Littering

I notice teenagers around my office constantly throwing food and garbage on the street without a second thought. Sometimes it seems like they are proving themselves grown-up, like when they smoke. Although it bothers, less so then when I see an adult behave in the same manner. I was in Barbados and saw, from a distance, a man with his girlfriend---visitors, not native--- waiting for a taxi. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and proceed to throw the cellophane on the floor than the foil inside the pack, followed by the match. Neither one could careless about polluting this beautifully clean island. What gives?

The "Present" is becoming a thing of the past.

Is there any difference between eating at our desks, if we end up in a restaurant or park and stare at our smart phone's emails, instead of the live scene in front of us?

Fire at Houston and Avenue A

Texting

Texting is manic, writing is joy. Pick up a pen and rest your thoughts and doodles in your journal.

Metal expressing itself.

Rust is undying love.

Cliches

Cliches are only "cliches" when we lose our ability to accept simplicity as having
true meaning. Farmers have a great work ethic and outlook on life and some may view
their ways as naive, but I see them as firm footing for moving forward in life.

Turn signals

Is it laziness or poor driving that prevents a vast majority of drivers from using their turn signals? In case anyone is curious it is for the particular benefit of people behind you (don't assume you see everyone) who plan their defensive driving moves way in advance---like bikers! (Motorcyclists and bicyclist.) Think of someone else and be safe. It could be you---or your brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son---one day who will be thankful, that you or someone else used them.
