Steven Meisel.
Isolation is the first thing to do in a crisis, right? Hole up, shut off lights, turn on TV, maybe stream a grip of movies, eat, sleep… In the wake of a crisis or a big bump in the road of life, retreat seems like a good plan. Hole up, “think things over”, let the dust…

Another Knicks Era
Something about the Knicks just ain’t all right. That’s what you gotta love when they actually piece a good team together. They’re never smooth around the edges, there’s always some sort of dirty grit about them. Something only explained as New York Basketball. Even when Riley and Ewing teamed up, their plan was to hammer the rest of the league into insult. This was...

Toronto Moments
My memory gets jogged every now and then with something that reminds me of a particular Toronto moment. I Love Toronto but it could be so god damn fucking annoying. Holly shit it has a way to crawl right beneath the skin. This is a good memory though. Toronto has some damn ass nerdy people in it. Depending on your arrival on the boat, or birth in the city really depends on whether you...

Toronto Fourth
According to The Economist’s annual ranking of global cities, Toronto is the fourth most livable city in the world. Hogtown scored 97.2 out of a possible 100 points—a rating that considers a number of indicators under the categories of stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Each indicator is rated according to acceptability, and each category is given a...

Living Without Money →
sanman-ish:
We were in a really bad way before the white man came, and I don’t know how we managed to get along for millenniums without the basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a current civilized society.

I found this post in Marc and Angel Hack Life
It’s very interesting and it kind of helps to see things from a different perspective. It’s really good as an exercise or an experiment.
These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.

The Hell With Black History Month
In Canada. I got a lot of blood boiling. Still at the 100 F for most of you but seriously I think the whole thing is unnecessarily stupid. In a place like the States where racial tension has been a huge fabric of its society, its deemed absoultely relevant. I have no greater respect for a man, than Malcolm X. Its appropriate to showcase the contributions black people have had and continue to...

Activist Ted Hayes thinks the etiquette of cricket can provide good life lessons
A group of former gangsters, homeless men and street kids from Compton, a Los Angeles city notorious for gang violence, is possibly the world’s most unlikely cricket team - but it’s now making history as the first all-American side to tour Australia.
Straight outta Compton! Gangsters are...

To All Those Who Say Hip Hop Is Dead
Hip Hop purists. Always losing sleep on when or if hip hop will ever return. Hip Hop is not dead. It was an underground phenomenom and that’s where it always should be sought. There are people doing some sound mixing and fusing out there that still holds to the soul and truth of hip hop. Back in the day it was hard to hear real hip hop on the radio and today its come full circle. So...

Toronto Ultimate Emcee Semi-Final →
albumsonthemic:
Don’t know much about Canadian Hip Hop lyricism outside of what I hear on the local University radio but this is the UltimateMC with One on One battles that I haven’t witnessed in years, so there must be a good rhyme or two somewhere in the Great White North.

We all talk like Jamaicans and say “Yeah mon. Irie.”
We all sleep in hammocks. The whole mattress thing never cought on. We couldn’t find a way to string them up between the coconut trees. Next to the hut. By the river. With the pet goat.
We all smoke weed. It’s mandatory. Usually down by the…

In the Army Now
Last night two of my friends disclosed to me that they were making steps to joining the Canadian Corps. I had a good laugh at the their very serious announcement. My friends are a mix of academic, athletic, and straight up lazy and somehow our experiences mirror each other. Although I would never undertake what they’re keen to do, I gotta give it up to them. At this point responsbility is...

Buy Nothing Day
Yes…it’s real! I’ve never ever heard of this but what a great idea. Surprisingly its beginnings are in Vancouver and although in my home nation, the media has been unsurprisingly mute about this day of balance. We’re all culprits of over consumption and its a day in which we can all easily dedicate ourselves too. The official day is set as the Friday after American...

Thats right, Re-Nest posted this list, and I am re-positing it because, well, everyone should try to assimilate as much clean air into their lives as possible. After reading this list, I am getting at least 10 plants for my 900 sq ft place. Theoretically, I should get 18-…

The CRTC and Bell Media have recently conspired behind the backs of all Canadians to charge YOU for internet access based on every MB of data you use, their aim is to impose a usage cap nationwide affecting every single ISP. We need to fight this as a nation, united against greed and oppression.
