"Fuck the bartender, I'll get this shit myself." Amsterdam would come with something like this. Such a fresh concept. Welcome Minibar. Instead of waiting for your drinks in a crowded bar, you go to the spot check in with the concierge and throw them your credit card and ID, the bartender throws you a key to your own personal fridge and you and your friends can sip and celebrate at your pleasure. Floor plan and design created by design group Concrete. Wet Wet.

In efforts to get us all on the same page. The Clipse are Malice & Pusha T. They're everyones favorite. Now. Recently they came out with their clothing brand Play Cloths, which shits on Sean John, but isn't sniffing Pastelle. However, the fact that 1 year in The Clipse are dropping fly ass accessories is noteworthy. The Dirty Duffel Bag. An ostrich finish, with enough pockets for every neccessity you ever have. Wet.

What compels you about art: It has the ability to change the way people look at the world. It helps us redefine our lives without violence. Art reminds me of the peaceful protests Martin Luther King Jr preached about. He fought for equal rights through non-violence. I think art is able to change the world without using force.
Who are some of your favorite artists:Kiki Smith, Joseph Cornell, Cindy Sherman, Jill Greenberg, Weegee, Sophie Calle, David Hockney, Lori Nix, William Eggleston- All these artists have influenced me in different ways. I enjoy a varity of art (photography, painting, installation, sculpture, and performance) These artists have changed me in some way and have therefore helped make me into the person I am today.

"All the geniuses with computers love to tell you you can talk to people all over the world if you're on line. Who wants to? You want to talk to people all over the world? People don't talk to the guy next door. . . . People are standing in an elevator -- do you talk to anybody? A guy calls you up and he's got the wrong number -- do you start a conversation? Do you ever say, "Sure glad you got the wrong number!" You're gonna holler, "You got the wrong number!" And God forbid he calls you again: you think he's a stalker, you call the police..."

“ Jordan , for three – AND IT’S GOOD!” I’ve said it and you’ve said it, as we fire another piece of wadded up paper towards the trashcan. We all love MJ, but that’s not the point here. We love sports, a lot.
To start, we have this strange infatuation with sport stats. People rattle stats off as if they are solving a metaphysical quandary, or like they are doing the business of splitting the atom. We listen to them intently – “In 2007, Kobe became the youngest player to reach 20,000 points. Hank Aaron used to hold the record for most career home runs in the Major Leagues with 755, until he was surpassed by Barry Bonds. In the 2007-2008 season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 42 goals. A-Rod signed the richest baseball contract in history at $275 million.” Blah, blah, blah. If you aren’t betting on the games, why bother memorizing these stats? It’s like you have to know stats to justify that you are a sports fan. Can’t I just enjoy watching the game? I’m a fan of you shutting up about field goal percentages – that’s what I’m a fan of.
I was sitting around the other day and began thinking about the playoff hockey games that were going to be aired later in the night. I didn’t stop there, I picked up my phone and started reading predictions, injury lists, line orders, and so on. I did it like it mattered. I guess what it comes down to is not whether or not it matters, but how much it matters. Does social justice matter? How about poverty? But damn, those Red Wings look good on paper.
We talk about teams like they are our teams or as if we are a part of them. “Let’s go boys!” we scream. And when they win we say, “We did it.” Personally, I didn’t do jack-diddly. I drank a beer and barbecued. The only sweat I broke came from the flames of the coals. But anyway, “We did it.”
Game's on, gotta go.

The Postman Butterfly also known as Heliconius melpomene lives in the jungles of Central America. In its larval state as a spiny caterpillar, it is a voracious eater with a preference for the passionflower vine. The adult butterfly feeds on this vine's protein-rich pollen as well as nectar, and the added protein gives it a longer lifespan than most butterflies, usually from six to nine months. Because the passionflower is a highly poisonous plant, female butterflies lay their eggs on its youngest leaves, which contain less poison. As the larvae grow, they gradually absorb some of the poison and become immune to it.
Twelve per cent of those killed by suicide bombings, mainly the tool of militant Sunni groups, were children and 16 per cent were females. One in five (21 per cent) of those killed by car bombs, used by both Shia and Sunni fighters, was a child; one in four (28 per cent) was a woman.
