Auto


Currently the baddest commercial vehicle on the road (aside from the Aston Martin DBS). The A5 is the entry model but it's bigger brother the S5 comes equipped with a 354 horsepower V8 that's suitable for speeding to work or the club in a frame that complements both activities. It's sophisticated, bold and frankly just plain ridiculous. I am a BMW fan mostly because their bodystyles fuse the socialite with the executive but I think the A5 and S5 have claimed a spot in the conversation. Enjoy the aesthetic.

Queen Rania




Queen Rania is the current most attractive woman in all the land in this site's opinion. The Jordanian Queen is obviously beautiful physically but in addition to her physical gifts she has a very admirable philanthropic portfolio. She ascended to queen at the age of 28 and has used her status to champion women and children's rights across the globe. Recently she has appeared on YouTube in which she asks people to send her questions regarding Islam and the Arab world. She wanted to initiate an open forum to openly discuss and debunk popular myths and stereotypes of Muslims. The initiative was a success and she continues to work for humanitarian rights. In any case the combination of her beauty, title and most importantly altruism gives her number one draft status on this site.

Inauguration Day



Today is Inauguration Day and I have to say that personally it is a slightly surreal experience. It is just one of those things where you're not sure what to think because it is something that you haven't seen before. In retrospect I might find the sentiment and words to articulate the occurrence but as it stands today I will just enjoy the inauguration of our 44th President. I might be a cynic in many respects but today, for this occasion, I am going to appreciate what is going on in front of me...I think everyone should...

The Clown Prince



The Dark Knight broke box office records last weekend with it's debut gross of $158 million dollars and it maintained that momentum with another $75 million this weekend. It's stellar performance was expected if only because it's inherent status as a summer movie blockbuster sequel to a commercially exceptional first installment. However, after seeing the movie its accolades and praise cannot be understated because the movie is a superior piece of cinema for several reasons. Most notably The Dark Knight is provocative and indelible because of one actor's dynamic interpretation of a classic villain. Heath Ledger assumes the Joker so completely that you cannot imagine another adopting the role prior to or ever again. The film is darker than it's PG-13 rating but you must see this movie. Alright I'm done with my Ebert and Roeper bit.

UK Standup!


This is American Boy by Estelle featuring the always self-deprecating Kanye 2tha. The beats bananas, Estelle's voice compliments the track well, and ofcourse Mr. West accents the whole thing with clever lyrics.

You're welcome.

GTA IV - "Grand Theft Autonomy"

If you're a fan of videogames or even pop. culture by now I'm sure you have heard of the Grand Theft Auto series and GTA IV. The latest installment was recently released on April 29th and it is expected to be one of the best selling games of all time. There is a reason for this....

The game is crack...(with apologies to crackheads).

You assume the role of Niko Bellic. An eastern european import who is persuaded to America by his cousin Roman. The main premise of the story is the canonical American Dream - that being "money, power, respect" as Lil Kim once boomed on a hook. Unfortunately the often quixotic American Dream is not what it seems as Niko soon finds out.

The story is highly engrossing and the gameplay is even moreso. The game is similar to the Sims in that it is meticulously detailed and nuanced to an almost obsessive degree. The scale and scope of GTA IV is impressive and a credit to all involved in it's production. However the experience will almost certainly destroy your actual life as you become more immersed in the complex world of GTA. I realized this when I fell asleep to watching a satirical version of MTV Cribs in the game. I was watching the protagonist Niko watching a version of MTV Cribs. The fact that I fell asleep to watching a fake tv show in a videogame for over an hour is a microcosm of the depth of the game and scariness of its addictive nature. You must play this game even if you're a passive gamer, but be warned that it may take over your life.
