New Awesome Stuff

I haven't written much in a while and the last few times I did, it was just lazy link posting. But lots of new, good, worthwhile things are coming this week. Just to keep you interested here are some more links for now.

We are socialized to believe that men are naturally predisposed to be handy. However, this trait is not biologically inherent. Hilarious proof here.

You know when you start to type something into google and google kindly suggests search query for you? This is based on how many people have searched these phrases. The idiocy of our society is exposed for your entertainment here.

An oldie but a goodie: Pork Chop Sandwiches.

Did you know that Lady Gaga is actually talented? Yup. She's been playing piano since childhood and wrote music for people like Britney Spears and Akon before making it big. Personally, not a huge fan but this video is friggen brilliant.

Links

I'm too lazy and uncreative to write about anything of substance. So here are some more links:

Dating Deal Breakers. Funny enough, as I was thinking of themes for a blog I thought I'd write about bad hook up experience where my friends and I could contribute. This blog isn't as good as mine could have been, but it's pretty alright as a time waster.

And this blog, I bang the worst dudes is significantly better than my blog would have been.

Then there's look at this fucking hipster, which features pictures of hipsters and hilarious pictures.

If you're anything like me

you're an angry, disgruntled feminist and love Roseanne! Just kidding... sort of. She's a really cool lady and she blogs about things that are relevant and interesting. Check it out.

While I'm at it, I might as well share my love for Slow Children At Play. Apparently I'm a couple years too late, as this blog hasn't been updated in years, which puts me at a loss because I read through the entire thing in one day. The author writes about his daily ordeals as a councilor at a group home for boys who have severe emotional and behavioural problems, with a sense of humour.

Links

Here are some links that serve as an introduction to who I am and what I'm all about. Periodically I'll share links to websites, videos and articles that I find interesting (and so should you!).

"Money For Nothing" is probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Plus it features a bunch of really cool people like Ani DiFranco and Michael Franti. It's pretty much about how corrupt the music industry is (and how!). Here's a taste. If you get a chance, check out the other snippets of "Challanging Media" videos via YouTube.

Jezebel is a blog from the Gawker network catering to a (mostly) female audience by publishing articles which interest educated, modern (read: feminist) women. Topics include politics, news, sex, celebrities, and fashion. But don't be fooled, this isn't Cosmopolitan (it's actually pretty anti-Cosmopolitan). But check it out for yourself. And don't skip over "Pot Psychology," it's a riot.

I hate how modern society operates and have an (undiagnosed) anxiety disorder. One of them is symptomatic of the other, but I'm not sure which. Anxiety Culture has helped me negotiate this. Fun and informative articles that investigate how we're manipulated by the system and the media, that working is for suckers, managing your emotions, and more.

When I'm feeling down, or immature, or grotesque I turn to Cyanide and Happiness to help me accept that being weird is a good thing.

And if this is not enough and you feel like being creepy, check me out on Stumble Upon. I stumble a lot, especially while procrastinating or being unemployed. If I stumble across anything interesting I'll definitely post it here.
