Mississippi-lessly??

I don't know why pizzle updates have been so few and far between. I really don't do much besides work and then after work, try and keep myself busy with books, music and movies. Keyur's departure leaves me drained alot of the time. But I think it's time I plowed on.

First, new tagline. My brain is still unstable, and I'm still fucking handsome as hell, but after much deliberation I've decided to go with the best line from the most climactic moment in the final scene of 8 Mile . The entire movie up to this point was about Jimmy struggling to find his voice. It was about his fight to define his identity on his own terms. Throughout the different battles in the last scene we can see Jimmy slowly gaining confidence, moving from timid to confrontational and whimsical,

"You look like Snoop Dogg just got a fucking boob job"

and finally, to complete rage and defiance,

"You don't know what the fuck I been through. "

Like Travis Bickle, he'd had enough and he was standing up. Living his life, however imperfect, his way.

Secondly, with the help of G, I've set up a photo gallery! It is still heavily under construction, but I'm super stoked about being able to offer a pictoral glimpse of the Shlep (since, as some of you know, I'm not so good with the words).

Right now, I'm working on the albums making up my two most formative experiences, dorm living at Moore-Hill and studying abroad in Singapore. The Dorm pics are many, but I hopefully have made semi-entertaining captions and I also hope my compatriots do not get too embarassed. There is also a plethora of Singapore pictures that I'm still organizing, but for now follow the link in the sidebar and enjoy what is there, there's plenty more to come!
