Chernobyl: As it Sits Today
Every time I see photos of Chernobyl, I'm as creeped out as I am interested. A blogger decided to share photos from his tour he just took at the abandoned city. Take a look! You can see the entire album here.
Baby Jesus Butt Plug
You've seen everything, right? So you thought. For that born-again friend in your life or that Christian neighbor who simply doesn't know when to take down the Christmas lights, there's a gift to brighten their day. It's the Baby Jesus Butt Plug!
This isn't a joke! You can purchase this for $35 at Divine Interventions. It also comes in Green, Black, Gold, and several other colors!

Roa Takes on Mexico
Graffiti artist Roa just took a trip to Mexico and some of his works were posted on ekosystem.org. I think Roa is doing some of the slickest stuff right now and he's quickly becoming one of the my favorite artists in the scene.
From ekosystem:
"Roa: "Mexico is just wonderful, wonderful nature and people. I have some credits and people to mention; the whole trip was on invitation of Gonzalo Alvarez from MAMUTT ARTE in collaboration with MUJAM (Roberto), so two organizations from my friends Gonzalo and Roberto. And I painted with Sego and Saner.""
Saner and Sego aren't too shabby themselves. These pieces are amazing!

Wayne Coyne: His [experimental] House
Wayne Coyne might quite possibly be the most interesting person in music. The front-man for The Flaming Lips isn't just one of the founding fathers of experimental rock (as we know it today), but his house represents a similar approach as his music.
If you're unfamiliar with Coyne and The Flaming Lips, I strong urge you to watch the Documentary The Fearless Freaks (which is available on Netflix Instant). You don't have to like The Flaming Lips or even know who they are to enjoy this film. It's an exceptional look into Wayne Coyne's inception of the band and his quirky approach to making music and living life.
The architects responsible for Coyne's unique home is Fitzsimmons Architects. I included a few photos from their site that are of the home, but to view the entire catalog, visit here.
Please keep in mind that this isn't a mansion. As far as I can remember, it's actually his childhood home that he remodeled.

Detroit: The Fall of a City - In Photos
Photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Mefre have put together an amazing 230 page book with incredible photos of Detroit. It's over 180 sensational shots of the interior and exterior of the dilapidation known as Detroit. They offer you a glimpse into the book's offerings on their site, and it's astonishing.
It's amazing how something that is in such despair can appear so beautiful in this context. It also tells a story of how far the city really is from recovery (if it can be recovered at all).
The Book Itself:
It can be purchased for $125 here. Expensive, but this book seems like the ultimate in the Detroit coffee table book genre.

Valentine's Day: Setting the Mood
If you get shut out on reservations for the romantic White Castle dinner there is a second option. I present the White Castle scented candle. yummm.....
Valentine's Day
February 14th is right around the corner and all the love birds in this country are going to be flocking to the local fine-dining establishments for a romantic dinner with their sweethearts.
But if you're single, a hopeless romantic, and/or slightly depressed on this day, where, other than the couch with a bag of Hershey Kisses, is there a place for you? The answer might be a lot closer than you think. So, if you're single with a mild case of the 'lonelies' (or white trash), here's your answer. Just make sure you make reservations!

Some Things Never Die
I think the first site I ever remember visiting on the internet and truly being blown away was Pixyland.org**. Unless you were born yesterday, you've probably been to the site in its ten year existence. Anyways, I figured this might put a smile on someone's face if they hadn't visited in a while...or are sadly visiting it for the first time.
Also, it might want to be added that this man got married approximately two years ago. If you browse his site, you'll find his wedding pictures. If you're single, this is visual proof that there is someone out there for everyone.
But for pure entertainment purposes, just check out Randy Constan's "fashion" page here.
**Be warned, music auto-plays on his site.

Black and White Brought to Life
Take a look at these. They're old black and white photos (that are obviously very iconic images) that were filled in with color. It's amazing how much more impact they have when the colors compliment the shot.
First: "Burning Monk"
Second: "VJ Day Kiss at Times Square" ("VJ Day" the day victory over Japan was declared in WWII)
These colored photos were submitted to Reddit, by user: mygrapefruit

Snake Eyes
Primetoystore.com is a great site for picking up anything vintage (or new) in the action figure/toy front.
Aside from the enjoyment of browsing hundreds of toy lines (most of which I never even knew existed), Randy Herkowitz (owner) does fantastic reviews of a lot of newer released toys and rates them on a "value" rating of between 1 and 5.
Now, I'll admit that I was never the biggest GI Joe fan growing up. For me, it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, and Transformers. Despite that, what child doesn't know who Snake Eyes is?! He was pretty much the biggest badass in the Joe world (although Stormshadow is a close runner-up).
Anyways, Hasbro recently released an incredible Snake Eyes figure that only retails for $7-8 on your local retail shelf.

Thug Life
When this kid grows up, I'm hoping he he looks back and says, "what the fuck?!" At the very least I hope he upgrades to a Big Bird hat when he hits high school, or puberty; whichever comes first for him.
