“Well sometimes, if you have a government that is committing violence and you are just passive in going along with it, it is a violence in itself. Being passive with, you know, a [sic], being non-violent with an oppressive government or passive, I mean there are non-violent ways of being active as well, but, um, but passivity can be a form of violence as well.” —Natalie Portman, giving us her great wisdom, especially with the last part: “I mean there are non-violent ways of being active as well, but, um, but passivity can be a form of violence as well.”. /sarcasm

Jersey Shore's insight into friendship and sex.
  • Snooki: I just don't like Vinny lying to me.
  • Deena: I know.
  • Snooki: Vinny's, like, one of my best friends.
  • Deena: After that, now he has to bang you.
  • Snooki: He has to.
  • Deena: He has to.
  • Snooki: To win my friendship back.
  • Deena: Yeah
  • Snooki: Yeahhh!!

planning to watch last night's season premiere of "Camelot".

Eva Green’s in it! Surely it won’t be as great as Merlin, though…

Tom Hardy is adorable
  • Alan Carr: You were a tearaway in your teens, weren't you? You were even facing a jail sentence at one point.
  • Tom Hardy: A couple times, yeah.
  • Alan Carr: *not sure what he said; sounds like "that was a bit forward*)
  • Tom Hardy: I'm just suburban.

I love Tom Hardy
  • Alan Carr: You've played a lot of menacing characters in your time... You give a good psycho, don't you? ... Where does that come from? Does that come from inside you? Is that like a little dark Tom in there?
  • Tom Hardy: I think it's because I know what frightens me, y'know? And actually I'm a big softie, and uh, that's why I'm covered in tattoos and everything. It's actually because I'm quite scared of everything (laughs). So... Hear me out, alright? The thing is, I'm actually naturally a fearful person. So my job is to actually reflect people, and mimic them. So what frightens me, I find a bit scary, then I portray in characters. That's it.
  • Alan Carr: Alright...
  • Tom Hardy: That makes sense?
  • Alan Carr: A little bit.
  • ....
  • Tom Hardy: If I get around and I get angry, it's 'cause I'm a sweetheart. I want everyone to love me.

I just saw "Exit Through the Gift Shop"

It was good. Y’all should see it!!!!!!
1.5 hours long
street art
it’s funny, endearing, and somewhat philosophical

YUKON HO!

My tiger friend has got the sled,
and I have packed a snack.
We’re all set for the trip ahead.
we’re never coming back!

We’re abandoning this life we’ve led!
So long, Mom and Pop!
We’re sick of doing what you’ve said,
and now it’s going to stop!

We’re going where it snows all year,
where life can hve real maning,
a place where we won’t have to hear,
“Your room could stand some cleaning”

The Yukon is the place for us!
That’s where we want to live.
Up there we’ll get to yell and cuss,
and act real primitive.

We’ll never have to go to school,
forced into submission,
by monstrous, crabby teachers who’ll
make us learn addition.

We’ll never have to clean a plate,
of veggie glops and goos
Messily we’ll masticate,
Using any fork we choose!

The timber wolves will be our friends,
We’ll stay up late and howl
at the moon, till nighttime ends,
before going on the prowl,

The timber wolves will be our friends,
We’ll stay up late and howl
at the moon, till nighttime ends,
before going on the prowl

Oh, what a life! we cannot wait,
to be in that arctic land,
Where we’ll be masters of our fate,
and lead a life that’s grand!

No more of parental rules!
We’re heading for some snow!
Good riddance to those grown-up ghouls!
We’re leaving! YUKON HO!

Christopher Columbus

In 1492,
he sailed the ocean blue
In 1493,
he stole all that he could see
