Look at this little dude! What magical wonders the rainforest has in store for all of us!
PS– I am back in the USA, not sure if I am back to 100% blogging, but I do have some magical south South American stories to share at some point.
In a New York Times Article today Barack Obama was called out for (possibly) turning to avoid shaking hands with Hillary. A man has his reasons.
APPLE, you so CRAZY!!!
Don’t act all surprised when this homey (below) shoots up the Apple Store. This contraption actually only controls your iPOD but trust me, YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT. MARK MY WORDS IT WILL BE AS FORETOLD.
OH and POST-SCRIPT — If either of the two people out there who read this blog want to chime in on Apple’s choice in hand model, by all means please do so. MANY THANKZ.
FYI– DAY 17 of the Year of the rat (sort of–plus this article was published yesterday) and LO! Let there be evidence of GIANT PREHISTORIC RATS that roamed the earth. And not animatronic ones like in The Princess Bride, but the real deal. ALSO–and I think this is especially noteworthy since I am currently planning a trip to Peru–but this guy was found in Ecuador. Is the universe telling me to go to Ecuador? Is it a sign?! One thing is for certain, this dude is totally ADORBZ (thanks Carlen–does this word belong to you?). SEE?
This video isn’t even that good, but I know an “Emo” when I see one.
I should mention that this is titled Puppies Attack an Emo on its youtubes home.
2008 is the year of the rat. 1984 was also the year of the rat as well as the year that baby Erica’s album dropped on this planet. SO ANYWAY I have been really repping the year of the rat for the last month or so. I MEAN, THIS IS MY YEAR, right?
FREAKILY ever since New Years Day I have been running into rats EVERYWHERE. Most notably my parents discovered a rat in their basement on 1/01/08. It was slightly poisoned so my dad did what dads are supposed to do– he put it in a plastic bag and killed it with a shovel on the driveway. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I am totally tripping! Day one of 08′ and already one rat is dead!! At the hands of my father no less! OMGEEZY.
When I returned to San Francisco a couple of days ago a letter was waiting for me at my apartment. I opened the letter and BOOSH! there is an illustration of a RAT talking to a child in spanish. The rat says, “Please child, spare my life.” WHAT IS GOING ON ?!?
I know I have only lived in San Francisco for a year but I DEFINITELY think that the universe is trying to tell me something. I have been reading up on rats a little… I got kind of hung up on their historical use in bloodsport. While I don’t actually know what that means it sounds TOTALLY BONKERS. Anyway I soulja’d on and learned that different kinds of rats represent both good and bad omens in different cultures. That said, I still don’t know what to make of all of my rat encounters recently but HAPPILY I can say that I have a new FAVO website for all of my rat history needs (so many needs)!
BIG UPS to Nike for out crazying everybody– and not just shoe designers, but literally EVERYONE. It is sort of like Nike is a 5 year old who tells you her favorite color is RAINBOW (mine is too, BTW) and just happens to have the hubris and resources to ACTUALLY PROVE IT (in your face!).
On an interesting side note, in an unprecedented form of reverse sound –> color synesthesia it turns out these shoes are actually the visual manifestation of R. Kelly’s Real Talk (Behind the Scenes). LOVE THAT GUY.
WAY to go Justice! Bonnie Raitt + Jay-Z?! Uhh… I feel funny.
TRACK NINE GO!!
