Be still, our hearts! This final look from the Luca Luca S/S 2012 is a perennial favorite — and a perennial swoon-inducer.

Aprons.

My love for aprons knows no bounds. Especially this one.

"As it developed, Excavation appeared palpably alive, its surface a kind of "skin" beneath which beat a pulse, the paint yielding to the brush as flesh does to the touch."

-Mark Stevens, Annalyn Swan, de Kooning, an American Master

An entire chapter of a nearly 700 page biography of Willem de Kooning dedicated to my favorite painting. This painting has brought me to tears everytime I stand before it.

I wonder how my co-workers feel when they walk past my desk and I'm eating peanut butter with a spoon.

Update: probably jealous.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.

Why Millennials aren’t buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy

HAHA NO MONAY!!!!!

Maybe our generation aren’t buying houses and cars because EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED

You want us to actually talk to bank people and get home loans and auto loans? They are still fucking us! Any time I go into a bank, I feel disgusted. You want me to do MORE business with the who want to charge me 5 dollars for every single swipe of my debit card? Get fucked!

You think I’m gonna buy a car? A car? Where am I gonna get the money for a car and the insurance and the insurance against the insurance company if God forbid they decide to do the same things they did to the poor Fisher family and countless others? And fucking GAS? Are you crazy? The planet is dying, and you want me to buy gas at $FUCK.YOU/gallon?

In the past 5 years since the economy fell apart, we’ve been adapting. We’ve been listening to countless horror stories of those who made the risk. Those who saved and did it right, and still ended up with an inferior product with inferior service that RUINS YOUR LIFE. It’s not like ordering a pizza, and instead of sausage, you get cheese. It’s like ordering a pizza and then your credit is ruined and you are flat broke. The pains of acquisition aren’t worth it if it can all be taken away like a bureaucratic fart in the bathtub. It would be smarter to save our money for tickets to god-damn Mars than to invest in these hideous, broken systems.

We aren’t cheap. We fucking hate doing business with you people. 

All these pieces on Millennials are so mired in confusion since we don’t even trust journalists any more. The news, our entire lives, has been scary. Think about being 8 and processing the deaths of abortion doctors or homegrown terrorism. Now try to process the news when every asshole on camera just lies. The news hasn’t had an ounce of truth in it for 10 years. Can you not understand how much we don’t trust anyone who is older than us? How can you trust anybody when the president and vice-president of the United States lied to the Secretary of State so they could START THE WRONG WAR!

Fucking seriously.

Also, that graphic? Is that what you think we all look like? Are you fucking kidding me, Atlantic?

I hope they never find out how to market to us. I hope we splinter so much that companies like Ford will have to make a decent product instead of asking the Vomit Spouts that created Jersey Shore how to create MORE fantasies about how great THINGS will make your life. We don’t attach to things because things break. We saw everything break.

But, that’s just me.

God this is good. and fuck buying a car. What a worthless money suck.

I recently met up with someone from my past that I probably haven’t spoken to in maybe 9 or 10 years. No bad blood, just ran different paths. It’s crazy how much happens in that amount of time, and how different we are as people. As 30 swiftly approaches, I’m growing a bit melancholy and thoughtful about where I’ve been, and what I’ve done. Nothing has made it clear to me how much I’ve changed and grown in the time from leaving home quite like spending time with people from that era that I’ve lost touch with. Part of me expects us both to be the same 20-year olds, the unaffected ego and attitudes unknowingly about to face the world. In reality we are both more humble, and mellow, taking on characteristics that time has carved into us. The world, life, and being in your 20s changes people. The experiences and relationships, and adventures I’ve had shape who I am today. I am (as well) a bit more zen, my values have changed, and I’m pretty at peace with most of it. I still yearn for the naive youthful indiscretions of a time before the weight of the world caught up with me. I'm becoming aware that maybe your thirties are about what happens after the tangled story of the 20s, and wisdom that I could have never predicted.

The YouTube corporation and CBS have now censored the original video of Anaheim cops shooting at children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MST4RhWdlMQ “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CBS.” Spread links to the mirrors. Keep firing.
