FEELING FOR JAPAN.

My step-bro and his wife Shima just got back from Japan less than 4 days ago. they took the most amazing pictures and made me even more envious that I have never been there. Not only is Shima an excellent photographer but she is also very good at capturing humans and nature with warmth. Like you are there. and you personally know these people. Now, i think i should say at this point that I don't want to show some pics that Shima took in order to make this tragic, sad situation even sadder... or put a major damper for anyone peeking at my blog. but i do want to show how beautiful it is in japan. and how beautiful it will be again. how it is also natural for things to change in this world. nothing, especially when it comes to the earth, is going to say the same. as sad as it is, devastation such as this has happened many many times before. i have faith that the people of japan will build themselves up again. we all need to realize that we are all humans together on this planet. no matter if i am sitting here in lukewarm minnesota cozy in my home or if someone is going through the horrible situation of living in japan at this moment. we all need each other. we are all each other. in fact, the only thing I see when i look at the photos of the tsunami from japan, i think how that could be me, that could be my house, that could be my parent's house. I think this because it is true. i am that person just as much as they are me. when we are fighting this devastation, we are fighting it together. even if you don't personally know somebody living in japan at this moment, we are all fighting the same fight. doesn't this notion make all the other bullshit we "deal" with seem pretty invalid and shallow? can we try to forget the other bullshit?? ok... there's my rant.

heart.

who loves sam rockwell? Who loves sam rockwell gettin' down n dirty?

Here is a great video of Sam Rockwell showin off his dance moves over.. and over.. and over again! who knew he was such a .DANCE.MACHINE. in all his movies. brilliant! video made by my roommate ms. ali ide.

no go.. go on! bust a move!

women. light. nature. (yes, you may call me a treehugger if you really need to)

i found this wonderful photographer named Lukasz Wierzbowski (who also happens to have a great name by the way). i love how he photographs women with all very comforting things, sunlight. the outdoors. and of course, big colorful blankets. who doesn't love to be outside in the sun wrapped in huge comfy blanket? makes me feel like i'm watching a scene from virgin suicides. well a scene from the first half of the movie anyways. very lovely.

FASHION ALERT.

I recently found this great fashion blog called the Sartorialist that allows me to look at really pretty people wearing really pretty things. Its a street fashion show.. every.day. i love it because the one thing i love the most about going to Europe is to check out the fashion. with the lovely internets i can do it from my couch. *cha-ching* here are some shots i liked the most:

lots more to be seen for those of you out there that don't have a lot of money but love looking at fashion
