Yukimi digs it...

Yukimi Nagano is the lead singer of the band Little Dragon. If you read my blog, you know that Little Dragon is my favorite group right now.

I sent her the link to my "Fresh Kept Secret" feature on freshselects.net, and she checked it out. The above picture is a screen grab of my myspace inbox - a comment she left me. Excuse me while I geek out...

***SWOOOON***

Check out her blog HERE.

Zhane - "Sending My Love"

This was my shit back when I was 13. Crushes on girls becoming more and more heavy as each year passes, especially when just getting in those teenage years. This song had me longing for those bad ones in 8th grade.

That was a dope school year.

Yeah.

Star Wars (Original Trilogy) as retold by someone who's only seen bits and pieces of each film

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

This is awesome!

Funny how my first blog today (in a buncha days), was about how I had nothing in my head to blog about. And now I'm on blog post #4. A day of inspiration in a way.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em kid

In these sterile times, you don't hear cuss words and see titties in kids movies anymore.

Good to see an "un-P.C." relic unearthed for us all to enjoy!

***I do not endorse smoking, nor have I ever smoked in my life. I just enjoy my media and humor a little less "safe"***

God is good

With my mom being a flight attendant of 40 years, whenever I hear of any plane crashes or mishaps, my heart skips a beat.

Amazingly, every passenger on the flight that landed in the Hudson River today In NYC is okay, save for a few with some injuries.

That pilot is a very, very, VERY talented dude.

Thanks for the image Cindy.

Rest In Peace Oscar Grant

Everybody with a beating heart owes it to themselves to watch this video, to see that despite the progress we made as a country in voting a Black Man into the highest office in the land, there is still inequality, bigotry and lawlessness when it comes to the way the authorities treat the denizens of lower income communities.

This didn't just happen in the hood though. Granted, Fruitvale BART station is in East Oakland, but it's a station that not just Oakland residents use.

If you live in Alameda, it's one of the stations you use. if you live in San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Fremont and any number of other Bay Area cities, you go through this station.

It's like the cops didn't even fucking care that there was a TRAIN FULL OF PEOPLE WITH CAMERAS TAPING THE WHOLE SITUATION.

If you're in the Bay Area tomorrow, go to this:

Justice for Oscar Grant rally at Fruitvale Bart station in Oakland, Jan. 7, 3-7 pm.


Peace and blessings to the family of Oscar Grant, and may he be in a better place now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
