Vintage Allen Edmonds “Grayson” Slip On Tassel Loafer in Natural Linen, Size 8D. Made in the USA in the 1980’s.

Wow, nice.

We need more House.


From my generation, I can see how house music pioneered in Chicago (it  was largely black and gay) and moved to gay scenes in different cities,  from Boston down to D.C., and everywhere in between. Back in the 90s,  the perception of house music was very different—especially on the  hip-hop scene. House music is gay, you don’t fuck with it—only as a joke. Something like Jungle Bros’ “I’ll House You” was a gimmick. It’s a far  cry from the David Guetta–fed climate of today’s urban radio, where  every current rapper needs a house record to break into the charts. But  back in the 80s and 90s, house and techno moved and grew rapidly in  Europe, where it incubated and became the sound we have today on the  radio. It’s a long way from the music made in garages and cheap hardware  (like the 303 synth) in the 80s and 90s and today, on laptops using  free programs. That makes it sound so raw and exciting—and that’s what  we have with the ballroom music that Mike plays every Tuesday.

Inside Job, Narrated by Matt Damon (Full Length HD = 1 HOUR & 48 MINUTES)

‘Inside Job’ provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

"I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

– Maya Angelou (via eastatlanta)

"Looking back, there were things I should have gotten out of earlier, situations I never should have put myself into … but what difference does it make? In the end, we will all die and the sun will burn out eventually."

– John Malkovich
