British artist Banksy left his mark on the walls of San Francisco after attending the premier of his own movie 'Exit Through the Giftshop' in Los Angeles.
So I've been following this blog "Paris Daily Photo" for about a minute now. ~A 5 yr minute
This guy has a great eye and it's short and sweet.
Like little french visual nuggets ...lol
Anyway under one of his daily photos, he comments on profanity in different languages,
I thought his comment was interesting. His comment is below the shot.
I apologize to those of you who will feel offended by this, but yes, you read it well : the title of the show by Florence Foresti (a very famous French comedian) featured in this theater is really Mother F%^&@# Of course for us French it does not really mean anything. It's just a word we hear a lot in American movies ;-) so we think it's alright to use it (even to put it up in lights at a theater!). Think about that when you swear in French; for you it's just a word, for us it can be most inappropriate...

The last design conference I went to in March, was sponsored by Corofoft.
It was pretty good and they gave out some interesting reading material.
I thought I'd scan some nationwide pay rates in the design field (entry level) for comparison purposes...
≈Interesting how differently you can get compensated for pushing the same pixels in different places....well Kinda ;^}
≈I love this song. It's may be environmental, but events around me recently, made me stumble into seeing the lyrics parallel ....let's say .."another meaning"?
Behind these walls
You can be so self-absorbed
Behind those eyes, no disguise
Disguise, no you can't disguise
Behind this fortress of an address
Stuck in the passion void
With a little style full and for a while
But you can't turn back time
Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
We got it all
The empire ever falls
We got all control, untold power to
Do what we wanna do
We got the moves
But there's nothing left to prove
There's only stardust memories
We can make come true
Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry
Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry
Merry-go-round again
A carousel
Passionate raid
An escapade
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
"This is what change looks like" President Obama Declared!
Would I be stating the obvious if I said that the Tea Party got tea bagged tonight by health care reform balls? Well all kidding aside, I know that It's left the country in a divisive place, but most major decisions that have our country have done the same. It might not be 100% perfect, but it's a step in the right direction, I believe. And being a person that has been denied health insurance in her late teens because of what 3 companies labeled a preexisting condition, I feel positive about this. Fining people for not having coverage is not ideal, in my eyes but we also fine people for not having car insurance? It costs us more when the uninsured show up in emergency rooms so either way we are paying.
This contested debate has been going steady already for more than a minute. That minute is 50 years long. Then costing most of his political capital, (when he still had some before the Lewinski Scandal,) the Clintons tried to do it again 20 Years ago. The Republicans say they do not feel defeated but I think it will just be a matter of time before we see the (Republican) finger-pointing beginning. We already have seen the vicious and racist name calling.
The Huffington post has this list as things that people will see immediatly and benefit from As soon as health care passes.
The legislation will:
Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions for children in all new plans;
Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high-risk pool;
Prohibit dropping people from coverage when they get sick in all individual plans;
Lower seniors prescription drug prices by beginning to close the donut hole;
Offer tax credits to small businesses to purchase coverage;
Eliminate lifetime limits and restrictive annual limits on benefits in all plans;
Require plans to cover an enrollee's dependent children until age 26;
Require new plans to cover preventive services and immunizations without cost-sharing;
Ensure consumers have access to an effective internal and external appeals process to appeal new insurance plan decisions;
Require premium rebates to enrollees from insurers with high administrative expenditures and require public disclosure of the percent of premiums applied to overhead costs.
By enacting these provisions right away, and others over time, we will be able to lower costs for everyone and give all Americans and small businesses more control over their health care choices.
What happens next?: Democrats hope to pass the Senate bill Sunday and the package of changes designed in part to make the overall legislation more acceptable to House Democrats. President Obama can sign the bill into law if it passes.
Oh snap my plan’s come undone
I’m free falling darlin’ and the rising sun
Is brushin’, on your cheek shining steady through the blinds
I thought I told myself that I would take my time
I’m sure I said I wasn’t ready
She said she wasn’t looking
It’s not my fault that she’s so good looking
But she is just my type
But I was ...
I plan to follow
But she says she’s emotionally unavailable
Whatever that means I’m down with that
She kicked the cat out kid so I didn’t talk back
Clouds are running through the sky
Shifting shapes and I know why
They say that that’s what happens when you’re busy making plans
Wind blows the same I start to understand
You and I were meant for each other
And we’ll always stick together when the world starts to crumble
Say Hey hey
Let me hear you say hey
You can fall on me (x2)
Two weeks past and I still didn’t call
But your name was in my brain like graffiti on the train
(undetermined) but I didn’t have your number
I saw you on the bus but you were chillin’ with some other guy
I was like damn, I was jealous
But you gave me a look
And you smiled just the same
And three hours later, my phone did ring
And it was you telling me would I like to chill
At this (undetermined) on the block that was real laid back
And I’m like, “yea it’s on”
Clouds are running through the sky
Shifting shapes and I know why
They say that that’s what happens when you’re busy making plans
Wind blows the same I start to understand
You and I were meant for each other
And we’ll always stick together when the world starts to crumble
Say Hey hey
Let me hear you say hey
You can fall on me (x2)
When no one knows what tomorrow will bring
But you can fall back on me when you can’t win
This world is moving faster tougher every day
Aw baby just take a deep breath and let your troubles all fade away
I showed up late that really Teed her off
We couldn’t agree on much but the vibes were strong
Basically I fell in love with those big green eyes
You can say what you want cuz I was mesmerized
Now three years later and it feels so fresh
We stick together, sunshine, stormy weather
Clouds are running through the sky
Shifting shapes and I know why
They say that that’s what happens when you’re busy making plans
Wind blows the same I start to understand
You and I were meant for each other
And we’ll always stick together when the world starts to crumble
Say Hey hey
Let me hear you say hey
You can fall on me
