Kickass song and fucking AWESOME music video shot by Raul Machado
Neil Young and the Sound of Music
You know what the biggest problem with music today is?
Sound quality.
That’s Neil Young’s take on the issue, anyway. For years, the musician has been obsessed with improving the way modern music sounds, sonically speaking.
Neil Young, Graham Nash & David Crosby sing Miley Cyrus` “Party in the USA”
Jimmy Fallon is a fucking RIOT!
This.
This is how every photo-set on tumblr will look like if any anti-internet bill is passed.
It would be a world with no cat gifs, no tumblr porn, no hilarious memes, no GPOYs, no movie stills with captions, and no instantgram. It would be world without personality and freedom. A boring and oppressive world where the government tells us what to do every step of the way.

Believing in god does not make you a better person. Not believing in god does not make you a better person. What does make you a better person is helping another in need, regardless of your faith or lack thereof.

Harmonies are a bit askew but shit, that`s one cool trio.
Primal mind: nutrition & mental health - Improving the way you feel & function & cultivating an ageless mind
by Nora Gedgaudas
ABSTRACT: Learn about the myth of “the mind-body connection” and how diet can powerfully impact mental health and cognitive performance, including a discussion of strategies for improving memory and cognitive function at any age using “Primal principles” and how to slow (maybe even reverse) the process of brain aging. We’ll also address common issues like chronic anxiety, depression and ADD/ADHD, what modern day mechanisms might be at play and how a Primal diet and certain added nutrients can better address mental, emotional and cognitive issues. Few individuals seem to make the connection between physical and mental health. As long as one is able to find one’s self above ground in the morning, get up out of bed and power through a work day it is commonly assumed that one is healthy. Being thin and active in most people’s minds is tantamount to good health (or just not being “sick”), even while the same person may also suffer anxiety related issues, depression or have trouble mentally focusing at work or at school. We all see the world through the lens that is our blood sugar (the extent to which one might be dependent on this), our hormones and neurotransmitters and yet forget that it is our diets that must entirely supply the raw nutrients needed for these critically influential physiological catalysts. Mental health issues and cognitive challenges are nearly ubiquitous today. According to the work of respected nutritional pioneers such as Weston Price these same mental and brain health issues were nearly unheard of in many primitive and traditional societies consuming a diet consistent with that of our more distant evolutionary ancestors. Modern research findings offer added understanding and a new layer to ancestral dietary principles that can lead us toward the promise of optimal brain functioning, emotional liberation and the cultivation of a potentially ageless mind. By applying many of these “Paleo” principles today and modifying them to our more modern circumstances we can re-cultivate and improve upon the healthy Primal Mind that is our birthright and the key to our future as a species.
Still learning, philomath for life. This shall be forever upon my heart, it’s truly my motto.
Thanks a bunch for the GREAT times. Love U dearly ;-)
OMFG, almost busted a nut with this one!!!! Dead on Shat impression btw, on par with Kevin Pollack’s - well played, sir.

Dad Photoshopped Ewoks Into His Family Pictures to Convince His Kids Ewoks Were Real
“Being the Star Wars geek that I am (so is she), I told her that this is where the Ewoks live. She spent a good chuck of our time hiking keeping a lookout for any Ewoks. Coming home I can’t say that she wasn’t disappointed that we didn’t find any. I had to explain that they are extremely shy and hardly ever let anyone see them. After we got home, and after I had a little time alone with the photos, I told her I thought I saw something strange in a few pictures. We viewed them on the TV to get a larger image. You can imagine how surprised and excited she was when we discovered that we didn’t see any Ewoks, but they saw us, and had certainly taken an interest in her and her little brother. Maybe I’m a little wrong for lying to her and falsifying the pictures, but I don’t care. She’ll never forget the time she spent in the big woods with Ewoks.”
what is this photoshop nonsense? everyone knows Ewoks are REAL
That’s AWESOME. I wish my parents had told me about Ewoks instead of the Tooth Fairy, Santa and Jesus :-p

Ask the Surgeon General or your garden variety grammar nazi of choice:
Bad grammar IS an STD which you CAN in fact contract if sexting unprotected. This explains quite a lot.

Na última sexta-feira, em texto de Tiago Chagas, o blog “noticiou”: “Marisa Lobo é [...]

Autor: Alex Rodrigues Às vezes eu tenho a forte impressão que Joseph Ratzinger, o atual papa, se esforça para dar declarações desprovidas de qualquer sentido. Segundo uma agência de notícias católica, a EWTN, e a tradução e divulgação do site do Paulopes, Ratzinger disse que a atual crise que assola a Europa “nasceu da rejeição de pessoas [...]
