Quotes to Live By:

"I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment'." ~Andy Warhol

"To laugh often and love much... to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived... this is to have succeeded." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." ~Alan Cohen


"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." ~Albert Einstein

"If the glass is half full of beer, Life is good!" ~Danika Burr

"This is what you shall do: Love the Earth and sun and animals. Despise riches...Stand up for the stupid and crazy.....and your very flesh shall be a great poem..." ~Whitman


"Democracy is the worse form of government, except for all the others" ~ Winston Churchill


"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Biography

Truly the most Super Bad addition to the TUT team, Danika, originally from Tucson, Arizona, was welcomed to the TUT team in December of 2006.

A jetsetter at heart, Danika has lived in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, and has finally settled down (strictly for the suntan) in Orlando, Florida, while maintaining globetrotter status via numerous weekend trips to here, there, and everywhere.

Danika, as prodigious as she is inclined to often be, has quickly taken on several roles here at TUT, including Liaison for the Universe, Human Resources, Accounting Genius (currently the proud owner of TUT's largest calculator) and most importantly, Office Prankster.

When not working for TUT (although rare), Danika's primary passion is immersing herself both mentally and physically in new and exciting music cultures. Danika enjoys comedy (often of the twisted and witty kind), traveling outside of the country, creating Indie film documentaries, being the most "dantastic" live sporting events fan (watch out), and collecting anything vintage circa the 60s & 80s.

Danika also collects items of the color orange (currently accepting gifts in the mail) and offers an open challenge to anyone believing they are able to beat her carbon footprint average of 5.6%.

Danika is a self-educator in the study and understanding of evolutionary science, time travel, metaphysics, Sudoku, and the art of creating the perfect short story. She has devoted her time to writing numerous wiki how-to's (from 'Maintaining Gastro-intestinal Wellness' to creating the perfect mixed tape).

Being one on the edge of all things exciting and new, rather than being satisfied with the "same old thing," Danika has taught herself to constantly develop and nurture new ideas, adventures, and inventions.

She is the creator of the 500 Meter Canoe Rally, Cous Cous Friendship Beads, Collapsible Bleachers, as well as numerous other honorable mentions to have submitted "As Almost Seen On TV" products. After training for 4 minutes a day for two weeks in spring each year, Danika has earned her self-educated title of Twelve Time Defending Champ of N.O.O.M.S.I.E.S. (Numchuck Organization Of Multiple Skill Inspired Erroneous Strikes).

Animal passionista at heart (really the only ones to understand her and get her jokes unconditionally), Danika also enjoys being involved in the community, as her love for people and animals abounds and inspires authentic visualizations in those with whom she surrounds herself.

Danika has been the muse for the lucky, who have captured her likeness in photographs, paintings, and through film and song. Her contagious optimism, humor, and lust for life have been the catalysts behind countless stories, poems, and lyrics. Luckily for the world this is a trend that has no end in sight.

All this with nonstop efforts to make as many people laugh as she can. Get this girl an award already!
