diversions for the old fashioned modern american

A large sample of the American workforce may not realize that summer is upon us full swing. Their workloads do not reflect the change in seasons and for an unfortunate many of us, summer doesn't include kicking back poolside nor does it offer time for regular weekends in the Hamptons or at beach houses in Malibu. To take our minds off it all and the fact that we're either unemployed or overworked (from doing several peoples jobs after mass layoffs), some well-intentioned individuals in NY have come together to organize RECESS.

Recess was created to provide a lifestyle alternative to the otherwise rudimentary and banal activities of our day. RECESS will put on an ongoing series of sports activities starting with the first three planned in the next couple months. Activities such as Badminton (6/20), Table Tennis (8/22), Bocce Ball (9/26). However, for the time being only the New York dwellers will have the priviledge of partaking. I guess you could fly there though? Here's hoping for some expansion of this simple yet highly relevant event-tion.

a thousand thank you's to "this f^cking hipster"

Why, Hello.


For the longest time, I was desensitized to the disturbing and often scarring images of countless hipsters across America. Photos that have come to represent what it means to have a cool online photo album posted on a blog or even your totally awesome flickr account. I previously lacked a framework to understand how damaging these photos could be. But now by the grace of g-d and some souls with a vision, I have a medium with which I can be continuously reminded of how damaging such imagery can be. "Look At This F^cking Hipster." I'm still shaken up.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION







Look At This Fucking Hipster

march to: kanye's "air yeezy mixtape"

Kanye has compiled a little (cough) mixtape to coincide with the release of his instantly extreme collector piece Air Yeezy's. Any celebrity can put their name on an a design from an already established brand like Nike, leave it to Mr. West to dedicate select list of tracks to back it up. I'm not a fan of the whole album but in HP's case, that isn't the point.
