The Allegory of the Trudy Show

The ultimate argument for a gift economy

(via tikvaa)

This image reminds me why I love women.

I think I’ve personally struggled with this concept for years. At times separating myself from influence so I won’t be affected by other artists…but why? Isn’t the whole point of me creating art in the first place…to inspire?

I hope anyone and everyone honestly wants to copy me…just make sure you tell me about it. I want to see it : )

In the last 30 days we have seen thousands of British students protesting in the streets after the government raised tuition fees, thousands protesting in Tunisia after a business owner set himself on fire, and currently 1% of Egypt’s population rioting all over the country against a government that won’t hear them otherwise.

Whats the first thing I start thinking when I see these patterns?

(Aside from the undeniable resemblances to the Age of Enlightenment)

Does it have to be like this? Is there a way humans can live harmoniously?

I know it doesn’t have to be like this. And I am proud to pursue a environmentally sustainably, socially just and spiritually-fulfilling world.

Auroville is a sustainable community featured in the film (“City of the dawn.”)

We visited many communities in our journey across the US, these places are “living laboratories” of change. Where people are proving every single day that:

“There is no one right way to live.” Daniel Quinn


“Men, do the right thing!”

This was the title of a brochure placed in plain view, and not to mention newly stocked, at the post office.

After reading through this brochure I found out some really interesting pieces of information. 1) All men between the ages of 19-26 are required to submit to the Selective Service 2) Not submitting is considered a felony 3) If you are older than 26 and you have not registered than you are not required to by law.

The first thing I thought was…What is the Selective Service?

After a few minutes its easy to put together, Selective Service is just another word for “Sign up for the draft.”

My second thought was…Haha, thank god I’m 27 and too old to sign up.

Little did I know that my mother, the one who gave birth to me, knowingly signed me up for this when she assisted me in applying for financial aid for college.

All I could think was…No she didn’t?

And that’s when she gave me the million dollar advice…

  • Don’t pursue a role, LIVE that role. Like my sister told me, back when I confessed I wanted to be a filmmaker…
  • Big Sis:Then BE a filmmaker
  • Kevin Smith:That’s what I’m saying: I wanna be
  • Big Sis:No - BE a filmmaker. You say you wanna be; just BE a filmmaker. Think every thought AS a filmmaker. Don’t pine for it or pursue it; BE it. You ARE a filmmaker; you just haven’t made a film yet.
  • And it sounded artsy-fartsy as fuck, but it was CRAZY useful advice. A slacker hit the sheets that night, but the CLERKS-guy got out of bed the following morning.
  • Original Trilogy Set

     These are the coolest looking Star Wars designs by Olly Moss. I love the way they made the characters their own but also kept a vintage style to it.

    I agree with my brother…totally want these in the office. Its not like we are trying to hide the fact that we’re geeks…at least we have good taste.

    Its not like we’d ever put up Episode One posters : )
