the body, the mind has pure control, unifying the mental with the physical. In addition to flexibility, toning, and core strength, yoga takes physical sensation to another level. Sex certainly isn't the only reason to do yoga, but is a good incentive for getting downward, dog.
