Dust Breedings
Confused? So am I. I have no idea what this film is, or what it means, but I can't stop watching it. Trippy doesn't begin to describe it. Enough talk, just press play, you'll enjoy it... I promise.

Rabbit (2005)
Rabbit (2005)
This short film about a girl and boy who discover a magical idol inside the belly of a rabbit... what follows can only be described as a comically sadistic. The film, created by Run Wrake studios has one a good number of awards, a list of which can be found on their website. This film is well worth the nine minutes. Enjoy.

You think you have problems? Well this sarcastic oil soaked bird has news for you, as stated in his bio: I'm sick of your bellyaching! That, and finding petrol dispersants in my throat pouch. To whoever created this twitter account, kudos to you! The BP Oil Spill situation is a very unfortunate one, and for anyone that cares about the state of our planet ecologically, it's quite a downer. Offering the gift of humor as solace is great, and through twitter no less... awesome idea!

A Summer Smoke Session (2010)
A Summer Smoke Session
(dir D'arby Rose)
A friend of mine shot this short of one of her summer sessions. I really dig the whole California vibe of it all; it makes me miss life — and the 'agriculture' — back in the Bay.
Words to the wise: Don't Drink & Drive, Ash Before You Pass,
and always remember, Friends Through Thick and Thin Until the End.
music: There There (The Boney King of Nowhere) - Radiohead

Video: Baby I'm Yours - Breakbot
Newly introduced to Breakbot, I gotta say, I'm enamored with the frenchman's sound. It's a mix of funk and electronic music; I wanna get up and dance to this so bad. I can't quite pinpoint what other artists I can liken him to, but I guess that's a good thing, shows he's original. I will say however, if Justice and Stevie Wonder had audiophilic relations, their offspring would sound something like Breakbot.
[Hey! My ears, my hypothetical musical inception; don't judge, lol]
The guy's debut single, Baby I'm Yours is infectious, and here's the part that will really get you... its video was done entirely by hand. Let me clarify, approximately 2000 watercolor paintings were fashioned by artist Irina Dakava, just for this video. The result is a visual masterpiece of which I find, quite fascinating.
Kilian Martin: A Skate Escalation
Not long ago, I watched Lords of Dogtown (2005) for the first time. The film about skate legends Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva, and Ray Adams gave me a new appreciation for the sport. Skating, but more specifically skateboarding is truly an art; watching the moves and the precision is so beautiful. Directed by Brett Novak, this short film gets me really excited, and seriously wishing to be there to witness skater Killian Martin in action.

Magnificent Obsession
eta:
The photo captions apparently tell a very different tale... no political messages here.
Apparently, Grace Coddington styled this shoot.

The Madbury Club
I came across this collective of free-thinkers through my newsfeed (I hate facebook, but can't deny its benefits). I must say, I am very impressed with what this group of, I'm assuming, New Yorkers are creating. I'm not sure even how to appropriately describe them, as they have created an identity not based in labels, so I'll simply quote their website:
By combining the efforts of some of the most talented young photographers and writers across the globe, The Madbury Club is able to publish print inspired content in a revolutionary online format. Unrestricted by any one particular subculture or movement, Madbury crosses all boundaries to bring you, the reader, work of the utmost quality. Enjoy, and begin to consider yourself well read.

The Seventeen Magazine Project
One teenage girl from Pennsylvania sets out to live the life of a Seventeen Magazine girl. Armed with her Jun/Jul 2010 issue, Jamie K implements all the beauty tips, adopts the styles, and practices the lifestyle changes that the glossy encourages. This social experiment aims to, in the bloggers own words, explore a dying aspect of teenage culture. Her entries are both thought provoking and comical; she doesn't take herself too seriously. Jamie shines a light on how ass-backwards Seventeen Magazine is, but not in one of those "you're counter-feminist, so you must be evil" sort of ways, so it stays fun for those "I'm not a feminist but..." types.
Sleeping Betty (2007)
I stumbled upon this animated short written and directed by Claude Clotier while channel surfing late last night, and I must say I'm in love. The film is a retelling of the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, if the princess was a narcoleptic woman named Betty from Montreal. At just over nine minutes, this adorable short has won various awards last year, and rightly so. Gotta love the Sundance Channel.

One Love Challenge: Week 1
The Challenge: Talk to a stranger. It's as simple as that. Have a conversation with a stranger; sometimes, a smile, or a word, can turn someone's day completely around.
Lately, I've been finding my thoughts going back to the 2004 episodic film Crash. The seemingly unrelated stories that tackle the issues of race left me with this lesson: we never truly know the stories that lie behind the mask. Daily we encounter dozens of people, unaffected by whatever joys or sorrows that may exist within their lives. Imagine what we could learn from one another if we just stopped and chatted. Imagine making small talk with the pimpled barista who makes your coffee every morning, or the homeless woman who sells newspapers outside of the metro station, or the man who works in the cubicle right next to you who's name you still do not know, despite working next to him for the past three years.
