Things I learned Today.

Just a few things I learned today....


While at my morning outdoor Tai Chi class, my teacher discovered something quite "trippy" if you want to put it bluntly. We all looked up, and thhere was a massive ring around the sun that looked like some sort of rainbow. We all exclaimed in a puzzled tone, " how the hell does that happen?" Then my teacher wonderfully added , "man, I wonder what that would look like if I was smokin' a joint..." He's a great guy.

Anyway, since I was so curious about it, I googled that shit...

It's called a "Solar Halo." It forms from ice crystals in cirrus clouds. The clouds are lower and randomly orriented around the sun and the suns rays reflect off of the crystals forming a ring.

i know right, OH SHITE!








I got a little carried away and started looking up other trippy sun phenomenons.

I then learned about what are called "Sun Dogs" or "Parahelia" if you wanna get all scientific.

They are also formed by ice crystals in cirrus clouds that are vertically aligned across the sky. The sun refelcts off of the clouds making it look like there are 3 different suns in the sky.

thats alot of sun screen...





so yeah, you can go smoke some joints and stare at the sun, or you could purchase some SPF 1000...whatever works.

Songs that will blow your ears off. (in a good way of course.)
Flying Lotus:  "And the World Laughs With You" (ft. THOM YORKE!)
this is the leaked track from his new album coming out in May. oooo.

The Bee Gees: "More than a Woman"
I was watching "Saturday Night Fever" yesterday and i had this song stuck in my head ALL DAY.
goes to show that that movie never gets old, i suppose.
i wish my voice could be all high pitched like that, too.



Go now, soak up that goodness.


cheerio, chaps.
