Look at this magnificent creature. He is so fucking smug.
my blood won’t stick to the confines of my veins.
Detail shot! Lol uhhh.. I just realize tomorrow is the 14th. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone?
I’m single in Paris. I’m trying to determine if this is a sad thing, or a very very good thing.

Against the Grain by Jonathan Chong akaVJ Dropbear for Hudson.
You can download this song for free on Hudson’s Facebook page.
“Noun is a playful artist’s book about words and their definitions. It is like an exquisite corpse with words.
Starting with 27 real English words, each word and its definition has been divided into two parts. By turning the pages, you get to mix and match the word halves to create humorous and nonsensical new words and meanings.
With over 700 different combinations, this book is the perfect item for bibiophiles, lexicographers, writers, and any lover of words.
Here are a few examples of words and definitions you can put together:
whisper + umbrella = whisbrella: A low sibilan utterance for sheltering one from rain and sun.
banana + onomatopoeia = bananpoeia: A large herbaceous perennial tropical plant that bears fruit imitating the sound of the thing or action signified.
muffin + tyrant = muffrant: A quick bread made of batter unrestrained by law or constitution.
nomenclature + ancestry = nomencestry: A system or set of names for things derived from, or possessed by, an ancestor or ancestors.”omg

After months of painful negotiations, Belgian photographer Anton Kusters spent two years with one of Japan’s most notorious Yakuza gangs. For those unfamiliar with the Yakuza, they are known for their brutality, tattoos and strict code of honor. After gaining exclusive access, Kusters captured never-before-seen moments from their business meetings, bath houses, night clubs, and even funerals.
“893-Yakuza is a personal visual account of the life inside an inaccessible subculture: a traditional Japanese crime family that controls the streets of Kabukicho, in the heart of Tokyo, Japan,” says Kusters.
In 2009, Japan’s National Police Agency estimated that there were 80,900 active Yakuza, whose activities include drug dealing, extortion, illegal gambling and violent turf wars. Bound by a strict and ruthless moral code, the Yakuza are known to cut off the ends of their fingers to prove the sincerity of an apology.
Kusters put all of these incredible experiences into a limited edition book titled Odo Yakuza Tokyo, which quickly sold out. With such a great response, a second edition of the book is set to be released on October 30, 2011. Be sure to check out his website for more information.
I’m as interested in the photos as the stories behind them. This looks magnificent.
