*Donkey Kong is such a classic. Reminds me of the amazing King of Kong film.

Wow - this is perfect. Now I can stream all this shitty music whenever I have a party and want to dance mindlessly. How is it that dudes who listen to this stuff regularly always have chicks? Maybe it’s time for me to give up and just go for quantity over quality.

NYMag interviews Community’s Donald Glover

You wrote a lot for Tracy Morgan’s character. How was that?
The first day I met him, I had a small Afro, and he was like, “You know, if you want to get dreads, you should get your girl pregnant and put the placenta in your hair.” And I was like, “What the fuck … are you talking about?” But from that point on, I thought, Any brain that can make that up needs to be studied.

“Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody’s ever been in love with him. If things don’t change for him, he’s gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she’s gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won’t respect him, ‘cause you can’t respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn’t work.”

V for Vendetta Televised Speech

So I’m a little late this year. Normally I try to watch this film on November 5th. Today I watched it once again and came away with a revolution boost.

Let me explain. This is not a perfect movie and in no way am I promoting violence to attain liberty. All I am saying is that this story inspires hope. A hope that people will continue to stand against control, corruption, and evil.

No matter how far we fall into a state of apathy - there is always a hope, a spark of liberty in man’s soul that cannot be extinguished. That is all for now.

“Trinity Help”

The Matrix is 10-years-old, and to celebrate Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett recreated the iconic “Bullet Time” sequence out of LEGO. Their short film, titled “Trinity Help,” is a frame-accurate stop-motion animation of the scene. It took them 440 hours to recreate the 44 second clip entirely “in camera.” LegoMatrix

Top causes of death broken down by age, race, and gender.

While you may be worried of catching of an obscure disease you heard about on the news, the truth is that we are far more likely to die of a small range of illnesses, nearly all of which are tied in some way to your lifestyle choices, like the food you eat or how much exercise you get. But you can lessen—sometimes dramatically—the likelihood of succumbing to the most common causes of death by knowing your risk factors and making informed choices. This is a look at your most likely cause of death (excluding uncontrollable events like accidents and homicide), given your race, sex, and age. Use this information to make choices that will keep you healthy.
