In Holland, the architectural firm MVRDV is designing a horticultural theme park:
Inside the Flowerbed Hotel’s greenhouse shell, stacked volumes will hold 280 floral-themed rooms, a conference center, 22,600 square feet of flowerbeds, and parking. The spacious lobby will include public space (including a sprawling garden) for day visitors, a private area for hotel guests, and a mixed zone—all connected by a semi-public route. The goal is to submerse visitors in the greenhouse climate. [The] firm expects to include sustainable features such as sun collectors, windmills, and underground cool storage to maximize energy performance in spite of the glass skin.

Quantum Physics states that everything in the universe is a “possibility”, a single chance that it even exists; if there are infinite amount of things in the universe, that means there are an infinite amount possibilities for everything. Thats quite comforting if you think about it for a while because that reassures the point that we as a person have an infinite amount of possibilities.
Man life cant get any better than chilling next to the water, writing some stuff, listening to some good music and making these awesome bracelets. Maybe if i was up in the forest in colorado, but its almost an equal.
