Just a big ol' pile of awesomeness
I found a bunch of stuff today that neither pissed me off or made me feel all uncomfortable (oozinator).
First up, Chinlone. My new favourite sport. It has replaced competitive eating, lucha libre when they have midgets, beard growing and parkour. Here's a link to a site about a documentary of it with a bunch of really amazing video clips. (link) It's from Myanmar, it consist of five people in a circle and one in the middle kicking around a woven rattan ball and doing moves that look like a really skilled, complex, martial arts and dance influenced version of hacky sack.
Not quite as impressive, scientist have gotten water to run uphill. linky I want them to keep working on things that seemingly defy physics like that so one day I will be able to grab my self by the back of the shirt and lift myself off the ground like the Lorax.
More stuff, I've been looking at The Saddest Thing I Own. After a while I had to go read some postsecret cards about serious mental illness and self injury for a nice pick me up and change of pace. Why does everybody on the interweb have to be all depressing and shit, I liked it better when it was all naked people and free music...damn kids with your asymmetrical hair and myspace crowding up the net.
And another thing, why can't I find any classic slimjim commercials on youtube. The ones from the 90's where the MachoMan Randy Savage would bust through a wall and give somebody a slimjim to really the crushing mundaneness and sameness of life. Those little tubes of mechanically separated chicken and beef represented freedom. Freedom.
Urawaza is all kinds of good. Turns out all those tips and tricks that were in Japanese are actually from this one show. YouTube has a bunch of them.
Also, new (or kind of new, I hadn't seen it before) Gorillaz video: linkage
