You’re there for me, but you’re not here for me.
My thought of the night. While all my friends are out there saying I’m there for you no matter what, through thick and thin, I’m sitting here alone. I try talking to you hoping you’ll say to yourself ‘Hey, I miss her. Maybe I should make an effort too.’ You want my number, you message me. You want to talk to me, message me. You want to hang out, message me and we’ll set something up. Instead of blaming me to ease your concious and to keep up your ‘stereotypical personality’ that others see and judge you by, try to understand that I had a kid, I have a family, I have priorities that has made it to where I needed to move away. Most of you have vehicles, most of you have jobs, you dont have kids to pay for and could afford the 10-20 bucks in gas to come to my new apartment and see me. I love you guys and me having kids didnt change the way I feel about you. I may not be able to do the same things I was able to before becoming a parent, but that doesnt mean I’m different. I’m still me.
sciencesoup: Cave of Crystal Giants The Naica mine in remote northern Mexico is famous for its abundance of crystals. It’s also one of Mexico’s most productive lead and silver mines, and not by coincidence, because the geological processes involved in creating lead and silver also provide the raw materials of crystals. Miners frequently hammer into impressive chambers of crystals, but in 2000, a pair of brothers drilled into what seemed like a child’s dreamscape: an enormous limestone cavern 300 metres underground, glittering with a forest of thick, luminous crystals up to 10 metres long and 600,000 years old. But how did they get so huge? Most caves and mines boast cool temperatures, but the Naica mines lie above an intrusion of magma 1.6 kilometres underground. In the Cave of Crystals, the temperature soars to 45 degrees Celsius. So, when calcium sulfate-infused groundwater flowed through the caves hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was heated until it reached a stable temperature where the minerals in the water formed selenite. This growth of selenite became the tiny bricks that built the vast crystal architecture. Temperature fluctuations in other caverns meant that the crystals stopped growing and so were smaller, but in the Cave of Crystals, where conditions remained unchanged for millennia, the crystals just kept growing.

Opinions?

So I want to buy a car, Mum helped my brother get one that cost 2 times as much as the one I want to get, but wont help me get one. Do you think she’s trying to hold me back from moving on with my life? I just want to get a cute small appartment with my best friend… But I need a car first… :/

sciencesoup: A Strange Kind of Taxidermy These techni-coloured cadavers are a weird combination of science and art, created by Iori Tomita, a Japanese artist and a lifelong fisherman. As an undergrad, he studied ichthyology—the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish—where he first saw a fish turned transparent. Since then, he has combined classical preservation techniques with staining methods to create thousands of beautiful but eccentric shells of marine creatures, gradually mastering the nuances of refining form and colour. His process can take up to a year, but it produces a brilliant result. He begins by preserving creatures in formaldehyde, then removes the scales and skin and leaves the creature to soak in a mixture of blue stain, ethl alcohol, and clacial acetic acid. Next, he uses the digestive enzyme trypsin to break down the proteins and muscles—stopping the process before the creature loses its form, but just after it becomes transparent. The bones are then soaked in a mix of potassium hydropxide and red dye, and the creature is preserved in a jar of glycerin. Tomita calls the series “New World Transparent Specimens”. Visit Tomita’s website I could get into that.

I could get into that.

I love you, but I can’t be with you.

Everybody says, “Do what makes you happy!”

But what they dont know is the things I’ll lose to be happy.

Some friends, a lot of family, & a little bit of freedom.

Its a lose lose situation.

& no matter what I do, somebody’s going to be miserable.

I’m always trying to make things easier for others,

While complicating my life beyond belief.

But thats what makes me who I am,

& I am a push over.

You could have me if you wanted to,

but dont be suprised if I try to disguise you.
