fear&loathing
“The only other important thing to be said about Fear & Loathing at this time is that it was fun to write, and that’s rare – for me, at least, because I’ve always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it’s a bit like fucking – which is fun only for amateurs. Old whores don’t do much giggling. Nothing is fun when you have to do it – over and over, again and again – or else you’ll be evicted, and that gets old. So it’s a rare goddamn trip for a locked-in, rent-paying writer to get into a gig that, even in retrospect, was a kinghell, highlife fuck-all from start to finish… So maybe there’s hope. Or maybe I’m going mad…”

43 today
If Kurt Cobain was alive he would be 43 years old and I would probably have had the opportunity to see him in concert.
Nevermind was actually one of the first CD’s I ever bought. I remember it was Saturday morning and my dad took me to the record store at the mall. Has we left the record store two cleaning ladies started a fight, pulling each others hair and rolling on the floor in front of us. I remember not feeling scared or worried and just looking at my dad and smiling.
I guess that was something Kurt Cobain tried really hard to do, smile. He didn’t quite make it in the end but I’m glad his music did so I’ll be listening to Nirvana for the next couple of weeks.
WhosGotTheFunk?
Gentleman Of Bakongo is a photobook by Daniele Tamagni that portaits the phenomenon of the African sapeurs, a clique of extraordinarily dressed dandies from the republic of the Congo. The book also served as inspiration for Paul Smith's Women Spring 2010. I'm glad to see the hobo look hasn't made its way to Congolese slumbs. Who's got the funk? They got the funk!

You know how people who own cats are always going on about how clean they are? I can't get my mind around this. I'm sure these people have seen cats on the streets, eating out of the trash. If you see a homeless guy eating of the trash, will you complement him on his personal hygiene? Will you take him home and feed him milk? A cat's idea of a shower consists on a saliva scrub with his tongue, not only is that disgusting as it is dangerous, this is why cats choke on fur balls, they literally risk it all for a little tongue action.Satan is a Biatch
I remember this guy in school who was lead guitar in a death-metal band but couldn’t really get it all out at concerts. K being the guy's name, or consonant if you prefer, had an inner ear condition that affected his balance, if he suddenly moved his head more than 66º either way, he would drop instantly on the floor. Never met a Satan worshiper quite so unfortunate. He is dead now, stabbed while fainting. He looked back, saw him coming and dropped out cold. His band later issued a limited edition tribute album named ‘Falling Into the Knife’, I heard it was quite good but couldn’t really bring myself to listen to it.
Oysters and Oranges
The other night in the news there was this piece on oyster farmers, the end went as follows: '...oysters together with Vitamin C can help fight off colds'. What the reporter probably doesn't know is that, so can much of anything else! The key factor in the equation is really Vitamin C, isn’t it?
The Hogan Effect
Have you ever noticed how in action flicks, whenever the bad guy has a girlfriend, she's always this I will tear your clothes apart in the sack semi-psychotic hottie?! You'd think with all those profits from evil-doings villains would be able to afford a decent tailor.
The Wizard of Menlo Park
Thomas Edison said invention is 1% of inspiration and 99% of transpiration, rumor has it you could smell him from miles away, especially after he'd been dead for a week.
PeteThePan
I never quite got the fascination with the underlying love drama in Peter Pan. What's so unusual about a fairy in love with a guy in tights anyway?
