"'Terry is one of the more charismatic figures in downtown culture,' the gallery owner, Jeffrey Deitch, will later tell the New York Observer, and tonight's impromptu block party certainly attests to that. One whole stretch of Wooster Street has been cordoned off by the NYPD, such is the crowd milling about. There is a Red Cross emergency worker stationed inside the airless and overcrowded space. Terryworld is a strange and contradictory place where art and fashion and pornography converge, and where, for the time being at least, pornography is the dominant aesthetic."Terrys diary . com

"Elvis Presley & Sophia Loren (1958) According to Bob Willoughby, the photographer who snapped these candids, Loren spotted 23-yr-old Presley eating lunch in the Paramount commissary and decided to go over & introduce herself. Which is to say, she promptly sat in his lap, gave him a kiss, & began mussing his carefully sculpted pompadour. He didn’t mind."

WHO has Britain's smelliest urine?
Thorpe Park - billed as UK's most extreme horror theme park - has decided to find out by asking visitors to provide smelly urine samples.
Visitors will be offered the opportunity to urinate in small plastic pots at special "deposit booths''.
It will then be judged for odour, with the most disgusting urinator winning $860 and the unparalleled honour of having their wee's smell recreated for a new attraction at the park.

Authentic Happiness Inventory Questionnaire
Measures Overall Happiness.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Mutiny on the bounty!
"Following in the footsteps of William Bligh when cast adrift from the Bounty, Don McIntyre and the crew onboard the "Talisker Bounty Boat" will sail for Tonga to find extra food and water, then set off to sail across the top of the Fiji and the Vanuatu Island groups, before setting course for the Queensland Coast and a landing at Restoration Island following four weeks at sea on light rations. They then sail north inside the Great Barrier Reef to Thursday Island, and across to Kupang and Timor.
If successful it will be the first time that anyone has ever sailed the same course, in the same way that William Bligh did 221 years before. (1983 and 1990 attempts both used almanacs and charts for navigation, torches, modern time pieces etc, and also made unscheduled stopovers or did not follow the same route or were escorted part of the way). We'll have no charts, no nautical almanacs, no modern watches, no torches, no toilet paper, no extra landings, all in a boat less than half the size of Bligh's original "Bounty Boat".... But let's get to the finish line and then talk about it."

WB: What was the Clubhouse like?
JW: Oh it was amazing! I've been in another one, The Bad Boys; their clubhouse - which is now closed - was more like Scorpio Rising. And the guys used to say, 'Any biker girl you want John, you can go upstairs, there's mats on the floor, you can have sex with ‘em.' They knew, they were just trying to fuck with me, y'know?

The Balibo 5
"The film Balibo (based on 30 years of research by Jill Jollife), tells a story that will be unfamiliar to most Australians. It is not just the story of the journalists (the Balibo Five), who were murdered by Indonesian troops, but also the story of Roger East.
East, was a freelance journalist, who travelled to East Timor in 1975 at the behest of Jose Ramos Horta, to investigate what had happened to the five journalists and report on the situation there. He was present to witness the beginning of Indonesian military rule in East Timor. Indonesian rule in East Timor began in much the same way as when it eventually collapsed in 1999 - in state sponsored crimes. On December 7, 1975, Indonesian paratroops landed in the East Timorese capital of Dili and went on a rampage of theft, murder, rape and pillage. By December 8, Roger East was dead and the last independent eyewitness to the illegal Indonesian invasion was silenced."

fuck your mother.
We found her in the younger brother's bedroom with some cracked out skinny looking junky dude. I think she had her top off. I don’t remember. I was just a kid. I'm still not really an adult. A big enough group, of ugly enough, looking dudes surrounded him and he said he just wanted to leave without any trouble. His sister had left, the pretty one. She would probably be dealt with later. By dealt with I mean rooted. By someone else. Or maybe not, this is simply speculation.

Read so many years later, they are filled with surprises."

What should we value most–freedom or security, merit or equality? And who should decide–the few or the many, individuals or groups, humanity or God? For the first time, the world’s most seminal texts on power and its relationship to the ordering of society are brought together and presented on the same level."

"I continue here my discussion of three works that just happened to come together during one evening last week: John Updike’s novel Terrorist, Martin Scorcese’s film Taxi Driver, and George Bernard Shaw’s play Arms and the Man. My question is whether Shaw’s humanism is a sufficient answer to the undercurrent of American rage that Updike talks about in Terrorist and that Scorcese makes the subject of his 1976 film."

