What I Do Is What I Love

~ David, age 23. ~ Mechanical Engineer / Project Manager. ~ I'm an avid outdoorsman, triathlete, gearhead, whitewater kayaker, runner, road cyclist, mountain biker, backpacker, caver, climber, river guide, and so much more. ~ I'm an audiophile and an amateur EDM producer, my weapon of choice is the Traktor Kontrol S4. ~ Decidedly a nerd, geek, dork, and proud of it. ~ I try my hand at photography, especially outdoor, wilderness and landscape scenes. All pictures credited to me are mine. ~ I crave the peace a day in the wilderness brings. ~I eat clean and treat my body as the finely-tuned machine it is. ~ Adrenaline is my favorite drug, but dopamine isn't far behind. ~When I get sad, I stop being sad. I go for a run and become awesome instead. ~ Do what you love, love what you do. Stop waiting, get out there and do it now.

I love the piano. I love the cello. I also love the score from LoTR and The Hobbit. Mush all that together, and you have a beautiful piece from The Piano Guys [x].

Monster Ring System Circles Giant Alien Planet

If you thought Saturn’s ring system was impressive, spare a thought for the rings surrounding the giant exoplanet J1407b — the rings of J1407b wouldn’t only dwarf Saturn’s, the system is so big that it eclipses the massive world’s host star! Learn more

Hang on a minute…

Shouldn’t all mermaids be fat?

Mermaids are probably mammals, because of their visible breast tissue and horizontal tail fins.

Aquatic mammals need to have developed a thick layer of subcutaneous fat in order to survive in water. Even in a hot climate, swimming in water the whole time would require fatty insulation.

So… chubby mermaids. Yeah.

Keep reblogging this, it is making male mermaid enthusiasts angry.

I loved to sleep with the window open. Rainy nights were the best of all: I would open the window and put my head on the pillow and close my eyes and feel the wind on my face and listen to the trees sway and creak.

"be stubborn about your goals but flexible about your methods." the best advice I’ve ever received.

[queen-of-love-and-beauty]

Men who can’t cook, clean, or even do their own laundry are not “cute” and “in need of a woman to care for them”. They are spoiled brats so dependent on gender roles that they never bothered to learn the minimal skills to take care of themselves.
