I'm just full of love today.

Restaging classic Hollywood with African models. All the shots are gorgeous but, of course, this is my favorite.



And this movie review completely hit my sweet spot. That Awkward Moment : a 'Romantic Comedy' in which Zac Efron Plays a Sociopath I love that the reviewer plays it completely straight.

:lol: I know very little about this movie, just snippets from previews here and there, and apparently I had its number right out the gate.

I think it was when they were like, "Finally! A film dares to tell the story of a bunch of hapless white guys, their one black friend, and their awkward but somehow successful attempts to land a valuable accessory girlfriend!"

Read the full story,
why we won't be painting over this - BAGBY *BEER CO.

Fuck Cancer indeed!
4 KennyHere is where the story takes an astounding turn. It was the next day, Tuesday – about 1:00. We were gearing up for our weekly construction meeting when I looked out the window of our on-site office, and noticed a few people looking through the construction fence, and attempting to photograph this tribute to Kenny – from about 60 feet away. Without hesitation, I approached the trio. I asked them if they knew the story behind the art, did they know Kenny or the artist. Right away, instinctively, they denied knowing anything, that they had just heard about it, that they were just driving by…no way, I thought. I pressed them. I assured them that we weren’t interested in punishing whoever had done it, that we merely wanted to know the story, to find out more, to see if there isn’t an opportunity to prepare a tribute to Kenny that can be more permanent, more visible…and that’s when one of the women started crying. Her eyes welled up, and in a hushed and broken voice she uttered “he’s my husband”. I was speechless.

As expected, twitter blew up last night with racist/xenophobic comments about Coke's multi-lingual America the Beautiful commercial last night. I hope that this is bloggers/the media highlighting an area of ugliness and making it seem worse than it is (which is why I'm not providing any links). Comments that start with "I'm not racist, but ..." or "[Ethnic slur]s are not American!" with the point being that any language other than English is some unclean, impure, un-American tongue. Allow me to retort without citations:

For a long time people thought of "purity" as an attribute. Racial purity, ethnic purity, linguistic purity, it didn't matter, but it was equated with superiority. But this is false. The idea of racial/ethnic/linguistic superiority has been debunked for half a century, at least. It's the nation that can most easily adapt to a changing world, that has a multitude of ideas and solutions that will be the "greatest." People from all over the world, for hundreds of years, have brought different languages and customs to the US. For all of our other problems, and there are many and they are serious, the idea of America as a melting pot has been the US's greatest attribute economically, culturally, and politically. And for the people who wrote those nasty things to not understand this saddens me deeply. Not because they've offended people, but because they're blind to the single most beautiful thing our country has -- its people.

This should be the motto for this century. Embrace the change, welcome it, make it. In so many ways our choices are either to cling to business as usual until reality slaps the living shit out of us, or, accept changing circumstances, anticipate them, and adjust our attitudes and behavior accordingly.

A nine-year-old boy in Texas had been saving his money for months to buy a Playstation 4, but then Hector Montoya saw something that changed his priorities, according to TV station KTVT.

Montoya almost had enough money to buy his dream toy, when he saw a sad story on the news about a mother and daughter who died in a house fire, the station reported.

It turned out, their home didn’t have a smoke detector.

“It really hurts my heart to see people die in fires,” Montoya said.

So, the Grand Prairie boy took all of the money he’d saved and bought almost a hundred smoke detectors, the station reported.

According to KTVT, the local fire department helped Montoya install the devices in the homes of seniors and others in need.

Word of the boy’s generosity inspired others to donate to the cause.
