"Colour Pencils" 2006

"With out sun there are no colours and life" by Jonna Pohjalainen



JUMP for more amazing photos and a letter from Jonna & source







From the Letter of Jonna Pohjalainen

"I travelled to work in Pedvale with empty hands. I admired the lovely rural scene and the sunsets of Pedvale. I used local aspen in my work because of its lively forms and beautiful, grey colour. While you sharpen your pencils you can see time passing by. Colours bring joy and happiness in our everyday life. I chose a place of of my work because of the sunsets. You can sit and meditate near my work and look at the sunsets. Without sun there are no colours and life!"

I kid you not, Tic Tac Toe has moved up in the game. Bored? Don't pull out pen and paper, cause apparently the kids have gotten bored with that. Whip out Light up Tic Tac Toe. The video show you how it works. Simply fill the slots with water and to choose an X or an O, which is distinguished by color, use your fingers to press the water. And there you have it, Light up Tic Tac Toe.

A.I leaving the Grizzlies

Yay...it's basketball season. I get more pumped towards Finals! But apparently Allen Iverson is leaving the Memphis Grizzlies and he hasn't even been there that long. So what's up?

From head to toe, our bodies rely on water for essential functions and more. So what would Wet Wednesdays be without an actual bottle of water, corny but this must be known. Poland Spring is by far the best natural spring water on the east coast. The I am not sure how many states sell this water but I know California is not one! I went out there and they had no Poland Spring, I freaked out! I love Poland Spring, the water comes from spring sources in lovely, Maine! The new Eco- shape friendly bottle is amazing! The sip is so delicious and crisp, I am heading to get a bottle now. Lay off the soda and juices and drink some water!

So you think you know the 411 on H20? Check out these fun facts and start sipping smarter!

1. 24/7/365 — Most people tend to drink more water in the hot summer months, but cold weather can dehydrate too. So, always keep that water bottle handy.

2. Blood is thicker than water, but not by much! 79% of blood IS water!

3. More knowledge, less water — the elderly have proportionately less water in their bodies than the young, so staying well-watered is a big priority.

4. Get into some extra-cellular activity — water is a nutrient for every cell in the body.

5. Stay one step ahead — drink water before you get thirsty and keep dehydration at bay.

6. Beat the heat — travel, hot weather, and exercise all increase the body’s need for water.

7. Here’s a fact to chew on — our teeth contain 10% water!

8. Think about this — 85% of the brain is water!

9. Shock absorber — water helps to protect vital organs, such as the brain, spinal cord, and interior of the eyes.

10. A little goes a long way — small sips throughout the day are a smart way to keep well watered.

11. Hydration Alert! Did you know that kids lose proportionately more fluids through sweat than adults?

12. Feel-good factor — studies show that a water loss amounting to a mere 2% of body weight can have an effect on a person’s physical endurance.

13. No, No, No? Yes, Yes, Yes!

Water has no fat, no calories, and no cholesterol!

Men in Peacoats

There is nothing more sexier than a man wearing a peacoat. So this goes out to all men, get a peacoat!!! Women too, even though I'm over my peacoat phase. The H&M one is a favorite.

My mind is a little bit raunchy and the first thing that came to mind, was this joint

by Piles. It might be a bit out there for some but that's what Plies is best known for.

But ladies i'm sure when you heard this song for the first time,your hands were in

the air like, "ayyyyyy." Ladies we know about this, fellas can you handle?

Camper x Bernhard Willhelm

I am not too familiar with these designers, but after some web browsing I saw these boots and thought after about 3 looks and a long stare, they're not that bad. I 'd wear them because they're different and the leather strap really makes them standout.

Lil Wayne "The Carter"

If you enjoyed Lil Wayne's behind the music on VH1, then "The Carter" Documentary is a must see. Set for release 11/17/09 you can order your copy here. The documentary that documents the life of the rapper received great reviews after being shown earlier this year during Sundance Festival. Directed by Adam Bhala Lough, the documentary was produced through QD3 Entertainment, a company that is run by the son of legendary music producer Quincy Jones. Feeling a lil iffy about this, check out some more clips here.

The Beckhams...

This is one beautiful family, from the kids and to the parents. I can't help but drool over all 4 of them, I think one of her kids is missing. They're just so flipping hot. Just look at Victoria in those Christian Louboutin 140 MaggiePumps. I adore them.

Lady GaGa - Bad Romance

Creativity at it's best. Her videos are always entertaining and beyond crazy but that's what make her standout making her OUTSTANDING!

Wale - Attention Deficit

Wale's debut album, Attention Deficit, finally dropped today. I purchased it and I like it. He has some good tracks on there with some great other artists, don't doubt the man. Go cop the album and show some support. I love the cover, too cute.

Creativity has spun out of control when designers R&E Praspaliauskas created edible slippers. I am not sure how I feel about wearing bread on my feet, but if they feel as soft as bread does when it comes out the oven...I guess. Buy them and peep more pics here

We wanted to research foods that could help you stay awake. But none do that. The 'itis' is just inevitable it seems. There's only one edible substance that helps you keep up. Caffeine. Which comes in the form of coffee, soda, and tea. All which are super tasty. Here are some facts about caffeine.

• As a stimulant, caffeine speeds up the action of not only the nervous system, but of other major body systems, too. Within fifteen minutes of downing a cup of coffee, the level of adrenaline in your blood rises, which triggers an increase in heart rate, breathing rate, urinary output, and production of stomach acids. Basically, caffeine's effects are the reverse of what you want to happen as you go to sleep.

• Caffeine causes changes in the chemicals of your brain, mainly in 2 ways. One way, making your brain more alert. 2nd way, caffeine increases the levels of dopamine in your brain, which improves your feeling of well-being and improves your mood. It's this dopamine effect that is the root of caffeine's addictive properties.

• Some people are more caffeine-sensitive than others.

• For most people, the effects of caffeine wear off within six hours.

• It's the most popular drug in the world. 90% of Americans consume it in some form every day.

• Over 450,000,000 cups of coffee are consumed in the USA every day.

• 10g of caffeine is considered a lethal dose.

• Caffeine can be found in 60 different plants.

• In its pure state, caffeine is a crystalline white powder.

• Dunkin Donuts has continually beat Starbucks in consumer surveys.

During my days, and me being an avid hip hop supporter and follower. I miss the Girl hip hop groups!Goodness great to see female rappers. Not only have we had like only 6 females rapping thoughout history, I will say like 10 dont quote it. But to witness 2 females rapping just as hard as a male and to rock shows that would sell out, Wow! So for my Missing Monday, I would like to say I miss you Salt and Pepper and what you did and done for hip hop. BEING A GIRL RAP GROUP!!

21-7 Weekly Poll:

For how long do you shower on average?

15-20 minutes 47%
10 or less minutes 28%
20-25 minutes 14%
30 + minutes 9%

I'm mad 30 + was chosen! How dare you! The only time a shower should take that long is if you're a female and it's wolfing season. So you gotta wash your hair, shave your legs, underarms, nipples, cooch, and ass. lmfao, seriously tho. But really, on average, if you shower everyday, stats show, it should only be 10-15 minutes. You dirty ma' fuckers don't need more than that.

And yo peep this ceiling shower. I fucks with it. It's too big of a shower head though, that wastes so much water. If it was real low pressure it'd probably be ok.

peep the new poll

I miss listening to Chris Brown judgment free. Ain't No Way and Poppin use to be 2 of my fav. I enjoyed his 1st album. But now he's ruined for me. Jump for a playlist of that 1st album
