beautifully shot footage* of Occupy Wall Street to a great fitting song (James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream) *(minus the nationalist sentiment with the gratuitous USA flag shot. I would say the Occupy Movement is a global movement. Nationalism is about self interests, the state, borders, and chauvinism.)

(A very timely piece for me. For a while now, I have had little desire to be wealthy or powerful, but I had recently watched this trailer for an upcoming movie, and I must admit, I was kind of compelled by these hot, powerful, vampire girls who were leading these elite lives of luxury. I kind of wanted to be of their world. This is half serious, too. But, to be a bit more serious, upon...

super cute.
INCLUDES:
Villain: Fat-Phobic Rob Ford Haters (nominated for: being judgmental for all the wrong reasons). “When you tell Rob Ford that he’s a fat fuck who needs to get on a bike, you erase me as a fat cyclist.” Hero: SlutWalk Toronto (nominated for: getting feminists the world over to walk the walk). “… indignation at a police culture that seems to teach “don’t get...

“Cheap foods are fatty, and the whole point of fat is satiety. If you look at fresh vegetables in the old-fashioned way, as fuel, rather than the modern way, as an embodiment of morality and self-governance, they are terrible value, especially the organic ones. … Once you accept that crap food is an economic, not a moral choice, you have to accept a whole raft of unpleasant outcomes as...

I’ve always liked when people give me a friendly wink. Normally it’s older people. It’s really so sweet, like in that one gesture, they’re giving a compassionate, “I know things are fucked. Don’t worry, everything’s going to be okay soon.” And then it also makes me wonder, do they know something I don’t know? Could there be some grand...

Applying to Masters program kind of reluctantly (it’s kind of a back up plan. I’d rather be out there working as opposed to the ivory tower academic path), but I’m getting excited actually.

I have been long waiting to watch the movie Restless, and had tonight planned to watch it on a stream that I found. I had it all uploaded and set up on my laptop, but the audio keeps dropping making it practically unwatchable :( And the torrented versions also have the same problem, which is why I avoided them. I shall wait till January 24th when it comes out on DVD. Something to look...

I looove this.
A way for the “non-denominational winter holiday” fans to embrace Christmas and, at the same time, take it down! … from the inside! via Troy/Childish Gambino & A-B-E-D p.s. inspired by Donald Glover, I used the Wu-Tang name generator, and my clan name is Thunderous Desperado!
