For anyone that's worked in an office and been this bored lol!

Excitement.

"Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream.
This excitement is like a forest fire -
you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away."

- Denis Waitley

"Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present."

- Robert Conklin

"The key that unlocks energy is desire.
It's also the key to a long and interesting life.
If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves,
we have to get excited. "

- Earl Nightingale

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming,
we lose the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."

- Gloria Steinem

"Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement,
and you are bound to becomre an excited person.
Life will take on a new zest, deeper interest and greater meaning.
You can think, talk and at yourself into dullness
or into monotony or into unhappiness.
By the same process you can build up inspiration,
excitement and surging depth of joy."

- Norman Vincent Peale

"I learned that the richness of life is found in adventure....
It develops self-reliance and independence.
Life then teems with excitement.
There is stagnation only in security."

- William Orville Douglas

"It's always the challenge of the future, this feeling of excitement, that drives me."

- Yoshihisa Tabuchi

What's for Lunch?

This may look gross to some of you but it looks really good to me right now...especially since it's right around lunch time lol. Here's the recipe:

Salmon Macaroni Salad
Tip: add the macaroni to the salmon mayo mixture when it is still warm. That way it will absorb the flavors better.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound (about 2 cups) macaroni pasta

Salt

2 (7-ounce) cans salmon

1/2 cup mayonnaise (plus more to taste or for added smoothness)

1 teaspoon mustard

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/3 cup chopped shallots, red onions, or green onions (with onion greens)

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill)

2 stalks celery, chopped

Tabasco to taste (we used about 10 drops)

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Bring a pot of water (2 quarts) to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt. Add the dry macaroni pasta and cook, uncovered, in a rolling boil for about 10 minutes, or until the macaroni is al dente (slightly firm). Remove from heat, drain, rinse briefly in cold water (macaroni should be still warm after rinsing) and drain again.
2. In a large bowl mix the salmon, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix in the shallots, parsley, dill, and celery.
3. Mix in the cooked macaroni while it is still warm. Add Tabasco and freshly ground pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings.
Chill before serving. Serves 4.

MUTO a Wall- Painted Animation by BLU

A graffiti flipbook so to speak! I wonder how much time this actually took? Cause as you can see, the artist whites out the last frame every time to make it look like the objects are in motion! Anyways, check out the video...it's pretty amazing.
