I wanted to say again that apart from the Facebook page, I also have a personal facebook, for those of you that would rather send private messages, this is it. I’m always here for you, and I’ll try to help you in anything you need.

And my twitter is this one =) Let me know if you want me to follow back. Have a lovely week!!

“I think it is unbelievably important that this film is made. Stephen receives letters regularly that say that reading ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ saved their life. I read the whole script in one sitting and it made me cry. It deals with the issues that teenagers go through, the real ones, the scary ones that no one really wants to talk about.”

My 8 year old sister’s advice on boys.

• Me: What do you do when you like a boy?
• Sister: You tell him.
• Me: And if he doesn’t like you?
• Sister: You kill him.

It’s either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim

 

I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I’ve lost since my childhood is washed out. I tell myself, if that were true, and I waited long enough then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I’d see it was Tommy. He’d wave. And maybe call. I don’t know if the fantasy go beyond that, I can’t let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I’m not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.

Dw by Kanye West Spring/Summer 2012 | Paris Fashion

Well would you look at that! Kanye’s done a mighty fine job here! But does this collection really live up to the hype it’s gotten? Either way, (even though he was a tad bit late to his own show) Mr. West has just made history! This collection (dedicated to his deceased mother) is a mix of sex, funk, and power: love it! What are YOUR thoughts on ‘Ye’s latest work?

Kanye West went to a fabric wholesaler in East London called London Trimmings, twice, and spent £14,000 (or nearly $22,000) on fabric and zippers. Best of all, he took time out of his busy designing schedule to pose for a photo with store owner Ashraf Loonat’s family and join them for a cup of tea.

The BBC reports:

“He turned up unexpectedly at first. He was very polite, interested in what we had to say,” [Loonat] revealed.

“What was really good was when I asked him [Kanye] why he was here himself he said, ‘I want to work from the ground upwards, I don’t want to leave it to someone else.’”

The rapper was without a large entourage on the shopping trip.

“He just had a couple of people with him,” said Ashraf Loonat.

The singer bought zips and fabrics in two trips to the shop.

The second time Kanye West visited the wholesaler, Ashraf Loonat asked if he wanted a cup of tea.

“We offered him a cup of tea and he said ‘Thank you very much, one sugar please.’ We got the kettle on for him and I was surprised he accepted it.”

According to the show invitation, the line is called Dw Kanye West, which is thought to stand for his late mother’s initials (her name was Donda West), and is being repped by international PR firm Karla Otto, whose client roster has also included Jil Sander, Viktor & Rolf, Emilio Pucci, and Marni, among others.

Adopt An Animagus: The ten-year-old black German Shepherd best remembered for playing Sirius “Padfoot” Black’s animagus in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is in need of a new home after his previous owner, stuntman Paul Thompson, was forced to give him up.

“I found myself spending a lot of time away from home,” Thompson says. “The dogs needed more attention then I could give. It was a difficult decision to make but one I had to accept was best for the dogs.”

Berry — or Shadowberry if you’re not into the whole brevity thing — is available for adoption along with his “best friend” — a German Shepherd-Lab mix named Porridge — through the UK-based German Shepherd Dog Rescue.

Two-Faced Feline: It was 12 years ago this month that a local pet breeder brought Frank and Louie to Tufts Veterinary Clinic to be euthanized.

You see, Frank and Louie is no ordinary cat — the verb conjugation alone should have tipped you off to that. Frank and Louie is a Janus cat, and he wasn’t expected to live very long. But veterinary nurse Marty was up to the challenge, and took Frank and Louie home with her.

Fast forward a dozen years, and the two-faced cat was just named the “longest-lived Janus cat” by Guinness World Records.

Don’t let the leathery skin and orange-y glow fool you: That’s not JWoww.

Despite sharing a similar appetite for man-flesh, Snappy is actually an 8-foot crocodile who recently acquired an artificial tan after getting territorial with his enclosure’s water filter.

“It doesn’t seem to have affected him at all,” said owner Tracey Sandstrom who runs the Roaming Reptiles traveling zoo. “He’s still got a healthy appetite, is normally aggro and doing everything he always does.”

According to croc expert Grahame Webb, Snappy is happy and healthy and will return to his normal color soon enough. “Our guess is that it is something in the water such as iron or tannins from leaves or some red algae that oxidises when it dries,” Webb told the Herald Sun.

The loss of open spaces might be to blame for a recent spike in reports of abused and neglected Indian cows lashing out.

Reports of injuries from cows biting people on the streets of Delhi have spiked dramatically. A total of 17 cow bite cases have already been reported for the first half of 2011. This is more that the total number of reported bites in the last six years combined. Bites can cause injury and infection to the victim and animal rights groups speculate the increase in bites is a result of angry and mistreated cows in a poor living environment.