"15 Days is a fast-paced and sophisticated adventure game about Cathryn, Mike and Bernard - a troupe of political activists – stealing art for good causes. In meticulously planned coups, the three Londoners steal precious paintings from the best guarded museums in the world. The group then donates their millions, Robin Hood style, to development projects in Africa. Their goal is to share out the money of eccentric art collectors to the poor."

"These pages contain a collection of concise reviews for movies and film-makers that are unusually extreme, twisted, surreal or bizarre. This is an encyclopedia of fringe, extreme, art and shock cinema, or pure cult/midnight movies, including works by classic Dadaists and Surrealists.
Film-maker pages contain a description of the kinds of films they make, their general approaches and trademarks, with reviews for all of their more extreme creations, rather than presenting full biographies and complete filmographies. Avant-garde shorts and short-film-makers are usually not included unless they are especially notable or classic.
Straightforward art, horror or creepy movies aren't included; They have to make you feel unusually disturbed or confused or that the director/writer is either a lunatic, a pervert, a psychopath, or on drugs. Many of these movies are very unique and memorable. They are not recommended to the faint of heart, the prude, the morally righteous or the Hollywood afficionado."

All this is much the same to me!
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing...

I lit a fire
My sorrows, my pleasures
I need them no more!
Swept away the love affairs
With their tremors
Swept away forever
I leave with nothing ...

three in a bed.
The floor of American Apparel is really shiny. Glossy enough to reflect whatever stands on it. I'm standing at the entry to the change rooms and a strung-out dude in a wide neck grey shirt says just this one mate. I tell him aggressively I don't work here. I don't know why i was aggressive. His girl laughs at me. In my head i think she has an ugly forehead. I watch under the change room door, through the reflection of the floor, and see a skinny-leggedvixen. Long legs, I can see her pussy. I think i can see her pussy. It's very blurry and just shadows but i can make it out with imagination. It moves along like the shadows of trees as you drive past in cars. Thin long legs that -

Old school.
"The running joke at work right now is that I, the Creative Director does not have broadband. In my defence, apart from being cheap.
As a creative I am not bound by my medium. Whilst I am inspired by the channels I work in, I still need to gain knowledge and insight from my surroundings. Let it by playing my guitar, travelling on the bus or writing in my journal at night.
The communication of the internet is emmense however I still feel it is important to also engage in external influences and bring those experiences to my work. So when I leave the office, leave the internet behind and I start my creative process… absorbtion.
That is what Old School is for me and this is where it starts."

Letters of note
"Correspondence just ain’t what it used to be.
At least it hasn’t been since September, when freelance writer Shaun Usher launched Letters of Note. The blog, as Usher explains on the homepage, “is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos.”
And fascinating they are. Among the pieces Usher has recently posted: a letter sent by an Australian schoolboy “To a top scientist at Woomera’s Rocket Range” in Australia, an expletive-laden fax sent by Hunter S. Thompson to a film producer he called “you lazy b*tch”, Elvis Presley’s handwritten note requesting a meeting with President Richard Nixon, and South Park co-creator Matt Stone’s memo in response to the MPAA’s request that he edit the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut so it could get an R (rather than NC-17) rating. Needless to say, many are worthy of Twitter and Facebook LOLs. But the narratives that appear at Letters of Note aren’t mere exchanges of words (or abbreviations): Because Usher includes scans of the original correspondence whenever possible, messages often appear to layers of meaning and feeling that can be impossible to decipher in text messages, tweets, and emails.
As part of an ongoing series of interviews about projects related to literacy, literary matters, and society, I interviewed Usher last week about Letters of Note and its significance in an age where written correspondence is becoming increasingly rare. Here’s what he had to say:"

Why They Call It The Cockpit
"It's hard to believe that "The Stewardesses" grossed over a hundred million dollars (in today's money) as claimed on the website for its current release project, but what do we know—we were barely sentient when it was first shown in theaters back in 1969. Still, we're looking forward to seeing this retro classic restored to big-screen glory later this year; in the meantime, we're more than happy to amuse ourselves with the 3D stills gallery, providing we can find that pair of anaglyph glasses we have lying around here somewhere.(They seem to come in handy moreoften than we expect.)"

