Ég er frá Ameríku, d'accord?

The only way true, unadulterated hate manifested for me as a 6-year-old child.

Aaliyah. [AND TIMBALAND; this guy…representing VA always!]

I’ve been hypercritical of this genre of music for as long as I can remember, however, it’s been over 13 years since this song was released and I still love it. That said -and I’m a bit late here, September 29th of this year marked the 10th anniversary of her death. In other words, relevancy here is bolstered.

Enjoy.

Freedom and change is possible for Libya. The death of GADDAFI (His first name was Moammar, by the way).

HEY, EVERYBODY, SORRY ABOUT THAT MINOR EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANCISCO!

I don’t know what to say other than that it’s completely heartbreaking and pathetic that Gaddafi’s death and (hopefully) the long-awaited freedom of the Libyan people is NOT a trending topic on Twitter and NOT something that I have seen talked about on Facebook. So much for “worldwide concern expressed via social networks.” [Maybe Tumblr will be a successful medium here?]

Been stuck in my head for months now…but I’m fine with that. Yukimi is so stinking cute.

You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film. … There is something very distorted about this reality that they’ve created, which is that it is OK to torture women on screen. Any kind of violence towards women in a sexual scenario is fine. But give a woman pleasure? No way. Not a chance. That’s pornography.
