Coming your way June 2011. Easily his most mind-blowing concept for a story yet.
Grrr.

Coming your way June 2011. Easily his most mind-blowing concept for a story yet.
Have I mentioned how photos of little baby animals cheer me right up? They do.

Nature vs. nurture?
It’s tough to say.
When you’re DNA is this fucking crispy.
And as a young’n you kicked it in Pari.
Your kid probably geeks out over trivial shit.
Like butterflies.
Or clouds.
Or glitter.
My kid gets wide eyed.
When we discuss the merits of white jeans in winter.
Monochromatic palettes.
And well worn DB’s in exclusive colorways.
We took him out of school 2 years ago.
So he could blog full time.
His diffusion line for Heelys hits Target next month.
Apparently it’s Jil inspired.
I’ve only seen the sketches.
You probably heard him at SXSW.
Moderating a panel with Lil Gevi.
And that dude who created Mad Men’s son.
Talking about the merits of social media.
And musing on what it means.
To inspire a generation of designers.
Who made names for themselves.
Before any of these Rugrats were even born.
They say rents live vicariously through their seed.
I’d have to agree.
I tweet vicariously through him.
Because he has more followers than me.
While you’re in a Town & Country.
Stuck in traffic.
Taking your worthless brat to soccer practice.
I’m speeding in a Hummer limo.
With my kin.
And Uncle Karl.
Popping bottles.
Making our way to the front row.
This really shouldn’t come as a shock.
I mean.
He was conceived.
In Brunello’s booth.
At Pitti Uomo.
My meal ticket.
My only son.
The truth.
The future.
My legacy.
Steezus Christ.
My only son.
Oh Rand. Don’t you know Hazzard County is in Georgia? And that it isn’t real? And that it has two Zs?
“Rand Paul is an ophthalmologist, so he’s not in the business of dispensing terminal diagnoses. ‘It’s a happier practice,’ he tells me, ‘than being an oncologist.’”
(from here http://www.details.com/culture-trends/critical-eye/201008/rand-paul-kentucky-senate-republican-campaign?printable=true#ixzz0va38jp3H)
Does this sentiment not seem typical of the current Republican state of mind? Talking a tough game, but really, they’d just rather be in a happier practice. Why not stay there and leave the tough jobs to people who can actually do them well (George Bush I’m looking in your direction).
Paul, you’re an ophthalmologist. Perhaps even a good one. Please pull that giant mote out of your own eye and leave a field where you are clearly outclassed.
“It’s famous for, like, The Dukes of Hazzard.” - Rand Paul, candidate for Kentucky’s U.S. Senate seat, on why Harlan, Ky. (which is near Hazard, Ky.) might be famous.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
“The bottom line is I’m not an expert, so don’t give me the power in Washington to be making rules. You live here, and you have to work in the mines. You’d try to make good rules to protect your people here. If you don’t, I’m thinking that no one will apply for those jobs. I know that doesn’t sound…” Here he stumbles, trying to parse his words properly but only presaging his campaign misstep. “I want to be compassionate,” he concludes, “and I’m sorry for what happened, but I wonder: Was it just an accident?”

And don’t bother becoming an expert on YOUR OWN STATE or ITS HISTORY or ITS REALITIES or anything like that.
