A New Earth



"There's no conflict between this teaching, which is purely spiritual and religion because if you go deep enough into your own religion we all get to the same place."

I Love Animal YouTube Videos =)

ENJOY! =)

Reality TV: Love It or Hate It; It's still takes up too much of your free time!

I've heard people say that we watch reality TV bc watching vile characters like that make us feel better about ourselves, but that holier than thou attitude doesn't really resonate with me.

I think there's something about vice and negative human traits that draws us in. Even as we try to banish that dark side of us, we seem to relish seeing it in those removed from us. It's kinda scary how much we secretly embrace the dark side of human nature by indulging in these guilty pleasures.

So I admit over this break I watched some really trashy TV shows. It was really funny and entertaining though.

Here's a hilarious clip, poking fun at the Brazilian model's command of English (I don't feel bad about posting it because Rodiney himself posted this clip on his YouTube account):

Les Miserables, 25th Anniversary Concert

I'm not a fan of that many musicals but I have to admit that this classic is a gem in the rough.

I watched the 25th anniversary version performed at the O2 in London.

I'm Unique.

‎"We feel our best when we're 'just right,' part of a group that is specialized enough to set us apart from the masses but still definable.

We want to stand out from the majority, but usually not in a way that makes us part of a glaring and lonely minority. Sometimes, we may not choose the tie we would really like to wear for fear of where that would put us in relation to others.

We are all trying to find the place on the bell curve where we feel most comfortable. If we have to bend the truth to get there, so be it.

[..]

This doesn't mean that we're all conformists in denial. It means that we regularly fail to recognize that others' thoughts and behaviors are just as complex and varied as our own. rather than being alone in a crowd of sheep, we're all individuals in sheep's clothing."

-Sheena Iyengar, from The Art of Choosing

A Different Take on Rural American Life...

From Main Street by Sinclair Lewis (Carol follows her husband from metropolitan St. Paul to a little town called Gopher Prairie, Minnesota):

The reason, Carol insisted, is not a whiskered rusticity. It is nothing so amusing!

It's an unimaginatively standardized background, a sluggishness of speech and manners, a rigid ruling of spirit by the desire to appear respectable. it is contentment...the contentment of the quiet dead, who are scornful of the living for their restless walking. It is negation canonized as the one positive virtue. It is the prohibition of happiness. It is slavery self-sought and self-defended. It is dullness made God.

A savorless people, gulping tasteless food and sitting afterward, coatless and thoughtless, in rocking chairs prickly with inane decorations, listening to mechanical music, saying mechanical things about the excellence of Ford automobiles, and viewing themselves as the greatest race in the world.

I Love LOST



That's the way you live this life. Each day, one at a time. Now, if you spend your whole life worryin' about something that's gonna happen, before you know it, your life's over and you spent an awful lot of it just worryin'.

[Children's laughter in the background.]

Hey, you heard that? Now that's what life's all about. Laughin' and lovin' each other. And knowin' that people aren't really gone when they die. We have all the good memories to sustain us until we see 'em again.

"I Hate My Job" MV

This video is kind of a mindfuck...masculine, business up top and feminine, toned legs down below.
(Warning: Don't watch this if you're offended by seeing gay men in gender-bending roles.)

This video is already viral on Tumblr but hasn't become a widespread internet meme...yet.




If you watched it already, this song is probably stuck in your head now...sorry bout that.
