kanye style bloggin

James Powder known for his laser “graffiti” arrested in Beijing for attempting to make more ‘art’.
Instead of paint he uses basically projectors to paint on large buildings and places like the brooklyn bridge. Apparently had an exhibit in the MoMa but really..for that? I guess moma standards have lowered.
Seriously…trying to tag up a building in a communist country?
Maybe those fumes have clouded his judgement. The chinese govt is not to be messed with. They will make you disappear and claim they never saw you.
After going to china I saw only one tag on a wall…and it wasnt even really a tag, it was like a self portrait which was only half done…probably because the govt cruised by and took the guy away in a sniper van. . . never to be seen again.
something gross comes this way
So I sat down on the train and a pretty unassuming but tubby man sat down next to me. For the rest of the half hour of the trip this guy continually, I mean CONTINUALLY stuck his fingers into his mouth and sucked on them.
Enough so that he was making a slurping noise. At one point I got so grossed out I shoved myself into the corner. At that point I heard him rip out a piece of newspaper and then stick it in his mouth. Yes really.
As I was about to throw up, I noticed something hanging from his hip…his work tag — Bank of America.
PFff…..figures.
Ed from BOA you are gross.
my sassy girl
So everyone’s used to the US stealing Asian flicks and just substituting some famous whiteys for them instead (the mailbox movie with keanu, the departed, that scary movie with the girl and the boy that haunts people…etc).
Now this….My sassy girl. Check out the trailer, cause ok things like this make sense with those goofy koreans and the soft humor, but this kinda things where some guy gets beat up by some girl 6234324 times doesnt quite have the same effect.
Mission…..impossible?
So…after looking at my latest credit card statement …which would pay for one month rent in 2br luxury building in NYC …
I decided to go on a mission. No spending on anything for one month, 30 days.
So from now until August 26th, I will keep it my goal to spend nothing.
Right now I have about $29 in my pocket and that is all I will use for food and going out.
Exceptions - Money to travel and any extraneous emergencies.
I will also be open to donations of foods, but lets face it, I dont eat much anyways.
random thought…
why is like 90% of people on Americas best dance crew filipino / asian ? but mostly filipino…the minority asian.
coming from Rootgerz this is a pretty normal occurance but I dont recall anyone in ‘you got served’ being asian…let alone flip.
Rogue Status = UBS?
Skateboard company Rogue Status (famous for their gun show tee and spokesperson Rob Dyrcek) came out with a new logo

which suspiciously like some faultering bank…..something about you and your mom or you and someone else…..

i mean thats just downright lazy ….and dare I say ugly?
perhaps I’m just prejudice due to who theyre copying but seriously UBBS?
Why not pick some JPmorgan logo instead or something .
being fake busy makes you fake busy

You dont realize how much time is spent on nonsense online until you cut yourself off from it.
NONSENSE!
finding an apt
finding an apt is a really annoying process which goes by quicker than you want it to.
If you ever go inside Duke’s and get some food, its that same feeling. Like you know you’re overpaying but the place it so packed it must be your own standards that are too low. “$12 for a sandwich? that’s so last year. $15 is the new $12.”
Then you leave and reality hits you. You just spent $20 on a lunch which did not include a T-bone steak of any kind. . . wtf….
Typical studio in manhatten goes for $2200 - $2500 on the low end if you’re lucky + utilities.
$2300 + $30 (cable) + $50 (electricity) = 2380 x 12 = $27,600 / year.
times 3 years and you have already given away 100 grand.
sadness ensues.
that feeling the moment you step out of Duke’s.
pure sadness and hate for self for having gone through with it in the first place.
