All About My Vag- Well Not Mine But, Alright.

I feel like I've been on the internet forever. I remember all the stupid websites I used to read and message boards I used to be a part of...I was a jerk.

So when I stumbled on this site All About My Vagina (which I used to recommend to friends when I was about 14 or 15 lol) I was blown away at how few of the sites I visited are actually still up! Its always nice to see that she's still maintained to keep the layout and look of it simple. And now there's a STORE! Maybe educators should explore this site during sex ed rather than those awful overrated videos and lectures.

This one is definitely worth the shout out. A highly entertaining [and even educational!] read, I highly recommend it!

I'm Absolutely Certain I Would Have Had Nightmares For All Of Eternity.

Check out these original concept drawings for the Joker in The Dark Knight

When I came across these, I nearly shit myself. These look like they should fit a character in a horror film rather than a blockbuster summer hit that children are most likely to see. Stay tuned! Not only are you going to be haunted by the sudden death of the cast member but now when you look at him you'll be pushed that much further off the edge!

I'm glad they went the path they did.

50% Rain, 100% Olympics.

Ladies and gentleman, weather control has arrived.

FOR THE OLYMPICS!

Because northeast Asia is such a high precipitation area in the Summer, there is a 50% chance of rain scheduled to soak Beijing on August 8th. But to prevent this tradgedy, Chinese scientists have uncovered a technique to place a so called "umbrella" over the Olympic stadium to preserve the magic of the opening ceremony. Too bad the magic couldn't be saved for the USA Women's Soccer Team.

More on China's plans to control the world save the Olympics...

Into The Wild: In Review

I just finished watching 'Into The Wild' and it is without a doubt one of the best movies I've seen recently. Running a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes had me glued the entire time once finished leaving me wanting more.

into the wild

It's the story of Chris McCandless, a college graduate and vagabond on a journey to find himself in the Alaskan wilderness. Portrayed by Emile Hirsch in the film, we watch as Chris aka Alexander Supertramp travels across the country and even into Mexico, destination Alaska, with special attention paid to the relationships he makes along the way.

Usually after watching a movie I always want to look up as many facts I can about behind the scene stories. So naturally as soon as the movie was over I googled the shit out of Christopher McCandless' story. He came from a wealthy background, "stable" home, and graduated with honors from Emory University. "Disillusioned" by material things in life and society, days after he graduated he destroyed all forms of identification, burned all his money (specifically donating $24,000 of his trust fund to charity), abandoned his car and just...took of.

I find the different perspectives of his story interesting. A lot of people idolize him and set off on journeys of their own, usually men around the same age and even take a picture in front of the infamous bus he passed away in. Then on the other hand, a lot of Alaskan natives and park rangers from the area call Chris' acts foolish and selfish, based on the reason that he could have saved his life had he known there was a man made pulley system to get him across the river that was significantly lower when he crossed only a few months earlier. Had he known this, he wouldn't have had to turn around.

Another issue that maybe was expected to come up after the film's release was the issue regarding the school bus. Residents of the area are pushing for the bus to be air lifted, and set down at the beginning of McCandless' trail rather than where it is now due to unwanted tourist attention.

A dreamer or a fool, the life of Chris McCandless that Emile Hirsch brought to life was truly amazing.
