I heart Disaster Porn!!!

I showed you the 2012 trailer a few days ago. Now that is pretty hilarious as is, without deliberately poking fun at it. But you ain’t seen nothing yet! Watch this beautiful Disaster Porn 2012 extravaganza. If that doesn’t sell you on going and seeing it, I don’t know what will. November 13th! Marked in [...]

2009 – a Space Oddity

I love David Bowie. For so many reasons: he is a chameleon (much like moi), he has kick-ass as well as hilarious outfits, he makes awesome music (and he’s been doing it for ever), he is Charlie Hero’s and Karim Amir’s hero (and I love Karim Amir – he is my favourite Hanif Kureishi character [...]

Jump! You fuckers!

My dad told me about this story weeks ago. It went on while I was in Vancouver.

What type are you?

Know your rights

This is one of my favourite songs by The Clash. I have been listening to it quite a bit, and I wanted to post the lyrics because they unfortunately still have validity, also in the countries I move about. Read them, listen to the song, and do something! This is a public service announcement With [...]
