HEY LADIES - GENTLEMAN

Guys - you gotsa stop dressing like Adrock, please. It's a very specific way of dress that suggests you live in Los Feliz in 1994, and when I see this in real life I believe that you support a certain devil-may-care attitude of its purest incarnation that is very attractive to me. This is wonderful, but more often than not you like dubstep. CUT IT OUT

Dear Michael Stipe, Thank You for Everything P.S I Love You

"The four astronauts of the final space shuttle mission are greeted by R.E.M. front man Michael Stipe and the group's hit, "Man on the Moon" to begin Flight Day 7. On recording this song for the Atlantis' last crew Stipe said, "I recorded 'Man on The Moon' for NASA in Venice, Italy, where Galileo first presented to the Venetian government his eight-power telescope, and in 1610 wrote 'The Starry Messenger' (Sidereus Nuncius), an account of his early astronomical discoveries that altered forever our view of our place in the universe'" - NASA TV

Just another wonderful example of Michael Stipe being a babe. This song always reminds me of 11th grade New Genres when our teacher showed us the film Man on the Moon and it blew ALL OF OUR MINDS because it was baby's first meta-anything. It was so beautiful - I also saw R.E.M at the Hollywood bowl in 2008 and I had the worst flu, but there was noway I was going to miss it. I also plan on getting a quarter sized portrait of Michael Stipe tattoo'd somewhere on my person.

My stomach falls out of my body when I watch this, I miss Spain.

Whatever, bro.

Alternately, the ending from Caddyshack

Motivation "Screwed" by sciarra

I DON'T HAVE A TYPE OR ANYTHING

LAST NIGHT - I stayed up until 5:45am working on a presentation. maybe because it included chat roulette and anthony bourdain (swoon) i was so excited that i had the best dream ever.

In this dream it was a nice sunny day on the campus of Cal State Long Beach and:



EMILE HIRSCH


ROBERT PATTINSON AND


A YOUNG VINCE VAUGHN


were vying for my affection. contests included but were not limited to the throwing of the stone benches in front of kjazz. somehow vaughn won in my dream. subconscious's are weird.

the best thing is though, my friend Oanh would always ask me if i had a 'type' and i could never really tell her. Oanh was my dorm - roommate and when pictures of joseph gordon-levitt and adrian brody appeared on my own personal man-wall, i quickly learned that perhaps there is a pattern.

DAN ELDON

I hate to think that Dan Eldon is going to become a "trendy thing" really soon. I've had his collected journals since I was 11 and I've always felt proud that he was a fellow Waldorfian (we went to the same type of elementary school).


I typed his name into google, for the first time really, now that I think of it, to see if his artwork would be appropriate for a presentation I'm going to do in my transnational/cosmopolitanism lit theory class. found out that Tom's is doing a line based on Dan Eldon, and I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness about this. Maybe Toms shoes is a good thing, maybe they do actually send a pair of shoes to a child in need, only Tom knows, right? I'm taking this as a profoundly personal offense. If that wasn't enough, Daniel Radcliff is going to play him in "the movie version". Um. He was quoted on some webrag saying he was happy because Eldon was, "a really brave guy". Okay. I don't feel like there's being enough care given to this exposure. Some things should stay somewhat sacred, right?

The Universe Wants Me to Fail College

The week of April 18th will be one month away from the day that I have roughly 35 pages worth of academic writing finished and stapled and in professors hands. Now a smart student who budgets their time well would reason, "Apart from research, that's roughly one page a day! Hoo-ra!" Hopefully this week will bring great strides in completing these papers but it doesn't look good for me.

Here is how forces unbeknownst to me have stacked their cards against me.

Poem for Summer

i.

Under the baseball dusk I drive and become the pink, purple, blue;
remember the order in the sky of my mind,
it's important.

Moving straight and fast in the cool,
air my skin is carbonated.
Like the sweet baseball bleachers cooking under
a yellow elementary sun.

Is it a mood? A surrounding water that is summer that works on me,
like a roller-coaster.
There is nothing concrete about it.

Caddyshack as the Socioeconomic Picture of Bergeoning Deindustrialization in America

THE genius of Caddyshack goes beyond the apparent class divides it portrays. It's show of old v. new money creates a new space for which more modern irreverent comedy can exist.The hat scene is a straightforward acknowledgment of the movement the movie as a whole operates as.

Can I get a Minute

I don't know where this is from. I also can't provide you with any context, this picture made me forget how to read. I'm shocked I'm able to even write right now.

"Modern prizefighting is a remarkable metaphor for the philosophical and social condition of men (and sometimes, women)in modern mass society. Launched in eighteenth-century England, largely as a way of upper-class betting men to amuse themselves at the expense of lower-class ruffians, prize-fighting was created in anticipation of mass industrialized society, where it has flourished as a sport and, even more startlingly, as an aesthetic: namely, to watch without seeing. The prizefighter enacts a drama of poor taste (but not of absurdity, as the modern professional wrestler does) that is in truth nothing more than an expression of resentment or a pantomime of rebellion totally devoid of any political context except ritualized male anger turned into a voyeuristic fetish" (xiv)

"YOU'D BE A GOOD JEDI"

I VOTE FOR YOU IN SO MANY WAYS MOS DEF. NO, I'D MOS DEF VOTE FOR YOU. YOU MOS DEF HAVE MY VOTE.

FOR SUMMER

I want one of those seventies bra's. One of the ones that look like they're made just of fabric. You know where you've seen them, any movie made about young adults and summer camp between the years 1976-1989.

I miss you Blogger

Tumblr is weird and scary and everyone just says "Fuck Yeah" all of the time. AND whenever I write something I feel guilty, like I should be posting a picture instead. I don't like that. I like Blogger.
