If everyone cooperates, and we can also turn off the streetlighting, landmarks, businesses-lights and that sort of things, it’s gonna be one hell of a nap.

The worst of being an environmentalist, is not to be unemployed…it is to be powerless and considered annoying, radical etc…people simply don´t want to feel responsible of nothing. For me, the worst part is to [...] If I have to go commercial, I’d rather do it the right way. Today, I bought a bottle of red wine called Leopard’s Leap “Lookout”. A South African wine from the Western Cape, the province where I spent most of my time, during my stays in South Africa. Simply being drawn to the name of [...] This morning I looked out of my window and saw this: He is destroying the Dandelions!! And enjoying it as well.. seeing that he’s driving in 8 shapes..
