Kanye West: "Kim Kardashian Ain't Beyonce
Kim ain't
"...of course there are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding this past couple of weeks, especially the 'She's my Beyonce' quote. I would never compare anyone to my friend's wife,"
Beyonce
For some reason I found this quote from Kanye West funny. For one, he has a very valid point and two, the media is so fuckin' stupid sometimes. They make shit out of their ass for a story. But, at the same time...it's just funny that pop culture goes where it goes these days. Anything can be asked, and anything can happen.

Craigslist Cat Thought Dead is Alive
Lucky Cat Survives Ice Storm
Ends Up on Craigslist
Amie Donnelly thought her cat had died more than three years ago in a New Hampshire ice storm. But the black-and-white cat was too tough for that.
She was reunited with Daisy the cat on Wednesday.
Donnelly, of Derry, was living in Hampstead when she lost Daisy. The cat was spotted by a woman in the neighboring town of Plaistow about a year ago. Linda Hemenway realized the cat was living on her own and sought the help of an animal rescue group. They discovered that 5-year-old Daisy had a microchip that traced her back to Hampstead. But when they called the number, they got another family.
The Eagle-Tribune reports Hemenway kept searching. An ad posted on Craigslist did the trick and led her to Donnelly.

Schoolyards Target of Sex Traffickers
Sex traffickers Targeting Schools
It's the most chilling of hunting grounds. Sex traffickers who coerce kids into prostitution are using the city’s schoolyards and playgrounds as recruiting offices.
It’s such a troubling problem that Brooklyn prosecutors have started training educators on how to spot kids in peril on their turf.
“It happens enough that I can say it happens a bunch,” Assistant District Attorney Lauren Hersh told the Daily News. “Many girls are forced to go to middle school playgrounds and recruit other young girls.”
ersh, who runs a pioneering sex-trafficking unit for the DA’s office, has held several workshops and hopes to expand into as many schools as possible.
Last fall, pimp Abking Wilcox admitted turning girls as young as 15 into being sex slaves and making them recruit others in Bushwick and Brownsville middle schools.
Wilcox, who pleaded guilty in Brooklyn Criminal Court to three counts of sex trafficking, called it his “team.”
Hersh prosecuted another trafficker — a school parent, no less — after a guidance counselor at a Canarsie, Brooklyn, public high school blew the whistle.
At first, the counselor couldn’t believe the secret hell a 16-year-old student described.
But her tale of being forced to sell sex over the Internet by a classmate’s mom quickly rang true. Keep reading...
The scary truth about how the recruitment of sex slaves is haunting Brooklyn schools and beyond.

Amazing Spiderman Sequel Begins Filming in 2013
It's easy to forget about the web-slinger among the current Avengers Assemble media fury, but Spiderman is set to give The Avengers a run for their money later this year when Andrew Garfield steps into the spandex and takes up the role of Peter Parker.
Ahead of the movie's July release, it has been revealed that a sequel is already being penned by writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
Speaking about their faith in the writers, the movie's producers Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad say in a statement: "Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write a great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man.
"They have an innate understanding of what makes Peter Parker not just a superhero but a hero for us all."
The Amazing Spiderman is due for release on 3 July, 2012.

Creative Advertising
Blown Away by Social Media
.
I am someone that spends much of my day plugged in online. Regardless of the countless hours I spend on social media each week, I am constantly amazed by the capacity of social media to turn brands into exciting human entities. For this reason,
I believe that marketing and advertising are the most exciting industries to work in today. The role of advertisers is not only to develop creative new ideas, but also to discover new media in which to communicate these ideas. I want to study Creative Advertising to learn how to transform my artistic abilities and new ideas into tangible campaigns. At Vanderbilt, I am studying Communication, Corporate Strategy, and Studio Art. I believe that this course, more so than any others, combines my skills in each of the three disciplines I have chosen to pursue.
This summer, I plan to build on my existing experience with marketing and advertising. I am interning at Liquid Thread, a digital media division of Starcom Mediavest. This department develops “content that propels brands across screens and between people.” I will come away from this summer with knowledge regarding the most cutting edge ways to reach consumers and an opportunity to share these methods with classmates in the Creative Advertising course.
Campaigns that excite me:

Teens Using Hand Sanitizer to Get Drunk
Ok, what?! Teenagers in California were recently busted doing the unthinkable: getting drunk on hand sanitizer. This new trend is dangerous, and has sent many teens to the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
As ABC News reports, hand sanitizer is the latest in a string of household products used to induce intoxication, and it has public health officials worried. A few squirts of hand sanitizer could equal a couple of shots of hard liquor. California has a reported 2,600 cases since 2010, and it’s becoming a national issue.
Helen Arbogast, an injury prevention coordinator at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, told ABC News that, “Since 2009 we can see on YouTube it’s in all regions of the country. We see it in the South, in the Midwest, in the East.” Liquid hand sanitizer contains roughly 65 percent ethanol—the main ingredient in beer, wine and spirits—making it 120-proof. Compared to vodka, which is 80-proof, you can pretty much tell how serious a problem this holds. Keep reading this article

Diary of a Woman. Part 1
A Woman Unbridled [A Passion Least Resistant] part 1
the soft scent of lavender.
the powerful smell of his cologne.
the heavy musk of our chemistry.
passionate and heated. engulfed in the flames of lustful desire.
the morning after,
sheets in disarray,
an empty bottle of cabernet,
and a single string of pearls around my neck.
i hear him step into the shower and turn the knob.
hot water that's not quite unbearable, but just enough.
his favorite temperature.
he's washing away any trace of last night's escapades
and i wonder how he's planning to do that with my vanilla mint body wash.
it's no matter now,
seeing that everyone at the office knows.
they know about our intense glances,
filled with desire.
they know about our monday evening rendezvous,
the violets he sends to my desk every wednesday,
and the private company credit card he lets me use
to dress myself in the finest fabrics.
the only person that doesn't know is his wife.
or at least he tells me so.
but if a woman's intuition is anything like mine,
she knows i exist.
it is only a matter of time before everything comes to a head.
before our cover is blown,
our alibis are discovered.
and then....
but I live for the now, the present.
what will happen in the future, I can't detect,
nor do I bother to know.
and right now, bacon, eggs, and toast with a side of orange juice
sitting across from and gazing into my lover's eyes sounds like heaven.
Wow. My lover....
once a seemingly suggestive term,
now a name sweeter than a ripe strawberry in the peak of its season.

Great Ad.
Rarely do you walk down the street and see an ad that can actually inspires, instead of the typical billboard ads trying to brainwash you. This is actually pretty great and makes you think about your life and things you need to get done. Job well done Nike.
