another reason to buy cigars.

...and I don't even like cigars

Right?

This guy is ridiclous.

and the skeleton dances off.

In the spirit of the recent Halloween festivities, 

here's a video of light art
- more specifically a skeleton dancing and prancing.

feeling lonely- social media junkies

So as a self admitting social media junkie

This video is really a slap in the face to say the least.

As a person that's also really into relationships and friendships

I can only testify to the truth of this video. 

After going to the cottage last weekend, 

it is ever more apparent that quality time away 

from screens and with some real folks is not 

only refreshing but rejuvenating.

Hug & Call a friend today kids!

 

handmade.

We live in a world where everything can be mass produced,
and pretty much everything is made by computers and machines.

With that being said, there is an awe in the beauty of handmade pieces.

They have an "aura" if you will and just thinking a human could

be as precise and even more delicate than laser is incredible.

 'Made in Brooklyn' is an ongoing video series by Brooklyn-based 

photographer and director Dustin Cohen.

This series is a celebration and showcase of an (almost) lost artistry, 

the soul in handmade goods.

''I think there's been this resurgence within people to seek out things ‘Made in America’. Even more so here in New York City, consumers seem to really enjoy objects that have a ‘Made in New York’ or ‘Made in Brooklyn’ tag. People are drawn to things that are created by an actual person and not a mysterious factory thousands of miles away. Getting to buy a product directly from the person making it, interacting with them, it's all part of the experience and people take a lot away from that.''

  ''Between online sites like Etsy, and places like The Brooklyn Flea and Renegade Craft Fair, there are more opportunities for these craftspeople and artisans to directly connect with potential customers and I think this has opened up the door for a lot of new businesses to set up shop here in Brooklyn. In conjunction with that you have the family run businesses that have been here in Brooklyn for generations and despite wars, recessions, and globalization, are able to stay open and make it work. Both kinds of stories are incredibly interesting to me and I think it's something that is worth shining some light on"

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE!

messy room.

don't even know why I think this is cute.

Relatable? 

Probably.

marry you.

If there is anything that is engineered to warm your heart right up

it has to be PROPOSALS!

Having been reminded so many fantastical

love stories of my friends through wedding bells & proposals

I gotta say that I must be one of THE biggest

suckers for that white fiasco

&& I can prove that with the tears that happened 

just watching these proposals.

The modern age with technology and creative juices 

that can be executed at our fingertips 

even PROPOSALS are getting more and more savy and creative.

It's true that when proposing on the JumboTron at Times Square used to be a big deal

(especially when you see it in Hollywood films)
the new bar is at the very LEEEEEEEAST a flash mob at Union Station
(as per 'Friends With Benefits')

 

“I think everyone can think of something creative if they really search deep enough. And sometimes, it will come in the most unexpected inspirations.”

-- koodos to using iMovie effects for this one :P

EXTRA PROPS
to Bruno Mars
for killing the headache to finding the perfect song.

PICK IT UP BOYS.
things are getting cray cray.

take it slow.

I was just in the middle of planning the rest of my life as a dog-lady
(since i really dont like cats)
I was hit by a newsfeed video that made me smile.

This gave me that glimmer of hope that maybe
chivalry ain't dead & slow dances (and slow jams)
aren't just a thing of the past anymore.

Just gotta find that someone to be cheesy nuff for it all.

Cause let's be real,

cheesy things are only awesome when you like the cheese maker
...
cause if not, you'd probably wanna barf.

You probably wanna watch this 7 min + 5 second long

On a day like April Fools.
This video is here to remind us how messed in the head we all actually are.

Like legit its absurd.
The joys that we get out of destruction & agony on others is CRAY-ZAYY.

"There were many nights last spring that I got very little sleep, I would often head out to shoot around midnight and get back home around six in the morning. The image sequences took hours to capture."

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

It's about psychology.
It's about mental and spatial manipulation.

Ya.
Take this experiment and multiply it's thought process by 43289432.

That's about 1/2 of what we do.
