Matt Hardy’s “I’m rich and stuff so fuck you” gimmick is FANTASTIC.
This is fantastic.
Mobstr - The Story (2012)
The first installation of The Story was a simple “Once upon a time…” The artist expected maintenance crews to paint over his graffiti. As soon as the wall was cleaned, Mobstr proceeded with the second installation, which was then also painted over, and so on until the narrative was completed. His intention was to create an indirect “teamwork” between two opposing societal forces exemplified by street artist and street maintenance crew.

The New Bed.

So, the first day of this chronicle of banality and I have been woken to clear out the underside of my bed, because a new one is on the way over.
Long story short, I realised recently that my bed was in fact broken [I’ll pause here as you make the inevitable dirty jokr] and have since been in dire need of a replacement. My Saturday, which I had hoped to consist largely of playing Madden and/or having lunch prior to going out for Dan’s birthday, will now be spent wondering how the miraculous array of crap I have came to be under the bed.
To those out there contemplating replacing their bed, don’t bother. No amount of glorious comfort can be worth this hassle.
Items found so far include:
-6 Effects Pedals
-Old-school headphones, and not in a good way
-Several Q magazine issues, c. 2005-2006
-Couple of CDs I thought had been lost.
-About a million guitar picks
-Football boots.
-A telescope. Why do I own a telescope?
-Keyboard case [curiously sans keyboard, hmm]
-A series of video tapes, with titles such as ‘WWF Smackdown, Dec. 2000’, ‘MTV Live: The Strokes, RHCP’ and one that just says ‘Jam’
If only I could find my camera to capture half of this.

Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests - being arrested by the NYPD.
Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD’s wrongful use of violence against peaceful protesters.
From what I have seen, Ray Lewis’ conduct defines honor, bravery, and dignity.
There is a media blackout on images of his participation in the protest, and on his arrest:
It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere. I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph. One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer:

Make this viral and they will come.
Ray Lewis gets 2 posts this morning, because this needs to be seen. I’m not even sure why, but this pair of photos made me cry hysterically.
oh my god. so much props to this man. this country has turned into utter fucking insanity.