A hot evening in Seville – and the townswomen are abuzz with the rumour that legendary lover Don Juan's in town. A mysterious figure moves through the shadows, serenading at one balcony, stealing kisses at another. It's true – Don Juan is in town, but he's not quite the dashing young thing he was. He's here for a reconciliation with his wife who's cunningly bought up his debts and is threatening to have him jailed. When a young Don Juan wannabe gets killed by a jealous husband, the real Don Juan decides to let the pretender be buried in his place and retire to obscurity. But life as an ex-legend is not the relief he expected.

Gee Gee.
There have been many superlatives used to describe Phar Lap, the giant New Zealand bred gelding which dominated Australian racing and beat the best in the world at Agua Caliente. Phar Lap was more than just another champion racehorse. Phar Lap played the role of hero to a people struggling with the effects of the Great Depression. He lifted their spirits and gave them respite from the difficult times of unemployment and food shortages. Australians love a battler, and here was a horse purchased for 160 guineas not only beating the best, but annihilating them, sometimes by up to 20 lengths.
While best remembered for his wins in the Melbourne Cup and Agua Caliente Handicap, some say his greatest win was in the 1931 Futurity Stakes; a seven furlong race run on a very heavy track. That day Phar Lap carried 10st 3lbs (65kg) and came from last to win against a top sprint field. His 1930 spring carnival form was astounding, as he followed success in the W.S. Cox Plate with wins on all four days of the Flemington Carnival, including an effortless win in the Melbourne Cup carrying 9st 12lbs (62.5kg).
Drama followed the horse, from the attempt on his life before the 1930 Melbourne Cup to his untimely and controversial death. This has been a matter for much conjecture; although recent scientific evidence suggests he died from an overdose of arsenic.
Phar Lap was an inaugural inductee into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2001, and gained legend status in 2008.

Thai Woman Claims Son Reincarnated as Lizard
NONTHABURI, Thailand - When Chamlong Taengniem's 13-year-old son died in a motorcycle accident, she had no idea he would revisit her. As a lizard. The mother claims a lizard followed her home after her son's cremation and sleeps in his mattress and drinks his favorite drinks. Flocks of people have journeyed to the woman's home to catch a glimpse of the lizard, even stroking its stomach in the hopes of finding clues to future lottery numbers. Out of respect, people left gifts for the lizard as well. People in Buddhist nations generally believe in reincarnation and a spirit's life after death.strange news . com
Flatz
The performances by Flatz, which he calls (as well as his later> Disassemblies <)> pieces, "are often targeted auto-aggressive, so based on their own body. Bei Teilen des Publikums schien dies mehr Aufsehen zu erregen, als dies gemeinhin bei einer gegen andere gerichteten Gewalt der Fall gewesen wäre. In sections of the audience, this seemed to attract more attention than they would in a commonly directed against other violence have been the case. So etwa bei der Aktion ›Teppich‹: Flatz ließ sich in den Windfang der Münchner Akademie der Bildenden Künste legen, eingenäht in einen Teppich, auf den die Hineingehenden traten, mehr oder minder gezwungen. Carpet: Flatz had put himself into the vestibule of the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, sewn into a rug on the entered went in, more or less forced. Die Schmerzen, die die Tritte verursachten, artikulierte Flatz jeweils mit einem schrillen Pfiff. The pain, which caused the trampling articulated Flatz each with a shrill whistle. Zwölf Stunden sollte auch dieses ›Stück‹ andauern. Twelve hours would last even this 'piece'. Doch nach etwa einem Drittel der Zeit wurde der ›menschengefüllte‹ Teppich von zwei Männern weggezerrt und zur Seite geworfen. But after about one third of the time the 'crowded' carpet was dragged away by two men and thrown to the side.
Eine andere Aktion im österreichischen Bludenz , bei der Flatz sich 15 Minuten lang von einem Mann ohrfeigen ließ, während das Auditorium Schläger und Geschlagenen auf einem Videomonitor beobachten konnte, wurde ebenfalls von einer Frau aus dem Publikum abgebrochen. Another measure in the Austrian Bludenz, in the left Flatz kick himself for 15 minutes by a man, while the audience could see thugs and beaten on a video monitor, was also stopped by a woman from the audience.
