NeverGiveUp.: Why Engineering?
Why do I want to do this sporadic thing, and work my days and nights off for grades and success and become an engineer? Which, let me remind myself, is a far far far fetched plan; I have years to go. I could have done teaching , I could have even become a lawyer for all this.
But why civil…

Why Can’t We Use all Types of Energy?
It seems like using all of the different methods of creating energy, together would be the best approach to alternative energy. I know so many people are now scared of nuclear power because of what happened in Japan, but that was multiple massive failures happening all together, causing the worst possible scenario. Solar energy doesn’t seem to be the complete answer as the technology in itself is expensive and not 100% there yet. Wind power has similar issues. Though since these are such new technologies, there is a lot more that we have yet to gain from the research and development that will continue finding better methods of extracting our existing natural resources. Hopefully the world will see that the solution is to use many types of energies together.

Solar Energy
Solar energy seems to slowly be catching on out here in Los Angeles. I have noticed more solar cells on top of single family residences. I have been looking to buy a house and it seems like even some of the smaller houses are starting to get in on the benefits. We are looking at Highland Park, and when you drive up the 110 North from Downtown Los Angeles you can see a huge array of solar panels. Very cool stuff.

I didn’t know you could do that either. But I just had to say that these messages are hilarious in that there is no way people should be believe that these were actually posted on twitter. And even if it was in doubt, a quick cross reference should clear it up. :p
omg I love it when people on Tumblr fall victim to fake, unsourced tweets and don’t realize that letmetweetthatforyou is a thing that exists

HEARST TOWER
a project by Foster and Partners
new york, new york, united states, completed 2006
––––––––––––
The first “green” high rise office building to be completed in New York City, Hearst Tower accurately represents the talent and intellect that drives Foster and Partners toward innovative and ground breaking design.
The building’s symmetrically jagged silhouette is easily recognizable in its surroundings…

Snacks and Foods
Looking to start getting back in some form of shape so I can start wearing my expensive suits again. Looking at snacks and foods that will help me get where I want to go. Been having a hard time wanting to eat at King Taco, which isn’t helping this diet. Now I seem to be keeping my brain flowing healthy by reading and reading and reading. But I think it’s time for me to try to take a break from reading and learning and just try to relax. I love to go running, but lately its been hurting my knee. I am hoping that working on my diet and getting back into exercising will fix my aching knee. And somehow I am going to have to stop going to get tacos whenever I feel like it. But they are so irresistable!
