No Need For Titles (just nature lovers)

Some people call us tree huggers, nature freaks but i refer to myself with no title. I am just a person who loves and appreciates nature, maybe a bit more than the next person but still there is no need for labels. If the civilized world actually stopped everything and listened not only with their ears but with their hearts to nature the world would be in a much better place. Just to think that the air we breath to survive is provided to us by plants, food we all love food, no matter if your herbivorous, carnivorous or omnivorous our food comes from the earth. Everyday is a day to be thankful for all the wonders we see everyday from the butterflies flying in the breeze to the Birds in the air and the creepy crawlies that i love (reptiles), all in the ground LIVING. Nature is a love that should be shared now and for generations to come. We have to conserve and preserve this earth so our future generations can experience nature as it should be and not be a thing of the past. Call me what you will, nature freak, tree hugger, whatever you like but to me, I'm just a person who loves nature and all its beauties!

Lizard Treadmill

Never have I felt as tired and frustrated as I have this week. The cause of this is building a treadmill for lizards and having it function correctly. Yesterday I felt like just laying down and going to sleep. I came in around 7 in the morning to finish working on the treadmill. What followed was one complication after another. One good thing that came out of it though was that it was already a manufactured treadmill for humans but the difficult part was actually motorizing it and making a few adjustments running the belt from the motor to the actual running belt. I can't imagine building one out of scratch. Just thinking of the idea of building out of scratch makes my body ache. Its all for the sake of science! I guess we all have to go through some pain before the good, whether it be mentally or physically. Even though it caused me so much pain and exhaustion I still enjoy it because I can say that i put my heart and sweat into building that machine, without it I wouldn't have a project.
