Growing up I remember at my family’s dining room table there were a lot of do’s and don’ts. 1-Wash your hands before you sit on the table. 2- Say Grace. 3- Keep your elbows off the table. 4- Use the proper utensils. 5- Don’t chew with your mouth open. 6- Do note stick your fork in the person next you food. 7- Excuse yourself before leaving the table. Today as the world gets more modern, eating at a family table is almost non-existent. On average a working family really doesn’t have much time to sit together and enjoy a meal.…
Black Audio Film’s final video-essay explored the Faustian drama of 26 year old Tupac Shakur, the charismatic hiphop MC and actor whose unsolved murder transformed a brief career into posthumous legend. Through Tupac, George fashions a fascinating and complex meditation on the legacies of revolutionary nationalism, the notion of destructive character and the intensity of a life lived as death wish.

One of the best ways to introduce yourself without saying a word is in the way you dress. People will automatically judge you based on what you are wearing at all times if you’re an artist so give them something good on the eyes yet still delivering the whoa factor and at the end something worthy of talking about.

Do- You do not have to wears the most expensive outfit.…
Dating can be pretty damn terrible. Essentially, you meet up with an almost stranger or a complete stranger whom you’re attracted to, and have to fill three or so hours with banter that makes you come off as smart and sexy. If it’s going swimmingly, you’re stressing out over how to keep up the good vibes. If it’s a bad first date, you’re struggling with how to call it a night without hurting your date’s feelings. Not to mention the monkey wrench that online dating throws into the whole process. You try your best not to make it obvious that you have never…
I feel like my perception of the passage of time is distorted: When I read a book or watch a movie created in 1995, my first thought tends to be “Oh, so it’s pretty recent.” And then it takes a few minutes for me to register that, no, actually that means it’s 20 years old. TWENTY YEARS. And then I feel so, so ancient (like, I might as well just start wearing house coats and buy an easy chair and never get out of it because it’s all going to be over soon). But although I often perceive the ’90s…
