none of my heroes knew who their heroes were

"On June 30, 1859, the Great Blondin successfully crossed Niagra falls on a three-inch manila rope stretching from the American side of the falls to the Canadian, a total span of 2000 feet. It took him 20 minutes to cross above the Niagara River on what would be the first of 8 crossings. Twenty five thousand onlookers would come to Niagara Falls to watch this amazing feat and Blondin did not disappoint. Always a showman halfway across the rope he calmly sat down, and then proceeded to lay down on his back and rest his pole across his chest before resuming his crossing. He then proceeded to walk the rest of the way to the Canadian shore, however he would perform a back somersault to the amazement and shock of the crowd, before finishing his amazing feat.

On a subsequent crossing Blondin pushed a wheelbarrow containing a small stove made of sheet iron across the gorge. To the delight of onlookers he then proceeded to light a fire and cook an omelette while suspended on the rope, he lowered the omelette down to passengers on the Maid of the Mist who ate it before Blondin continued his crossing."






I cant believe this guy.
I thought walking through my neighborhood after 10pm was tough, wrong.

For my next trick, i will stretch a manila rope across canada and walk 160ft above the ground from Halifax to Victoria.

wood grain tights

Patterned tights mean a lot in this day and age.
I like them a lot, but i don't want to cross into ironic territory.
Things that look like other things have a lot of benefits, and its nice to say my legs look like tree trunks.

I'm just making a philosophical decision to be post-irony. If i had these could would i be sacrificing my morals?

"Any really good artist, or just any happy smart person can explain quickly and simply why things like fame, or the art world, or war are essentially meaningless and then also how these things attract young stupid white kids, or people with mental problems, or classic Americans as a result of the of these populations having low consciousness and/or intelligence. If you really are into the art world or TMZ or the Taliband it means you have a type of retardation.

But at the same time, since these populations have such a predictable and simplistic understanding of life, I think it is okay to inject good ideas and good energy into these retarded systems, so that we can help evolve the universe. And to do this you have to sometimes wear the right kind of shoes or try to think up clever answers to questions I guess. I don't know, I think the next big thing in the art world is going to be The Beastie Boys."
