And of course there is a website dedicated to the persecution of Bridge and Tunnelers.
Holy shit does anybody know if this is a London spread of douche hats or is this homegrown? The humanity.
My old neighborhood
Love that the blog revolution is at the point I can now keep up with my old neighborhood in Queens that I didn’t ever really enjoy living in…

Malcolm Gladwell
An amazing writer. Recently finished his book called Tipping Point and just ordered his more recent book titled Blink (something about consciousness.)
His blog is sprinkled with essays and articles from his time at the New Yorker.
This particular article was quite shocking and revealing.
All in one neighborhood information site
This is very early in beta apparently, but if they can make it work the way it advertises it could be an amazing tool. A neighborhood information aggregator.

Meaning of WTF! explained
This is what the fuck? defined.
Elizabeth Kucinich and Dennis Kucinich
Reading her bio I am guessing she could be genuine with this guy.. but really? Think of those two naked? Now think of those two having sex.
Keep doing that to lose half your body fat for the summer.
Papparazo hunter becomes the hunted!!!
Gawker commenters
My gateway into the blog world was Gawker media by way of Defamer.com. Gawker.com has had its ups and downs in quality of content. The commenters, however, have never left their A-game at home.
Rough day! Heath’s dead, we all feel bad for caring/not caring/profiting wildly, the stock market’s still crazy, and Bill Clinton is shouting a lot. But hey, a guy turned his iPhone into a...
WatchOOOOH BOY… Another Scientology “orientation” video. I know most religions are based on some major bullshit but this breaks new ground. It’s not even creepy it is funny! This is like the best SNL sketch never produced.
Woops! Things got a little too soon at this Best Buy in San Diego…
Sad day and a long way from paradise.
Life draining weather. Inspiration squashing climate. Love smothering vistas.
Why do people inhabit frozen locations?
WatchI just want this to happen. Just want this to happen.
Influences
A thought hit me about influences. We all talk about the influences of overt substances like booze or drugs. But what about the influences that hang over us in everyday situations?
How about being under the influence being male?
Under the influence of being an Asian woman?
Under the influence of being a gay man?
Under the influence of being from the country? From the city?
Under the...
It's Always Fucking Funny On This Show
This is like the tenth time I have caught up on a show that is amazing. I recall first watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia a few years ago and not getting into it.
Well, I am a fucking idiot. The show is hilarious. It’s wrong. It’s offensive. It’s perfect. On a no budget (rumor is approx 40k/episode… about the cost of one actor’s wardrobe on a network show)...

The strike conditions today...
summed up by the L.A. Times…So the stage is set for a disaster. If the directors accept a lowball new-media deal, the Writers Guild and SAG may well reject it as a template, and pattern bargaining would break down. SAG’s position would embolden the Writers Guild leadership to maintain the strike, despite pressure from some writers to end the walkout. Come June 30, when the actors deal...
One of my previous employers.
One of my previous employers has turned out to be run by two criminals with a background more salacious than most of the films their company handled the payroll for.
To say I am shocked doesn’t do it. I am fucking FLOORED by this.
Ladies and gentleman, I present you Mr. Cruise.
I credit my early morning premonition about actors and liars to this revelation about the inner workings of the Church of Scientology and Mr. Cruise.
Everybody knew he was batshit but to see it kind of makes you want to forget about it all with some Scientology brainwashing device.
The only thing to keep in mind is that you can find this crazy shit out in the open in any mosque or evangelical...
Actors
Something just struck me about actors. I have never been able to understand how people could lie so openly and honestly for a profession. Yeah policians lie, and so does everybody. But actors just lie.
That is all they do for a job. Is lie. they fake emotion, fake words, and fake expression… for a living. Some of them are passionate even.
Even athletes have to have a talent that lies...
LA Taco
I like the vibe of this site. Center’s around LA’s tacos, the good ones. Also covers the various neighborhoods and underground places throughout the city. Who doesn’t love tacos?
