98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
Though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

Ink is rolled out and a piece of handcrafted paper is placed over the top, then it is imprinted by pressing with his fingertips.
We spotted this stupendously detailed cardboard replica of a Nikon SLR over at the Etsy blog.
It’s made by the very talented cardboard artist Marta Crass of C is for Cardboard.

Going to try really hard to have a major health kick month. I know I haven’t been THAT bad lately, but I haven’t been that good either.
Going to try eat 99% healthy, exercise as close to daily as possible, floss my teeth, sleep more and drink more water and less alcohol.
It’s going to be a good month!
Making myself feel better with black tea and a small amount of dark mint chocolate. It’s not really working though.
