Composting

Ahhhh the cycle of life. It becomes clearer everyday. Start from the earth and end in the earth.

Composting is another really cool thing when you think about it.

Take all your coffee grounds, potato skins, apple cores, watermelon rinds ... etc. Throw in some leaves and grass and dirt and sticks and let the magic happen. With all those "natural" elements, the process of breaking down begins to happen, and little micro-organisms began to form, slowly decomposing the matter. With the help of a little water and a little air (more natural), the process continues until it actually starts creating heat from all the "work" being done. Soon you can actually see steam coming off a compost pile on a cool morning. The pile of scraps soon becomes a big heap of "black gold" as super rich, natural fertilizer that is worth it's weight in gold. Not to mention there is life in that soil! Yes ... the rebirth of life!! From natural leftovers .. little organisms, and bugs, and worms are created! Congratulations ... YOU are now GOD !! Give it a few million years and human beings will be crawling out of that dirt wearing 3 piece suits and holding a cup of Starbucks!

Now try that same process with some Coca Cola, McDonald's french fries, some Whopper Jr's., and a few Tyson chicken fingers. Yeah, other than the Coke eating through everything from the acid contents, you just ain't gonna get anything like the above scenario. Which is probably why we, as humans feel as shitty as we do on a daily basis. Then of course, we go buy pills to counter the effect of why we feel that way. Hmmmmmmmm, strange indeed.

So today I began composting everything that I can. Not that much will happen when it's zero degrees, but come spring I shall have all the natural fertilizer I need to create the worlds biggest and best garden and corn maze the world has ever seen!!!

So either I'm getting in touch with nature, OR I'm trying to convince myself that I can eat all natural when the clock strikes January 1, 2009. Either way, I said I would do it and dammit, I will do it. For the sake of all humanity! And here's another claim that I'll regret making. I (Les), will not shave until I lose 50 pounds from my January 1st 2009 date. That's right, I will not touch a razor, not one hair on my face will fall, until the scale shows a 50 pound loss!!! I may be walking around with facial hair down to my nipples but God Dammit I'm going to change how humans eat! To change the way humans LIVE! One Man, ONE NATION .. THAT IS THE STATE_OF_LES !!!!!!!!

All right, speaking of compost and shit, I'm going to quit now. That "compost" stuff is getting about knee deep the more I write.



Todays RBV: Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.


Yes indeed, once in a great while I do find a Bible verse that I agree with. Too bad it's called evolution and not Adam's rib, or a magical garden, or supernatural fruit, or a talking snake.
