the people of Kabul live a hard life with all the war and fighting around them at all times. follow the kids of Kabul as they escape from it all by skateboarding. a skatepark was amazingly built out there. in a society where woman aren't treated equally some girls break the mold and pick up a board too. the people aren't used to seeing skateboards so the older folks think it's some kind of magic. bewildered by stick flipping. hah. it's pretty moving seeing how skating can change their lives so significantly though. i hope they keep it up an are able to move out of there to live the fast and fun life of being a pro-skater. makes me feel like i take my obvious freedom but also my ability to skate around for granted.

Most Interesting Men in the World
nothing* says bad ass better than these three guys.
the first is the guy from the Dos Equis beer commercials- "the Most Interesting Man in the World". played by the actor Jonathan Goldsmith. he's been in a bunch of t.v. shows. all classics; including Knight Rider, CHiPs, MacGyver, the A-Team, Charlies Angels and the ever* so* bad ass Murder She Wrote (haha). he's also a New Yorker. woop woop! represent! anyone could have guessed the Most Interesting Man in the World was born in New York though. hahah
much like the Chuck Norris facts he has his own fan site with a following. check it out here.
speaking of which- Chuck Norris is an obvious pop culture icon of almighty manliness. solely because he's the originator of the Interesting Man Facts craze. popping up online in 2005 they're still being written. check out one of his* "facts" generators here.
and now... Chuck Norris reading Chuck Norris facts.
the newest addition to the Interesting Men's Club is John Jameson of Jameson Whiskey. more alcohol. only proves how good drinking is for you. it may make a man mean but apparently so interesting you get cool "facts" made about you. he has a site about how amazing he was but i don't know how authorized and official it is- look. in that case there is a cocktail recipe generator here. it'll come in handy. check out Jameson's new commercial explaining the greatness he was... aside from making a drink that "definitely does the job" (hehe).
Jameson breeds manliness in this* commercial. the length a man will go to for a drink... nothing can stop you. i know from experience.
...anymore "Interesting Men" you* would like to add?
i could think of a couple Jedis myself.

the girl of my dreams / the Walking Dead
my late halloween post-
Director Spencer Susser and co-writer David Michod put together this short film in 2008. recognize the girl in it? she's Mia Wasikowska; she played Alice in the 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland. i've been waiting for a buzz on if they were gonna make this a full length feature for a long time but sadly still nothing. maybe this is just one of those teasers that will never be. hope not. i won't sum up what goes on in this post-apocalyptic world because you should just watch it and find out. enjoy.
also:
the Walking Dead premiered last night and it was amazing. as my friends and i are fans of the comics we noticed slight differences but it's okay since it's all done by the same writers. do yourself a favor and watch this show. don't start watching it too late in the series. and* do yourself another favor and read the comics.

Falling with Style
these guys change up the hype of being the best at landing a buh-million tricks and make it more about how creative and fun you can make skating. definitely good skaters just having a good time and making you laugh. like falling with style. an inspiration to go out and stick flip some with your friends. also- they chose the Human Leagues- Together in Electric Dreams as the song for the video. damn good choice. love that song.

SiHKAL
Alexander Shulgin. the man who birthed Ecstasy in a test-tube. a guy who knows his way around drugs. his chemistry game is strong. single-handedly responsible for the majority of the drugs we take now. either legal or not. he's the reason we have an awesome time and why our brains are mush. a true guru and allowed to be one. he's got a plaque in his lab given to him by the government pretty much saying- leave this guy alone with these drugs and formulas. he's cool. check out this short documentary on him by Hamilton Morris.
