MY NEW FAVORITE BLOG - GREAT COLLECTING GOODNESS
Thinking on music
Kenn used to work at The Exclusive Company. Kenn has one of the largest music collections I have ever been privy to. On certain days at the mailhouse I worked at, Kenn would arrive and pull a CD out of his knapsack.

THE Social Media Brainwashes
- Most TV shows give teens the work idea of life
- They give ideas on how not to think for yourself
- Makes women look like simple sex objects
- Says that you should care what others says
- If your friends do it it’s cool.
Well they are wrong

Oh and don’t try to be way to different.
In the desperate attempts to try to be different from everyone else, you become part of the people you yourself were trying to separate from in the first place. Follow your mind. Not your friends.

What happened to video games?
Remember the 8 bit and 16 bit era?
I now I am not the only one who thinks games today suck.
I am not ashamed that I still play Gameboy and have my Super Nintendo!
Keep your Xbox 360!
A year later, I’d just like to commemorate the great honor of seeing Thomas Gottschalk in a parade. Thank you, Jesus.
Still slightly pissed he didn’t throw Haribo.

Rebranding the cops: the new Milwaukee Police Department website has a striking design.
I mean it’s rad as a site, right? But I still get creeped out by the increase in depictions of a militaristic police force. Promoting that attitude seems ripe for attracting those shooter game, trigger happy junkies who just want to be tough assholes pushing folks around. Neat stuff here, pretty to look at, but just a bit creepy.
How much money farmers really make
The El Zacatón sinkhole is the deepest water-filled sinkhole in the world. It was long considered to be bottomless, but in 1997 NASA solved the pit’s mystery when it sent an underwater robot into the waters and found the depth of El Zacatón to be 1,112 feet. The clear, blue water is highly mineralized and has a sulphurous odor, and it’s quite warm — averaging 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The sinkhole’s name comes from the free-floating islands of zacate grass that blow across the lake in the wind.

Holy crap this is insane.