Cows in India are tortured are abandoned by failed inner city dairy and leather operations. The cows are left to wander the streets but traditional grazing trails are being blocked by increased construction. To top it off, Delhi’s traffic congestion continues toworsen. Wandering cows become confused and agitated and can lash out when confronted or disturbed.

Vasanti Kumar, of Stray Relief and Animal Welfare (STRAW) tells the Telegraph that “Animals hear much higher frequency sounds than humans do, there is too much noise produced by traffic. This can be a cause of animals turning violent in public places, although their instinctive behavior is not to hurt.”

If this makes you wake up in the middle of night afraid of being cornered in a dark alley by a pissed off cow, it’s time to repent.

Any normal celebrity couple would answer to the rumors that their marriage has been drowned in a pool of crotch nectar from the husband’s side piece by issuing a simple statement that reads: “True” or “Not true” or “Your business: mind it.” But Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore aren’t even in the same universe as normal and have answered to the rumors on their Twitter pages. Demi quoted Greek philosopher Epictetus days before Star Magazine said her marriage was lying on a table in the morgue.

“When we are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.”

Then Ashton Tweeted a link to his Spotify account where Public Enemy’s “Don’t Believe The Hype” plays. A few days before Ashton’s Tweet, Demi Tweeted the picture above of her doing an impression of the current catatonic state of her marriage and she added the note: “I see through you.”

After being subject to a 36 million pound tainted turkey recall in August, Cargill is at it again.

Earlier this year, Cargill meat processing was forced to recall 36 million pounds of salmonella tainted turkey. Controversy erupted when it came out that both Cargill and the USDA knew about the contamination a full year before the products were pulled from shelves. The diseased product killed 1 person and sickened 77 others before officials decided to act.

The recalls continue as the company announces that new cases of salmonella contamination in their turkey products require 185,000 additional pounds of potentially contaminated turkey be destroyed. Cargill took steps to sanitize their facilities after the last recall but suspect the salmonella may be resistant to antibiotics.

Some meat companies can’t bear to part with recalled products and end up taking them off shelves, cooking them, and stuffing them in other products. In 2009, ConAgra foods took recalled E.Coli contaminated beef and stuck it in cans of chili.

Recycled meat can’t be any worse the burgers made of human feces, right?

Lil Wayne covers Vibe Magazine, October/November issue, check out an excerpt below:

WAYNE ON JAY-Z AND “THE OLD GUYS”

“There’s no competition [with any artists]. Music isn’t about competition no more. All the gangster rappers are happy, all the skateboard rappers are happy, all the white rappers are happy… Everybody just happy to do music these days. There are no problems. That shit died a long time ago with them old-ass rappers. We are just making music, making money and having fun feeding our families. Competition is for the old guys.”

VIBE: You say competition is for the “old guys,” but it sounds like you’re going at Jay-Z with that line, “I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money.” Are we looking at it the wrong way?

LIL WAYNE: I know for a fact, music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. If I know that for a fact, I can never be upset about someone’s reaction to it. I’m not gonna say I don’t know what will happen before I say it [on record]. I do know what will happen. I am aware of it. It is what it is.

VIBE: So you knew the repercussions of going after Jay before anything even happened?

LIL WAYNE: Well, I’m a man. I believe as a man you should know that. Every man should know the repercussions and consequences behind whatever they do before they do it. And of course, I know there won’t be any repercussions behind what I did.

WAYNE ON LOOKING AT DRAKE AS COMPETITION:

VIBE: You mentioned how humbled you were at the success of “She Will.” Drake, who wrote and performs the song’s chorus, has now become a platinum star in his own right. Do you look at the guy and say, “Wow, I helped create a monster, I have to stay on my toes”?

LIL WAYNE: I don’t look at it like that. Drake is my artist. If he wasn’t my artist, then yeah maybe. But that’s my artist. He’s not [just] a friend. We’re more than friends. It’s business. It would be impossible for it to be a competition. I mean, I’m the guy’s boss.

WAYNE ON HIP-HOP INFLUENCING THE LONDON RIOTS:

VIBE: Given that Cash Money artist Jay Sean is a native of the U.K., you probably have some strong feelings about the London riots and how some talking heads blamed it on hip-hop culture.

LIL WAYNE: All you could do is pray for the people that were dealing with the situation and hope for the best. As far as them blaming hip-hop, you can blame Jesus for things, so you can’t really fault anybody for blaming someone or something. All you can do is hope for the best.
