McQueen
Photo: John Dominis/TIME & LIFE Pictures
Steve McQueen seemed like quite an amazing man, he lived fast and died young. LIFE.com recently presented amazing never-before-seen photos of "The King of Cool" from 1963. Check it...

Lincoln
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."
-- Abraham Lincoln
Titus Andronicus: A More Perfect Union [XL]
Like Desaparecidos but without effeminate Conor Oberst's self awareness.

Melville
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off -- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
-- Herman Melville (Moby Dick)
Jesus Candles
I have a deep admiration for Religious - Mexican Art. The colors are amazing and the art itself can be absolutely bizarre, like baby jesus popping his head out of the bottom of Maria dress like BOOYA Jesus is here! You used to be able to get Jesus candles for $0.99 but now they are commonly about $1.29 at any grocery store.

Fuck This Blog
Writing a blog entry. Will this change me? Will I start interrupting other people's conversations saying things like, " That's so funny! I'm going to put that in the blog which I write!"? I hope not because I fucking hate people like that. Actually, that was a lie, i don't know anyone who writes in a blog. Except for crazy militia people or people that that shoot up public spaces. Shit! Am I going to turn in to one of them?!?!? Actually i kind of hope so. They live with such purpose. They have everything figured out. Though eventually the news outlets inevitably find their blogs and make them seem like cartoon crazy. That's not cool, i mean they are nuts no doubt about it, but that seems like judging the person you cut off in traffic who flips you off, then tailgates you as needing anger management. Like obviously you didn't catch them at their finest. Also by the time the news gets to the crazy person's blog the FBI has taken it down so you have to trust that CNN they aren't making them seem more nuts. I'm sure when I finally make the news their quote from this entry will look something like: More on that work place shooting, the unidentified man kept a hate filled blog which included dark thoughts such as "...i fucking hate people...shoot up public spaces..." The man called himself," ...cartoon crazy" and thought he needed,"...anger management..." So its seems as if my future is paved for me now as either the annoying fuckface or shoot em up psycho. Either way I hope you enjoy it...or not, fuck you! I know where you live, did i tell you about my blog????
