Completely addicted to this show. Got caught up and patiently awaiting season 3.

Love the lyrics

Hurts like Heaven (Coldplay)


Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold

Written up in marker on a factory sign
'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine'
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold

See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart
Take the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
Still I won't let go
Still I won't let go

Of You
Ooohooh

(...)

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven

On every street, every car, every surface a name
Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing and saying
'Don't let them take control
No, we won't let them take control'



Yes, I feel a little bit nervous,
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax,
How come their out to get us
How come they're out when they don't know the facts

So on concrete canvas under cover of dark
On a concrete canvas, I go making my mark
Armed with the spray can soul
I'll be armed with the spray can soul

You
Ooohooh

Oh, you
Ooohooh

Yes, you
You use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven

Woho-ooh
Woho-oooh

It's true
When you
Use your heart as a weapon
It hurts like heaven

"@evajackie I hope u can read English, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That's your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together,with the intent of abasement, that made no sense..."***** B---H"?!....Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you...F--K YOU!!!"

Word

Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, see that thou, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb. Success to the successful thistle sifter.

Why I live in LA

A Day in California from Ryan Killackey on Vimeo.

Despite what people say and think about LA/Cali....
The landscape is unbelievably beautiful
everyday

I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but
such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to
earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have
been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor
to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I
honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to
be earned.

David Suzuki is the greatest Canadian that has ever lived.
He is one of the world's most passionate environmentalists.
I grew up watching his tv show the The Nature of Things
like most Canucks. I've been starting my mornings
with listening to him speak, to re inspire
a perspective that I've forgotten while being busy being silly little me.

What I'm Wearing

To pick up milk, toilet paper and toothpaste from the corner store

Hi!

My favorite toy of all time is the Mon Chi Chi. I had a few when I was young and took them to school for show and tell one day. They ended up being stolen by a schoolmate and the memory of my loss devastated me for a while. Even when I was 20 I could still hear the 5 year old in me crying because the situation had never been resolved. I shared my unfortunate childhood recollection with a few friends and we laughed about it. Soon after, on a birthday or a Christmas I always received a Mon Chi Chi from a close friend. I now have a collection of Mon Chi Chi's that no one is allowed to play with and my inner 5 year old has stopped tearing. I also have a collection of rubber ducks,
nobody can touch those either.

Black History: Saul Williams

American poet.Emcee.Musician.Actor.
Saul Williams have carved a unique identity for himself, his fans and you and I. His works break walls and leap boundaries while holding truths and the roots of Black culture in hand. My favorite of Saul's offerings is the album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust(2007). So provocative it practically spits in your face and the production that really delivers a punch to the head in
(yes this is me complimenting).
