I really need this.

This lady goes to my school everyday 30 minutes after school ends. She goes around the whole school going through each trash can and putting all the bottles in a big plastic bag.

I feel really bad for her but at the same time I have a lot of respect for her. She collects all these bottles just to have money. I admire her very much. She’s noble. I asked her one time if why does she do it, and she said I do it so I could have extra money. I have bills to pay and I have to feed my family. That right there is straight up touching.

Even if she has a lot of problems and stress, she’s not giving up on her family. She’s willing to throw away her life just so her family could survive. Who wouldn’t respect this woman? She’s amazing! I will definitely say she is one of the greatest mothers out there! She wouldn’t need to say “I love you” to her family because her actions are filled with it. Everything she does is obviously done because of the love she has for her family.

Because of her, I realized how blessed I am. I complain and whine and bitch whenever I don’t get anything I want, without even knowing that there are other people out there who don’t even have things that I have. People who would do anything to at least have a couple of clothes, 3 meals per day, even a shelter. People who work their asses off, taking any job, even 2 or more jobs, just so they could help their family survive. And I realized how much I spend my money on unnecessary things too. People in this world are doing anything, everything to at least have a dollar or two in their pocket and here I am throwing money away like it’s nothing.. SMH.

Be satisfied with what you have and don’t ask for things you want, but ask for things you need. The money we use on unnecessary things could be used for donations to a charity or a foundation, and people who really need the money could use it, feel me? There are lots of people in this world who are in need of food, clothing, shelter, education, and better health. One penny could make a difference. (:

ME WANT

Life-Altering NASA Announcement of the Day: A few days ago NASA teased the world with a news conference to be held today at 2PM EST, in which an annoucement will be made concerning “an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.” So, is there life on Mars as David Bowie has been demanding to know for years? Maybe. But that’s not what NASA wants to discuss.

According to the just-unembargoed research paper “A Bacterium That Can Grow by Using Arsenic Instead of Phosphorus,” the much-debated possibility of a terrestrial “shadow biosphere” (that is, “a second genesis for life on this planet”) has allegedly been confirmed by scientists studying the microbes of California’s arsenic-rich Mono Lake.

From Cosmic Log:

In the paper published today, the researchers report that some of the bacteria could survive on arsenic and incorporate it into their cellular biochemistry. Instead of the usual phosphate-rich DNA, they observed arsenate-rich DNA. Heightened levels of arsenic also showed up in the cell’s proteins and fats. The scientists used mass spectroscopy, radioactive labeling and X-ray fluorescence to confirm that the arsenic was really being used in the biomolecules rather than merely contaminating the cells.

The long and short of it is that, if verified, this would be quite an exciting prospect for those actively searching for extraterrestrial life, because it opens up the possibility that undiscovered alien lifeforms could have a genetic makeup far removed from our own.

How cool is that?
