So, losing Tika has been kinda rough. I miss her trill, her hair that got all over the house, but also felt so nice between my fingers, I miss her determination and fierce spirit and her love for yelling at me. I miss her sigh, her snoring and the sound of her nails clicking on the floor. I miss her happy little face when I came home or when I opened the snack box. I miss pretty much everything about her. The house is so empty without her. BUT ..I do realize how lucky I was to have her the length of time I did. She was good to me. I don’t know why exactly this song feels right to post right now..but it does. The video is brilliant too. Hope you enjoy.
A tad on the long side but really a pretty strong effort, super clever. Loving the soundtrack too, which is also mixed by the artist Karim Rejib
Thank you Cool Hunting for a sweet video/song. I am loving the Afropean 1970′s chic vibe.

Oh man. There is so much to soak in here..do spend some time following every link and absorbing every photo and music track..it’s all good. So good. Sud Africaan white trash tearing it up. Serious style here. I love it.
Apparently this band has literally exploded since Feb 1 when Boing Boing posted an article about them. That was 7 days ago people. In that 7 days they have lined up a endorsement deal with Puma (sweet) and are booking a world tour. Here is an article about the fallout. Thank you Boing Boing. I only wish they had merch…
U900. Adorable. Seriously. Can Japanese art/culture be ANY cuter?
So. I’ve had this video sent to me multiple times. I love that my friends know that I would love this. And I do. It makes me tear up..EVERY time I watch it. This morning..I got it again. And frankly it’s well timed. For a variety of reasons. But mostly..because everytime I watch this I think..with some more work, and passion, and not giving up, I can do anything. And so can you. Don’t settle.
So good.

Workers attempt to remove a 100,000-pound crane that fell onto the Santa Rosa, Calif., home of Michelle and Kevin McCarthy on Nov. 17. The couple had hired a contractor to remove a 150-year-old oak tree in the backyard for fear that it could fall. Instead, the crane fell and sliced through the house the McCarthys moved into just a few months earlier. No one was home at the time and there were no injuries.
I always cringe when someone takes a tree down. Occassionally there is good reason, and the tree is a hazard. This tree looks pretty solid though. I hate to say it..but that might just be some karma coming at them…
