Chuck Norris wants to Be President…. of Texas.
Texas Governor Rick Perry stated today that the state of Texas may secede from the United States of America should the federal government not change it’s current fiscal policies. But the potential maximum awesome overload doesn’t stop there. The only man brave enough to lead the “Nation of Texas” is apparently up to the task. You would assume maybe one of the infamous texan former presidents might be into this role, but in comes CHUCK FUCKIN NORRIS like a flaming roundhouse kick to the face of the universe by announcing he’d be totally into holding the fate of the free world in the palm of one of his deadly hands. Norris is quoted as saying, ““I may run for president of Texas, That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
Thems fightin words.
Also please note the humilty President Norris shows in actually alluding that someone other than himself might be boss enough to run the Nation of Texas. Come on now.

NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas was recently hired to coach the basketball team at Florida International University. While this isn’t inherently stunning, what is impressive is the fact that he has decided to forgoe payment for his services for his first season in light of the fact that the University was planning a series of layoffs due to the state of the economy. Of course I need to also point out that Thomas is due approximately 12 million dollars over the next two years from the New York Knicks, but I think that in today’s age of ego and ridiculous salaries for athletes and entertainers it is nice to see someone making a gesture like this.

I’m feelin the recent trend of Hipster Hop. Kid Cudi is a self admited Hipster and he proves it on his debut mixtape “A Kid Named Cudi” that was put out by 10 Deep, when he samples the Funeral by Band of Horses. I don’t mind when music I like is sampled tastefully and not butchered (I’m looking at you Flo-Rida aka David from the Real World, Skweedaboodeedaboodeeeeeeeee.)
Thanks to Oh-Revoir for telling me about Tilt Shift. We had a fun afternoon of miniaturizing. These are my first attempt at doing it.
24K GOLD + SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS = THE GREATEST MOST EXPENSIVE BIKE EVER MADE
The folks at Aurumania decided it would be a good idea to hand build bikes, then gold plate them and hand adorn them in over 600 swarovski crystals. They were right. Although I can tell you that the anxiety of getting doored would be through the roof, given the $102,418.60 (US Dollars) price tag. To think I had to do layaway for my $600 bike.
100K and you don’t even get brakes. Sucker.
