red

i was bored with the neon green graphic.
my eyes are liking the red version.


what's that movie with the talking plant?
I decided to actually partake in the caring of our garden.
ok, weed wacking is actually more like it, but whatever. same thing.
I hate weeds.
I hate gardening.
i was not born with a green thumb in this concrete jungle.

further, i didn't ask for a front yard with rose bushes
and a dirt area big enough to plant a fat flower bed.
I'm much more satisfied with the lovely rock garden that takes up 90% of our
front yard.
yeah for the flintstones!

While aesthetically pleasing and promotes the processing of carbon-
dioxide into the atmosphere, I really find
gardens and lawns and things of that sort to be a futile investment.
first of all, the amount of water needed to maintain such
a thing is obnoxiously abundant.
hello?! our water bill alone would triple.

second, I can only imagine the toll that pesticides (weed killers)
can have on the environment.
sure, it's only for one or two gardens within a small neighborhood,
but multiply that with the number of gardens and neighborhoods
in north america alone and that's a lot of pesticide... (not to mention
the pesticides used in growoing our food.)
hmm...it's probably not a healthy thing for our environment.

third, gardens and lawns are for the most part all about aesthetics.
they aren't very useful in any way, shape or form.
if I had the money, I'd simply just expand my house into the front yard.
I mean seriously! it's enough space to add another room, and god
knows that this house could use the extra space for entertaining!
hehehhee.

it's just nice to dream.
too bad I need to get back to the stupid weeds.
It's a freakin' jungle out there
AHHHHHh!!!!
