This will introduce you to a color you’ve probably never seen before.
True “Cyan”. Usually most people find it an ugly color, or just an ordinary light blue. BUT! Computers and TVs dilute the actual appearance of cyan and when you see it, its fucking awesome.
SO! Stare at the white dot for 2 minutes. Just as long as you can. The circle will get fuzzy and youll start to see a ring forming. Back your head up slowly and look around the edge of the circle.
Craziest, best blue Ive ever seen.

Lauryn Is at It Again!!!

This week marked the 30th year that many fans and supportors mourn the loss of Bob Marley, except this year they celebrated his life with the help of Lauryn Hill. On Jimmy Fallon this week, Hill performed, “Chances Are,” and “Could You Be Loved,” which are two Marley classic. Unlike other performances, her biggest critiques were edging on her band and tapping on her earpiece while singing. 

She is getting use to being with her band and producing a sound that causes us to remember a revolutionary era within our music and culture. Lauryn Hill will continue with her tour through the Fall and who’s to say what will happen next.

SUICIDE DON’T DO IT.

I HAVE HEARD ABOUT PEOPLE KILLING THEMSELVES 3 TIMES TODAY SO HERE IS MY POINT OF VIEW.

I personally had made moves towards killing myself many years ago not because of sexuality but it all leads to the same place and feelings of hopelessness. And what I would say to your friend is that. Killing yourself will stop the TEMPORARY pain that you feel BUT it will also PERMANENTLY stop everything else that goes on with you. There is no turning back from death you can’t fix that you can’t move on you can’t grow from it. Will you teach your family a lesson maybe but at what cost? And you won’t be around to reap the benefits of that lesson. There is no guarantee that your family will ever accept you for being a homosexual but the real question is do you accept yourself. Do you love yourself enough as you are to be strong and move pass this, to grow from it, to allow it to make you stronger? And think of the people that do love and accept you the way you are friends, family, coworkers, and school mates. What are you saying to them by killing yourself, that their acceptance, love, & support are not enough for me? Is that fair to those who do accept you? NO it isn’t. So my advice to anyone who is considering suicide to look at you for a very long time & think is it worth it? Then when you realize that it isn’t because it is not worth it. You cut the people out of your life that would make you feel otherwise family or not and you grab tight to those who love you as you are and you begin to heal. The pain will still be there but it will lessen as you go and those people who don’t accept you will either come around or stay out of your life. But DON’T rob people of your presence that truly want you around. 

MUCH LUV

Weigh In

 Within the last few hours I’ve seen 10K+ people flood the streets, set of fireworks, build fires, sing the national anthem, run with flags and do pretty much everything you would expect to see in a large scale non-violent riot. I have also had some pretty interesting conversations and heard people with different opinions on what the celebrations of Bin Laden’s death. Please vote on the poll below and feel free to comment.

  1. “Historians must see change over time.” That is, historians start with the premise that things change and that one of their responsibilities is to tell us about how things have changed over time. One of the things they do is remind us that there is a gulf between us and the figures/events of the past! 21st Century America is a very different place from 18th century America, and we need to remember that this is true.

  2. “Historians must interpret the past in context.” When a historian reads a document, like a letter written by George Washington, the historian must keep a close eye on the context in which the letter was written and read. What were the philosophies, practices, cultural artifacts of the day? Thus, as Fea writes: “The words of the founders, for example must always be interpreted for the perspective of the eighteenth-century world in which they were uttered or written” (p. xxiv).

  3. “Historians are always interested in causality.” History isn’t just about the “facts,” as if why something occurred didn’t matter. I’m a historian of the Nonjurors. This small group of high church Anglicans separated themselves from the main body and developed some interesting liturgical ideas. Now, why they came into existence is quite important in understanding why they did what they did liturgically. The why question matters!

  4. “Historians are concerned with contingency.” Good historians understand that things don’t happen in a vacuum. One event is connected to other prior events. History is a contingent reality. Religious events are often influenced by political and social matters. We need to recognize this if we’re to understand the usefulness of a historical example.

  5. “Historians realize that life is complex.” History, like life, is messy. It’s difficult to simplify the story, so we must be comfortable with complexity. And no story is more complex than the one that deals with the question of whether the United States was founded as a Christian nation. It all depends on what you mean by nation, Christian, and America – and even the word “founded.” (Fea, pp. xxiv-xxv).

“History, like life, is messy. It’s difficult to simplify the story, so we must be comfortable with complexity.”

After all of the the Trump vs Obama birth certificate nonsense that has been going on, I was beginning to wonder if Barack had the guts to respond and call Trump out. Politico wants to see Trump’s promised tax returns and I….like 98% of America want to see his ACTUAL  hairline. While neither of these came true in this video, we do get to see Mr. Obama comedically slicing away at Trump with surgeon-like precision at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. From Roswell to the Moon landing to Biggie & Tupac….Trump is on the case.

A Ressurrection of Sorts

Hip Hop liberation lyricist, Lauryn Hill is making a return back to the world of music. It has been almost more than 10 years since she has captivated audiences with her provoking lyrics of radical truth and performances that would give you an experience one would deem God sanctioned and unforgettable. This year at Choachella, Lauryn Hill gave a compelling 40 min performance that convinced the audience, that not only is she back, but she is here to stay. Her decision to leave the industry on such abrupt terms was selfish, in a sense, but nevertheless, her concert dates and show appearances have been making up for lost time. The void she left in the music industry can be filled once again. Now women, and African American’s can hear substance in lyrics over a tight beat, feel liberated, and have a heightened conscious because Lauryn Hill has resurrected from her slumber-like sabbatical.

World’s largest Jellyfish: Whaaaaaaaaaat? I had NO IDEA that anything close to that size existed!
rillawafers:


The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.
The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.
They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it. 
That is terrifying.
