The Blackhawks are Stanley Cup Champions....Again!

Two goals in 17 seconds.

That’s how you go from hosting a must-win, all-or-nothing Game 7 against a talented team and ending it on the spot, in crunch time on your opponent’s ice. The 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs have been amazing and I’m sure the NHL (or at least playoff NHL) has a bunch of new fans, in and outside of Chicago. This was simply some of the most exciting hockey I’ve ever seen. From the triple overtime barn burner in Game 1 to the back-to-back goals in Game 6, there was never a dull moment in this series, especially. Patrick Kane became just the fourth American to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable postseason player. He also led the Blackhawks with nine goals and ten assists (and one amazing mullet) during the playoffs. This was the perfect way to end a record breaking season. And after blunders from the Bears, Bulls and Lord knows the Sox, Chicago sports fans needed this. Cheers, Hawks.

Project X [Trailer]

Yo....

This looks insane. I know where I'll be on March 2^nd.
At first I was mad that this didn't come out when I was 17 but then after thinking about it, it's good that this wasn't out then. If it had come out when I was 17 I would have probably said: Timing is everything.

Horizon: The McGurk Effect / The Rubber Hand Illusion

The YouTube videos for BBC Two's Horizon are always really interesting. Check out these two I came across this weekend:
The McGurk Effect
The Rubber Hand Illusion

BBC got gigs.

Evidently, Dark Knight Rises Is About To Be Amazing

Yeesh. The build up for this movie is insane. And this trailer released yesterday will only add to the hype. It's gonna be a hot summer if Chris Nolan has anything to do with it.

Beautiful Swear Words

Call me ignorant, call me immature, call me whatever but I'm a strong proponent of the idea that curse words can make just about anything funnier.

If you agree, [which you should] then you'll be just as happy as I was when I found the website beautifulswearwords.com. I mean, it's not much. It's basically just a collection of illustrations of swear words presented elegantly enough to be embroidered on your grandmother's favorite pillow or even worn on your favorite t-shirt.

Go ahead, pick your favorite.

I'm going with either the red and yellow "Shiiit" or the black and white "Bullshit."
But that was an easy decision.



Stay classy, awr.

Intel Presents: Museum of Me

This is actually really ill. Intel has partnered with Facebook to create Museum of Me. It basically takes your Facebook profile and creates a virtual "museum" of yourself. It uses photos, friends and words and definitely works best if your profile is unlocked. I highly recommend you check this one out.

Yo, you gotta try this out.

A.ware - Lady Heroin [Album]

Any blogger can tell you that it's pretty easy to fall behind in your posts. Throw in a full-time job, frequently tearing up DC basketball courts and a rager lifestyle during the weekends and you get the idea. I did, however, need to make it back to get the word out about my boy A.Ware's most recent project, is Lady Heroin. It dropped yesterday and it's really sick. A.Ware and the team at Greedmont Park have been doing some pretty ill things as of late. Listen or Download Lady Heroin here.


Favorite Tracks:
-Money on the Flo

I mean, just check it out.

200 Beers in 80 Seconds....Sheesh.
