This is a farewell kiss, dog

So today was Bush's fourth and last time going to Iraq, not really sure why, but I guess he went to tie up loose ends. But instead the Iraqi reporters had something else in store by attempting to tie up his face with their shoelaces. Haha!

Apparently, an Iraqi journalist threw his shoe at President Bush,who ducked and narrowly missed being struck .

All I know is that if I were in Iraq, I would not be throwing no dainty shoe at Mister Bush. He would be getting a size 14 Timberland Construction Boot straight between the eyes.

But, it seems as if one shoe wasn't enough, because the journalist proceeded to throw a second shoe at President Bush, failing again. He was later wrestled to the ground by security and taken to some undisclosed place.

According to the New York Times, Bush tried to act all cool about the situation and stated that "All I can report is it is a size 10." But the surrounding Iraqi reporters co-signed that the journalist stated "This is a farewell kiss, dog," as he hurled the shoe.

Well, in other news this remix by Lo-Fi-Fnk is on repeat in my laptop, loves it ♥. Click the picture!!

An Artist As Creative As Her Name

Imogen Heap, weird name, yes I know. But her creative genius makes up for what she lacks in the aesthetics of her naming. While surfing through the time absorbing abyss that is twitter I stumbled upon her page. Intrigued by her 140 character summaries of her daily activities, I check out her YouTube page and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this little gem.




I couldn't believe that one person could possibly create such as awesome sound all by herself. Wow. So, it turns out this chick is just as eccentric as her clothing. If you look below at her Vlog, she describes her creative process.

For instance, she hits light panels in her studio to record the sound of the dead flies bouncing up and down, and incorporates them into her tracks. Damn, she has lots of time on her hands.

It's WINTUK Baby!!

Just came back from Cirque Du Soleil: Wintuk, and it was frikkin' amazing. I mean like I really believe in magic now. So let me give you a little history, before I start buggin' out on this blog giving you mad details.

Cirque Du Soleil, means Circus of the Sun in French, which makes sense since this is a traveling entertainment group from Canada. Okay that is all the details I will give you, if you wanna find out more, you gotta do like Teyana Taylor says "Google me."

So I went to the show in Madison Square Garden, and I had seats so fookin' close I could smell the Canada on their clothes.

Anyway, yeah the show had acrobates, breakdancing dogs,

...talking lamposts, trampolines, and bunch of other hot 'ish. They also had a live orchestra playing in the adjacent walls, but they were mostly out of view.

They even had dude doin' BMX tricks on their bikes, guys on skateboards, and rollerblades.

All in all, the whole point of the show was about a little boy in a city where it didn't snow, so he went to this magic place to find snow, and did (obviously). And at the end, they made it snow in the theatre. It was really a great show, def check it out before it's gone.

Call Into Work as Gay

Ever woke up and didn't want to go to work, school, or even get up and brush your teeth. Well if you have ever suffered from the aforementioned situations, then today was your day. December 10, 208 was the official "Call in Gay" day. The event was coined with the term Day Without A Gay. According to the official website http://www.daywithoutagay.org/, the focus of this mass protest was "to take a historic stance against hatred by donating love to a variety of different causes."

The main motive was to volunteer time, and show that gay people are an equal part of society, and that they too are compassionate and loving. So the point was not to call your boss like "Hey, I'm not coming into work today...I'm gay" and then go home and sit on your bum, watching the Maury show. The point was to spend the time doing worthwhile volunteer work, as a statement against California's ban on same-sex marriage, along with other political developments considered anti-gay.

While scrolling through the many questions on the facts page I found two that were very demostrative of the creativeness that this community provides us with:

Will this get me on Oprah?
If it will get you to help out, then...yes...you'll be on Oprah, Honey

I can't take the day off work (or school) because I work for the FBI and people kinda need me to be there. Do you hate me?
Umm...NO! Come help before or after work, or help facilitate opportunities for friends through the web site now, or just cheer us on!

B-R-O OK!!

Brooklyn mos' def' goes hard. They demonstrate their swagger whenever they get the chance. And Jay-Z and Santo demonstrates their swagger in the following video....


Although I definitely enjoyed this video, and it reminded me a little of my homie Salena from Germany, who ain't from Bro-OK! but she got swagger, and creates magic with the swivle of her mouse.

BRo-OK!
