It took 1 min 47 seconds for my memory to become host to a horror that will never go | Caitlin Moran – Times Online

So what’s the point here? “Oh dear, I witnessed a terrible thing and I wish I could go back to my witless ignorant existence”. Because that’s what I’m seeing here. We need to be aware of the horrors that happen every day. Not to cripple us with terror, but to help us sustain our perceived value of life.

Any time you throw a shroud over something and pretend it isn’t there, it’ll rot under that shroud and become worse and worse to clean up. Problems must be confronted head-on. The first step is acknowledging them.

Futureshipwreck. A very VERY well written guide to various recent developments among the fields that can be instruments of the Avant-garde. Basically THIS is what is important, because THIS is a living photograph of tomorrow’s aesthetic. Art, theatre, music and film are but a few topics regularly addressed here. And its FUNNY! It’s as entertaining as it is eclectic. Highly recommended.

Portraits of performers that no one living today has seen perform.

Pictured here is the great Vaslav Nijinsky. And although he is remembered as the greatest dancer who ever lived, we will never know, because he never allowed his dancing to be filmed. His reasoning? He didn’t want to cast a shadow over dancers who would succeed him. That makes him a hell of a guy, but he was also known to be completely bat-shit level crazy, so who knows. I mean just look at him. You think that getup is some kind of costume? Fuck no. He’d go to the fucking mall wearing that, and hang outside the food-court smoking Clove cigarettes.

Don’t eat the bread in Florida.

I’ll probably be getting some grief over that one from some Floridians, but you know what? Fuck it!

I’ve been getting the holy hell scared out of me on the highway by Florida drivers nearly every day, for almost as long as I’ve been driving. Worst goddamn drivers in the whole goddamn country. And I’ve been EVERYWHERE. Whenever the guy next to you suddenly cuts you off and then proceeds to cut off three other cars in this fucking suicidal Mad Max maneuver, only to get ahead of the one fucking car that was in front of him in his original lane, and then he imediatly takes the next exit off the highway. Guess what? FLORIDA FUCKING PLATES. I don’t even know how many Florida drivers nearly drove me to following them to their destination and braining them with the claw end of my crowbar, or at least give them a vigorous teabagging.

But seriously… What the fuck Florida? What the fuck do you have to do to get a license down there? What is it fucking mailed to you when you turn 16? Jesus Fuck! So yeah. Don’t eat the fucking bread in Florida ha ha ha. Because the people there are fucking assholes behind the wheel. Pricks.
