Everyone, sit down. We need to talk. This Avatar business is getting out of hand. It was fine when you just wanted to go for the 3D glasses and special effects. The effects were epic and it is pretty sweet when a big-ass dinosaur gets all up in your face. But when you started painting yourself blue everyday that was my first clue that something was wrong. You’ve ruined all the bath towels, not to mention the sheets. The only thing you’ll listen to is the …
10 Albums that I loved:
Agoraphobic Nosebleed – Agorapocalypse
Who would’ve thought ANb would put out an album with an average song length of over two minutes? The world’s fastest grind band slows down a little, with mindblowing results. Absolutely fucking insane thrash trades off with insanely heavy riffs, with the best drum programming in human history. This record has the perfect grindcore mood: pissed off and wild and gross, offensive just for the sake of it, and ultimately lighthearted, playful, and carefree.

Unlike modern diseases such as cancer, obesity), depression’s origin has been contemplated since the time of philosophers Plato and Aristotle. Depression remains a prevalent and troublesome disorder despite the changes in social and environmental conditions over human history. Thus, it …
There is poetry all around us—in the way we walk, the way trees shiver snow off their branches, and even the way we slip and fall on a patch of unforeseen ice—it is easy to overlook the rhythmic beauty of our world. But there is one place poetry is far from expected: in bacteria. And in this case, we’re not talking about metaphoric poetry.
Christian Bök, an experimental poet native to Canada, is intent on creating poetry that can withstand any natural nightmare—he is coding …
Hypothetical situation: you are a rat. There is a bowl of cake frosting in front of you. Do you eat it? The answer is yes. You eat it all.
So you’ve eaten an entire bowl of cake frosting—why would you do such a thing? You weren’t that hungry. Now we’re at an impasse. The frosting is gone. It’s behind (or within) you now. Are you satisfied? Was it worth it? You have no answer for what you did, of course. You’re a rat.
