On universal aphorisms for the embittered hipster.

1. Formula

If it weren’t for the damn {people involved}, {scene} would rock!

2. Consider,

Punks — punk
rappers — hip hop
Emokids — Emo

internet geeks — the internet
obnoxious intellectuals — university
retarded business majors — university
politicians — politics

humans — mankind.

apologies for the lack of posts, i’ve been working on a film far too wretched (due to assignmental restrictions, of course) to put on the beacon of quality that is the internet, and working on other various school related things (for example a film which will hopefully be interwebworthy).

one thing is this, which is the result of a “build a character through a blog” assignment which really didn’t go as far as i’d hoped it would.

similarly, i built this for a friend of mine who’s old diaryland.com blog was challenging human rights laws for decency.

a confused and sickly planet

The 2003 world press photo competition, something I hadn’t heard of until 20 minutes ago, has produced some of the most fascinating, beautiful and terrible pictures I’ve seen in a long time.

They are a year of the world painted primarily with pain. A portrait of a confused and sickly planet.

Some of them have the feeling of a classical painting, while others feel more like some kind of demented action film.

They are all good.
