Shawn's Lab
Happy Earth Day!

I’ll just breeze over why typically Earth Day events are pretty much completely hypocritical a vast majority of the time.

Anyway, I would make a list of Earth Day musts, but that’s… wrong. I’m not the Governer of Earth Day. I wouldn’t really want to be, but that is getting completely aside from the point.

Even though there’s a lot of things you could do today, just acknowledging the incredible planet we live on and its natural amazingness is quite enough to qualify as celebrating today, by my standards.

Regardless of being a day with a festive title tacked on it or not, hope everyone is having/had/has a great day.

Scientists: Black Cats Cannot Become Black Holes
Despite numerous media reports, scientists at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva have rebuked the notion that a tightly wound black cat could accumulate enough mass to generate a rift in the time-space continuum.
“It’s nonsense,” says Gottfried Horner, a noted theoretical physicist. “Just scare tactics from the anti-cat media.”

Jeez, I think this might be my favorite news site of all time.

Hi. :)

So today is my friend and fellow bandmate Shawn’s birthday, and even if he doesn’t come online today, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And that I love him, and I think he’s really one of the coolest people ever, especially out of those whom I actually know. :)

Okay, bye.

#HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAWN!!! #hope you’re having a great day :)

Thanks Z. That’s very sweet of you.

And I did have a great day. :)

Cat Refuses to Sell Vintage Record Collection
Jake the cat is sitting on a pile of vinyl worth an estimated $40,000. But the feline record collector — who owns mint-condition LPs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan — has no intention of selling.
“They’re his most prized possession,” says Carmen Singer, a source close to the situation. “Jake without his records would be like peanut butter without jelly. It just doesn’t make sense.”
Via Jake and Charlie.

No Jake, don’t sell them. DON’T SELL THEEEEEEEMM!!!



Ever.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Abysmal’s Shawn, who turns 20 today!

Hah, thanks J.

It wasn’t a bad day. I got to do everything I set out to do that day. So I’d say it was fairly successful, or in other words, happy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. SHAWN WILLIAMS!!!
I drew this picture for you, on my iPad. :3 It’s shave ice, because I know you love that stuff, in a red cup, and a spoon so you can eat it, and a straw so you can drink it. I don’t know what flavor you like most though, so I just made it pink because shave ice drawings are cute when they’re pink.
Anyway~! Hope you like it.
Happy happy birthdaaaaaay~!



Haha, thanks Yo. I really appreciate that. This is very cute.

Disrespectful Cat Takes Up “Half the Couch”
Foo Foo the cat makes sitting an art form.  When she needs a place to sit, she doesn’t ask politely for a space on the couch — she just takes it.  And she lounges with a luxury that tends to annoy her fellow housemates. 
“She’s not a very big cat, but she takes up half the couch, and she never respects safe seat rules,” says roommate Debbie Ahn.  ”it’s kind of rude, frankly.”
Via End of Level Boss.



Hmmm, I think I know a cat like this too. But at least the one I know doesn’t seem rude. At least to me.

Meet Han Bennink, the jazz drummer who makes music out of anything: “”What is music, anyway? It’s just like organized sound. And what’s organized? Who decides that?”




TOTALLY INSPIRATIONAL.

AND. AND:
Bennink can make music out of just about anything. But he can’t read musical notes.


“For me, it’s all fly poop on white paper,” he says.

I think I adore this man. 



Awesome guy.
