by the way...

i have another blog.
it's kinda cool, check it out.

no worries, i'm still blogging here...just not every day.

save gas.

this is the coolest bike i've come across in a while. Meet the Brompton.


peculiar looking, but this


folds into this


which fits into a freaking bag
.

my friend has one, and i do admit, the weird proportion thing throws you off a bit. but it's SO much fun...and super convenient. just nicely designed all around.

EPIHIPHANY.

there's nothing like suddenly being informed that the pair of flats you swiped from your mum
the ones you've been walking on the backs of and kinda scuffing up
are these



and the reason why your friend bugged her eyes out when she realized that that YES, they were indeed authentic tori burch
was because they cost a flipping $195.00

WHAT. for some flats??
i'm still all who the hell is tori burch, but that's a grip. FOR SOME FLATS.

tis all.

but really?

i think the moment i decide to sit down and do work
a signal is sent out to the entirety of my phone book
because that's the moment everyone starts texting me
and calling me
and knocking on my door.
and then i end up posting a blog about how i'm so distracted.

i need to turn off my phone and start doing work in a dark corner of the library.

oddly enough, social networking has bred a new monster: personality based marketing & branding. makes sense...a person is essentially a brand after all, right?

starbucks + oatmeal?

this is either brilliant, or ridiculously flawed.
i'm on the fence.
it's an area that hasn't been explored yet, so i'd say it could produce some substantial buzz. personally, i wouldn't mind getting a cup of oats with my mocha. but that's me.

bizarro world.

this is not an angry post.




perception frames reality
and people are in their own little world.
we forgot about the ugly underbelly because everyone is smiling and giving out hugs
this is just in case you forgot.
all i have to say is you can resist all you'd like, but times are changing.
get with it or get left.
progress is love, respectfully disagree on politics if you'd like. but there's no room for this.


I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is.

free music, get in while it's hot. usually i'm not a fan of the rapper-turned-singer thing, but this is pure gold. phonte could sing to me all day.

I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD.

the quarter has barely started, and i've been up til daybreak every night.
i can't even imagine what finals are going to be like.
forget finals, i can't imagine what the JOB market is going to be like in 4 months.

but lets be positive, shall we?
(although it's kind of unnerving when shit like this and this are happening.

next time you're on facebook, think twice before you click 'add'...funny bit on the correlation between number of facebook friends and likelihood of narcissism. definitely gets the O, RLY.

random.

i love vids like this.
