my love for you.

Boom Internet, Boom: The Real Hennessy.

"It ain't that hard internet. It's not rocket science. It's the easy part making it. You know what I'm saying? The hard part is giving it...you know, giving it cultural context."

"Tyler Perry has more money than any artist will ever have, ever."

"Basically Relational Aesthetics is when someone with an MFA wants to meet new people, but becasue they spent all that time persuing an MFA they don't know how to talk to people normally & they have really poor social skills..."

"What's up internet...I am kinda in a somber mood cause of the passing of Louise Bourgeois...we lost a true soldier...she was on this planet for a good 150 years...doing her thing."

"She maintained it with her sculptures of cocks & spiders & shit & installations I don't really understand."

"...if you want to be a succesful artist...ummmm one, be white. A'right. Being white helps in the art world...uhhhh, two, be a white male..."

These are just a few of the amazing thoughts that come from Henessey Youngman. You need to watch these videos. And then you need to go to his YouTube page & watch more. These videos are seriously what makes me love life and the internet so much; wit, art and brilliance combined. But wait, then he sprinlkles race, gender and much more on the top. I mean come on, Hennessy refers to Louise Bourgeois as truly hip hop and a fallen soldier among the ranks of Tupac and Biggie! Good, good stuff. Special thanks to my girl, Katie Kurtz for leading me to The Real Hennessy's twitter page.

You can read an awesome interview with Jayson Musson, the man behind the brilliance on Art in America here. Serioulsy, I am now obsessed.

lazy blogging: how buttons are made.

personally, i'm a big fan of jokes, hmmm, maybe 'jokes' isn't the best description.  i'm a big fan of pulling people's legs, yanking their chain as it were.  like most thirty something ladies, i'm a big fan of miranda july.  i like her quirkiness, style and her art.  i've been familiar w/ miranda for yrs but i was completely sold; hook, line and sinker on miranda in that instant in her film me and you and everybody we know, where she totally loses it in the car.  fuck old pople, fuck children, fuck peace?!  i loved her insanity.  i just saw this video over on one of my favorite personal blogs "WE ARE INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY."    i really believe that only miranda july has the genius, social savvy-ness, and cuteness to get away w/ this.

they're at it again, thank god:improv everywhere.

oh, stuff like this just makes me so happy to be alive!  i got so warm and fuzzy watching this video.  i love the folks at improv everwhere, they really get me to stop and think about mischief, fun and not taking oneself too seriously.  check out their website for other great pranks like no pants 2k8, slo-mo home depot and look up more.  also, if you don't live in nyc and you want to get in on their missions, go here.

leslie hall: i put the body glitter on cause i never hesitate.

holidays got you down?  well, humbug no more...here's a video to get you up and dancing and laughing hysterically.  it's leslie hall, and she is basically a comic genius.  line of the yr:  "you get me hotter than a stick of hot glue and i'm scrap-booking everything we do."  so brilliant.  be sure to check out her myspace where you can see a ton of her videos.  careful, you'll get addicted and soon enough you'll be scouring goodwill's and salvation army's for gem sweaters.  she sure knows how to rock them.  shake it if you want to hear more!

"bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side."*

is there something you want?  something you have been wishing for for quite some time?  well, now you've got help.   marc horwitz and The Center For Improved Living is more than happy to help you.  no wish is too small nor to too big.  marc is more than willing to help.  how sweet.  we need more friends like him.

check out marc's website i need to stop soon.  where you can learn about making your own personal spam, fighting noise w/ noise, what to write if you feel bad about robbing a bank or hitting someone's car.  there are priceless gems on his site.  you'll be mesmerized by all the videos and entries.  or at least i was.  his interactive projects really got me thinking about so much.  in an era when people are encouraged to set themselves apart from others, to be 'individuals' and create a name for themselves i really enjoy marc's and TCFIL's projects.  they create community and bring people together or completely alienate them, depending on the entry you are reading.

log onto TCFIL's webpage everyday and join in on the daily actions where questions like "have you ever been bitten by a snake?", "if you were to 'remote conrtollize' something in your life what would it be?" or "what one word do you think you say once a year?".  not only do you get to wax nostalgically or hypothetically you get to read other's great comments.  plus you can lie and no one will ever know.  and if that's the case, perhaps marc will have a note for you to write when you are found out.
