What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.

Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can
Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Marty Supreme: Movie Review
Marty Supreme presents itself as a sports film, but it isn’t really about victory, legacy, or even competition. It’s a hyper focused character study of an athlete whose entire sense of self is tied to proving his superiority even when the proof is unnecessary, humiliating, or already lost.

You're so academical. I only watched cartoons as a child, lol!
I used to LOVE National Geographic! But since the magazine acquired by Rupert Murdoch, I have had a hard time reading it. National Geographic History is fantastic though.
Dad always had an entire shelf of National Geographic. I had a classmate in grade school who brought them to school to show his buddies the bare breasted women in Africa.
