Sigur Ros makes the best videos


Glosoli

"Scott Rahin told me, “the other day I was watching this video and I just started crying.”
“What was it?” I asked.
“Sigur Rós,” he said. “And before you humiliate me—”
“Was it the one where the kids fly?”
“Yeah.”
“That's the Sophie's Choice of music videos. What you're seeing in that video is your grandparents going to heaven when they're kids. They escape all of the shit you heard about, like being beaten by the nuns or not being able to afford college, or having to tow a Dodge out of the mud with a mule. There was never that moment when you got the call, when you had to get someone to cover your college radio show, and you end up at some hospice where they leave you in the room alone with him, or her, for a few minutes and you have no idea what to say. Except you see that morphine drip and hear the gurgle in their throat and realize that pain is more complicated than carrying a black leather journal and a variety of colored pens. Twelve years later you're following links and there's some video from Iceland with elves singing and bells and children with perfect skin wearing the latest fashions of 1918, and your dead grandparents start running up that hill together. No polio or cardiac arrest and no car crashes or racism or halitosis. No wonder you're crying.”



viðrar vel til loftárása - This video hurts my heart but it's fantastic.

Heart Stoppers

I stumbled on to this website and heard the name to the tune of This Is Why I'm Hot by MIMS.
Anyway, it shows an array of possibly tasty but terrible food that only America could create. Here's example 1...The Jabaconageburger With Cheese
A cheeseburger patty topped with bacon and sausage between two jamaican beef patties.

Example 2....
Deep Fried Peanut Butter-Covered Brownie Wrapped In Cookie Dough

Chris Brown has sullied his good name. What went wrong?

Middle school rapper - Scooter Smiff

I saw this video a while ago and thought it was fun and I always love Chris Brown but I didn't think it would be taken that seriously. Then recently I heard it on the radio in St. Louis. The lyrics don't pretend that's he's older than 12. He talks about driving a go cart and going to junior prom. It's quite catchy though.

Ukrainian Fighting Women



"French photojournalist Guillaume Herbaut spent some time with an unusual and tough group of 150 Ukrainian women who call themselves “Asgarda.” These women live in the Carpathian Mountains and follow a rigorous routine of fighting and boxing, often with medieval weaponry.

The women idolize Yulia Tymoshenko, the icon of the Orange Revolution and leader of the Ukrainian Fatherland party."

Talk about hardcore.

In Buenos Aires

What I thought of in the shower

Today I was thinking about how many girls I know who are unmarried and have children. Often times the father isn't terribly supportive and responsible, at least in the cases I am aware of. Do you think that if men were the ones who had the children that women would stick around to be a parent or if they'd leave because they weren't literally connected to the child? Just a strange thought.

Need to See

New York, I Love You



Year One



**Sorry I've been putting up so many videos and hardly anything else. I'll try and vary it a bit.
I wish I could have some sort of effortless glamor.
