If I didn’t live in such a boring place like Greensboro I sure would hope to hear this song BLASTING at a club. This has to be a favorite song at the moment!

Looks like there are going to be some pretty good movies coming out in the fall since this has pretty much sucked when it comes to decent movies.
1. The Black Swan by Darren Aronofsky.
2. Another Year by Mike Leigh

I am a little slow to putting this up but two weeks ago I ventured off to the DR for 9 days with my friends Kate and Megan to visit one of their friends, Rebecca, that lives in Santo Domingo. Here are our adventures:
Day 1: I meet Kate and Megan in the Miami airport and grab a couple of cocktails. We board the plane filled with excitement and chatted away. Around 8 ‘clock we arrive in Santo Domingo to find Rebecca and Dante waiting for us. We go to her apartment (30 minutes from airport), drop off our belongings, head to dinner, and call it an early night.
Miami airport= start of vacation!!
On the top floor of the building is Rebecca’s apartment
These are the steps we had to travel up with luggage in hand. At least no one fell…
This is Candy, the downstairs neighbor’s dog.
“I want candy .Doob doob doob dayo”
Day 2: We wake up around 6:30 am to catch a bus to Las Terrenas, which is about 3 hours away. Once in Las Terrenas we get to our hotel, Iguana Hotel, grab a bite to eat and then take a long stroll down the beach. We hang out on the beach drinking Presidentes until dark and then decide to take a few motoconchos back to the hotel (we grab a bottle of rum on the way). Motoconchos, motorbikes, are the cheapest form of transportation in the DR and will cost you about 2-3 dollars to hop on the back of one. I will tell you though, they are pretty dangerous (I feared for my life at one point). Also when you get on one make sure you get on from the left side or else you will burn the shit out of your calf from the scolding hot exhaust pipe (I have the scar to tell me this). Once at the hotel we just relaxed the rest of the night on our porch drinking rum and coke talking the night away.

Beautifully done “Manner” posters displayed in the Tokyo subways between 1976 and 1982, informing passengers on subway etiquette and good manners. I just love the colors an of course the comic book themes of many of the posters. Apparently all the posters are published in a book titled, “Manner Poster 100″ by Teito Rapid Transit Authority but I can not seem to find a link to it. I wish I would see these posters in subways today.
This poster, which reminds passengers to take their belongings when they leave the train, shows Astro Boy returning a forgotten hat and umbrella to his creator, Osamu Tezuka.
This poster is a reminder for passengers to clearly show their train passes to the station attendant, even when they fly like Superman through the ticket gates.

Having trouble deciding whether getting into a relationship with your co-worker is a good idea? or maybe even your first cousin? or how about that really drunk dude at the bar who happens to be your professor? In case you were ever wondering, here is a nice flowchart that outlines whom you may socially acceptably date and how the degree of relation determines the acceptability of relationships. Some of them are just too too funny, especially the dungeon master!
Great interactive infographic done by Newsweek exploring the world’s top 100 countries based on the study of health, education, economics, and politics.
