Kill yoga. Hang ass.

I arrived to Yoga class tense and stressed and left revived and balanced. As I lay on the floor towards the end, I spent no less than a week among plants in a rain forest and absorbed their colors into my soul before the instructor began to speak again and the floor came back to support me.

When we got home from the gym I decided to turn on the water out front. We have a new sprinkler and we like to watch it slowly wave back and forth and shower the ground with freshness. Unfortunately my neighbor came out and felt it was her duty to inform us that "worms" have been eating out petunias.

Actually, we already knew this. They are caterpillars not worms and I've been meaning to write about them on this little bloggy thing, but kept forgetting. You see, either the caterpillars are eating and pooping or we have spotted two caterpillars and a couple dozen pupas. (Ben actually remembered that they were called "pupa" which impressed the shit out of me) So, we rejoice their being in our garden because everyone knows that caterpillars produce moths and butterflies, both of which are beneficial to the environment.

Our neighbor however, thought, that it was a travesty and that I should be doing something about the pests eating our flowers. I told her that the petunias are not hurt by the caterpillars. To which she scoffed and held up her hands showing me the size of holes that those monstrosities were leaving in my flowers. I invoked my calming buddha grin and informed her that actually the caterpillars eat the entire bloom(holes be damned) and that another is then produced in it's place and that the bunches with the insects have had more success this year than the bunches without. She pretended to understand my take on the situation, but I felt her mind cursing my eastern philosophies.

The point of this story is:

WHY IN THE HELL ARE PEOPLE SO BENT ON KILLING SHIT!!!??? and HOW IN THE HELL HAS THAT OLD WOMAN LIVED AS LONG AS SHE HAS GOING AROUND KILLING SHIT?!

What goes around, obviously, does not come around to anyone born before karma.

And now for a little segment I like to call:
