Earlier today I caught this trailer for “I’m Still Here,” the upcoming documentary on Jaoquin Phoenix’s transition from actor to rapper in the last 2 years. What a great piece of art and entertainment this looks to be.
Ever since Jaoquin went on David Letterman with a mountain man beard, chewing gum, stating that he was going to quit acting and become a rapper, people have been saying: “Oh, he’s a fool” or “something’s wrong with him” or “he’s got mental problems.” I say no, give that tired story up! People simply can’t accept that Jaoquin Phoenix wants to become a rapper, and so that’s what he’s sincerely doing: he’s following his dream and he’s killin’ it. More importantly though, his buddy Casey Affleck has made a film about it. You’ve got to love the complexity of that–a great actor as the subject of a documentary about his real life career change to become a big bearded rapper. It’ so outlandish that people don’t want to accept it as possible. They figure he has to be faking it all. But as Director James Gray (who directed Phoenix in 3 movies) told ABC news: “If it is an act, it’s the most committed act I’ve ever seen in my life.”
The fake and the real. The real or the faked. The real faked and the faked real. That, my friends, is the big story of our digital, virtual, Intertastic age. The kicker is this: it doesn’t matter whether it’s real or fake. The question itself is what makes things fun! And you don’t need to know the intent of something to know you like it. Sit back and be entertained in the legacy of the great Andy Kaufman who introduced us to this kind of entertainment, paving the way for bright minds like Jaoquin Phoenix, David Blaine, and James Franco to take it to new levels. Right on, gentleman! Way to kill it!

Ever feel like nothing could go right for you and that you are never going to get out of a slump? The need for compainionship is strong enough to overrule any other emotion or any thought. Life seems much blacker without someone to share it with. Life continues regardless, and I abide.

The world media wants to believe our economic woes are sourced from bankrupt American citizens and the sub-prime mortgage crisis. It is the financial elite who are media puppeteers funding programs like this because they want to steer our attention away from the real issue. Something likened to a magicians hat and cane trick. Powerful economic forces want us to focus on sub-prime mortgages and ignore that over the last three decades American jobs have been outsourced to all corners of the world. Without jobs ordinary Americans can’t afford homes and there should be major deflation and price corrections. But instead, the financial elite conspired with the Federal Reserve and government to flood the market with “funny†loans to keep values going up. Our whole economy has become one giant Ponzi scheme and the media is intentionally ignoring the issue of greed, government corruption and outright criminal activity. Perhaps the best part of this program was cut onto the editing room floor, nonetheless, by side stepping the underlying issues it comes off as British bias and propaganda mixed in with some Economics 101 for entertainment. Watch this 2-hour program because it is better than nothing but don’t drink the Kool-Aid.

Helpful information. Lucky me I found your site unintentionally, and I’m shocked why this accident didn’t came about earlier! I bookmarked it.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I do not understand exactly how I ran across your blog because I had been researching information on Real Estate in Altamonte Springs, FL, but anyway, I have enjoyed reading it, keep it up!

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
There is obviously a bunch to realize about this. I assume you made various good points in features also.
This post is indeed quite interesting. Keep it up! I’ll try here to further the contributions Vervolg.
Plants do not have the power of locomotion — except perhaps for kudzu.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.

Great beat ! I wish to apprentice even as you amend your website, how can i subscribe for a blog website? The account helped me a applicable deal. I were a little bit familiar of this your broadcast provided shiny clear concept
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Thanks so much for giving everyone an extraordinarily pleasant opportunity to discover important secrets from this web site. It can be so brilliant and as well , stuffed with a great time for me personally and my office co-workers to visit your website at the least 3 times every week to study the fresh tips you will have. Not to mention, I’m just at all times contented concerning the special pointers served by you. Some 3 facts in this posting are unequivocally the most impressive we have ever had.

One of the more impressive blogs Ive seen. Thanks so much for keeping the internet classy for a change. Youve got style, class, bravado. I mean it. Please keep it up because without the internet is definitely lacking in intelligence.
I will be watching this again to more fully understand the contents, especially the information on the all-important Derivatives.
Congress does not want it for themselves then why force it on the people of this Nation. If you are not a productive citizen you might as well kiss yourself goodbye. You are born with a medical problem you will not make it far. If you get MD or something later, sorry about your luck. And if the government thinks you are living to long time for counseling to see if you are fit to keep on living. This Health Care Reform is another way for big government to control. Do not be fooled, people with socialized healthcare come to America for treatment because they can not get it at home.
Hi! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!
Thank you so much, this was a good read. I was actually born in Madrid ( not telling what year though!) but was moved around various parts of europe and lastly settled in England when I was a teenager. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the smell of spanish food always seems to ring a bell in me or something. Funny, how I dont remember anything except the smells,isnt it! I actually found a website dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I ought to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. Ill get my son to add your website to my rss app
To enter trip for 2 to New Zealand. Beautiful country
Hey aminnev,I agree with you about the side effects. If you want to cure yellow toenails but the medicine causes projectile flatulence, then its prolly better to just avoid open toed shoes.
What a great treat your ice cream is. In todays economy a bit of pleasure goes a long way. I loved the Chocolate Cherry Cordial but the Extreme Cookies n Cream is wonderful too. Thank you for being you and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Ja – Ein Preis Vergleich kann sich durchaus lohnen.
Its wonderful as your other content
, thank you for putting up.
Can I have a hunky cowboy for my birthday?
If I start a blog on Myspace, will it get listed in search engines like Google? If so, is there a way to keep them from being crawled?. . Thank you.
What are your faves?

Your web-site and posts are really interesting ! Thanks for providing such a fantastic useful resource. With so many poor quality web sites out there it?s refreshing to discover one with valuable, useful info ! I?ll be back to read regularly!
I’m looking for some really good business blogs to add to my google reader that are worthwhile following on an ongoing basis. Can you make and recommendations? I have Seth Godin’s already. Thanks!. . It would also be helpful if you told me why you liked these blogs..
@Margarete, Im communicating and talking to (writing is a form of speech) you and others here. I do not think it was wise of Mr. Hastings to use that argument to justify his position. Its divisive, short sighted and weak. Imagine going to the County and complaining that your City pays more tax than the next so you deserve a rebate, or complaining to the State that Pinellas pays more taxes than Pasco so you want a refund. Yes, we can prove that we pay more and than Pasco, should we get special consideration? Is that a rational argument? Would it have the potential to create a range war between two Counties?
