something speechless.
Hello.
It has been a while. I just wanted to share this absolutely astounding artwork with the world. Jason deCaires Taylor creates these life-size sculptures, with great detail and execution, and releases them into nature. Over time, these pieces become part of the earth...especially in certain areas where oceanic life is scarce, these sculptures help underwater life develop and morph into natural and simply beautiful work. Many of the human-sized sculptures are portraits of particular faces or people that he discovered and wanted to include, perhaps creating a doppelganger in another form, where life is clinging unto it, rather than it clinging onto life.
I cannot describe much more, but I think there is not much else to explain, just to have your eyes explore...:

For those who love Paris.
Nostalgia.
The constant reminders of places that we've been, places we are, and places we will go are a perpetual. I remember Paris as my home, my city.
This is for all those who live, love, and breathe Paris:

Dana Carvey: Church Lady Drum Solo
I'm watching Saturday Night Live's Special: The Best of Dana Carvey and we came across a character he played called "Church Lady." He's most well known, of course, as Garth in Wayne's World with Mike Meyers. Born in 1955, he's able to do over 64 impersonations, including: Bob Dylan, George W. Bush, Paul McCartney, but the characters he creates are a wonder of their own...
I highly recommend that you watch The Best of Dana Carvey because it's fucking hilarious.
Now, the video's a bit shotty, but this "Church Lady," performs with Willie Nelson and Danny DeVito, and busts out a badass drum solo. This is who will be wailing:

Tibetan Sand Mandala
I was in my Art History class and my teacher showed us this video called, "Mandala: World of the Mystic Circle." Yes, the name sounds 'hippy-dippy,' but the context of the film was very interesting. They showed an exclusive revealing process of how Tibetan monks made these transient sand mandalas. It's an incredible process, extremely intricate and aesthetically astounding.
Some of the speakers are pretty unbearable to listen to, but through this video I actually found out that Uma Thurman's father, Robert A.F. Thurman, is an author, scholar, and former Tibetan Buddhist monk, he is also the Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University. Apparently, he is also close friends with the Dalai Lama... it did seem as if his left eye was unmoving and unblinking. It just so happens that he lost it in a jack lifting accident in 1961 and has an ocular prosthetic. A pretty badass man, I must say.
The monks make these mandalas with small funnel shaped tubes that are tapped with another weighted object to stream the sand accurately into place. It is an interesting thought, but after they are finished with it, after working on it for days, they brush all of it up, and let it flow back into a body of water. Think about it.
Regardless, here is a short clip of these Tibetan monks creating this crazy mandala:

Camille.
Camille Dalmais is known in the music world, simply as Camille. She was born in Paris, France in 1978 and is well-versed in ballet, acting, singing, and is fluent in English. She is strange and this video is awesome. It is called "Ta Douleur," which translates to "Her Pain."

the progress of humanity from 1810 to 2009.
First of all... I love this Swedish man. His name is Hans Rosling, he is an academic, medical doctor, and statistician. This video shows how we as an entire society have become healthier and wealthier since the 19th century through to to the 21st.
If you're interested in more of his work, then look into this website, TED, which is also awesome for other informative and unique speeches into the development of humanity.
