Writer Highlight- Host 18 DYM
Host 18 is another writer that gets around location wise; city, state, country, and abroad, from wall to steel. You’ll also see him get up as 41 Shots, if you don’t get the homage you need to find out.

Song of the Week- Japanther, “Challenge”
Much like the weather I’ve been having a bit of a creative drought. Whenever that happens I always fall back on Japanther. This song most def has that good ol’ sentimental attachment.
“challenge and opportunity, rise above the smoke and debris”

With Apologies to Paul Simon
Via my college roommate:
“Systems of accreditation do not assess merit; merit is a fiction created by systems of accreditation…. Our elaborate, expensive system of higher education is first and foremost a system of stratification, and only secondly—and very dimly—a system for imparting knowledge.”
-from Death by Degrees
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in college
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Internet
You give us those nice funny memes
You give us the greens of Pantone
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a MacBook computer
I love to post a blog
So Mama, don’t take my Internet away
