Ever have your first bite of peanut butter in a while, having forgotten how good it was, and realize it’s as awesome as sex?
Now for sex…
Chris Webb Parsons Hangboard Program
My friend Nick sent me this sweet-looking finger workout. Woohoo! I’m going to start this today! Another experienced climbing buddy (Karel) cautioned about starting slow - as to not screw up our tasty tendons. Yeah yeah yeah yeah! Get some! Heads up, rock. My fingers are coming to give you one of the most serious hugs you’ve received by a human. This is gonna be gneiss. It’s gonna rock. More rock puns welcome- send ‘em my way.Blox presents Chris Webb Parsons Hangboard Program.

To stay (f)unemployed? or get a job?
My good buddy, Karel tossed this article my way. He’s aware of my current jobsearch in the engineering field here in the States. He and I met in Beijing, as he couch surfed my place on-and-off as he was a tourguide for foreigners wanting to taste through http://thedragontrip.com/. As I hopefully approach my engineering career, media (and awesome friends!) like this help me do so mindfully. Stay conscious.
“A young woman was restrained, force-fed and injected with cosmetics in a high street shop window as part of a hard-hitting protest against animal testing.
Jacqueline Traide was tortured in front of hundreds of horrified shoppers in a bid to raise awareness and end the practise.
The 24-year-old endured 10 hours of experiments, which included having her hair shaved and irritants squirted in her eyes, as part of a worldwide campaign by Lush Cosmetics and The Humane Society.
The disturbing stunt took place in Lush’s Regent Street store, one of the UK’s busiest shopping streets.
Jacqueline appeared genuinely terrified as she was pinned down on a bench and had her mouth stretched open with two metal hooks while a man in a white coat force-fed her until she choked and gagged.
The artist was also injected with numerous needles, had her skin braised and lotions and creams smeared across her face.
Passers-by were gobsmacked to see Jacqueline, a social sculpture student at Oxford Brookes University, forced to have a section of her head shaved.
The gruesome spectacle aimed to highlight the cruelty inflicted on animals during cosmetic laboratory tests and raise awareness that animal testing is still a common practise.
The Humane Society International and Lush Cosmetics have joined forces to launch the largest-ever global campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics.
The campaign, launched to coincide with World Week for Animals in Laboratories, is being rolled out simultaneously in over 700 Lush Ltd shops across forty-seven countries including the United States, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Russia.
Lush campaign manager Tamsin Omond said: “The ironic thing is that if it was a beagle in the window and we were doing all these things to it, we’d have the police and RSPCA here in minutes.
“But somewhere in the world, this kind of thing is happening to an animal every few seconds on average.
“The difference is, it’s normally hidden. We need to remind people it is still going on.”

Keep Friends
I have friends who do things different from what I do because it is a way that I can live many lives and do may things too. There is only so much life one can live in his or her time here on Earth. For the reason of my mortality, I like to keep friends and family who interest me, who feed my spirit things that I cannot feed myself, or do not see that I can feed myself.
-thought came to by thinking of having a sick apt in Shanghai paid for by a sweet engineering job and letting Jacob and Karel stay over all the time- I haven’t/didn’t learn Chinese as well, though they have. My friends are me.
