Fuck Yeah Hooping: Why I hoop.
I keep getting asked why I hoop, so this is why.
I don’t hoop because it’s a good workout. I don’t hoop to be better than anyone else. I don’t hoop to show off.
I hoop because it’s fun. I hoop because it’s unusual. I hoop because the first time I ever danced with a hoop…

Idea #8796789 to live a little more artfully: send people stuff in the mail!!! I found this amazing list of blog post of crazy-cool ideas of items that are 13oz or less that you can stick a stamp on and put straight into the mail. Now, thats sort of ingenious…and it feels so good to give sometimes, better than receiving!

Blanket Day 2012
The day we can all be broken, together.
If you’re in LA feel free to come and lay at my house, I will be making Apple Fritters. We will also be watching football at some point.

—On the face of it, the engagement ring’s origins as a financial commitment should make modern brides-to-be wary. After all, virginity is no longer a prerequisite for marriage, nor do the majority of women consider marriageability their prime asset. Many women hope for a marriage in which housework, child-rearing, and breadwinning are equitably divided. The engagement ring doesn’t fit into this intellectual framework. Rather, its presence on a woman’s finger suggests that she needs to trap a man into “commitment” or be damaged if he leaves. (In most states today, if a groom abandons a bride, she is entitled to keep the ring, whereas if she leaves him, she must give it back.) Nor is it exactly “equitable” to demand that a partner shell out a sixth of a year’s salary, demonstrating that he can “provide” for you and a future family, before you agree to marry him.

Very interesting article which also points out that engagement rings are an entirely modern tradition not even 100 years old.

Location: Los Angeles
Know that on the right hand from the Indies exists an island called California very close to a side of the Earthly Paradise; and it was populated by black women, without any man existing there, because they lived in the way of the Amazons. They had beautiful and robust bodies, and were brave and very strong. Their island was the strongest of the World, with its cliffs and rocky shores. Their weapons were golden and so were the harnesses of the wild beasts that they were accustomed to domesticate and ride, because there was no other metal in the island than gold.

QUOTES OF THE MOMENT
I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited —Sylvia Plath
Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the ‘good life,’ whatever it is and wherever it happens to be. —Hunter S. Thompson
