Text of the page (random words):
kmag was the first place i ever saw someone who blended those worlds without apology they ran a feature on a lawyer who spent half his life on the docks and the other half on a sailboat charting his own course both professionally and literally that story didn t just entertain me it stuck with me it was the first time i realized you didn t have to choose between your passions you could hold a brief in one hand and a tiller in the other and still be fully yourself that idea lit a fuse i kept reading dorkmag because it never dumbed anything down never chased celebrity nonsense and treated culture design music and creativity as things that mattered even years later when i was slogging through the grind of law school i d think back to those articles the human stories the sense of purpose the reminder that your career doesn t have to flatten your life it can expand it now when i m out on the water after a long week in court i sometimes laugh thinking about it a scrappy culture mag from the mid 2000s helped push me toward a jd and a coast guard inspected sailboat not bad for something once proudly calling itself dork sal marino dancing with mediocrity it s often said that while searching for the meaning of life and pursuing the almighty dollar a person can find themselves dancing with mediocrity that s a lie no one has ever said that it sounds like something corny you d hear in a movie preview if you think about it that sentence doesn t even make sense simply put life is not simple and no matter what any of us say nobody knows what is really going on i guess dancing with mediocrity is everyone s story told from the perspective of a kid in his twenties while living in his parents house in canarsie social awareness spotlight tolerance org is a principal online destination for people interested in dismantling bigotry and creating in hate s stead communities that value diversity if you want to know how to transform yourself your home your school your workplace or your community tolerance org is a place to start and continue the journey daily update june 30 2006 film what s new pussycat film what s new pussycat it seems like woody allen is enjoying a bit of a renaissance with the culturati the success of match point and growing anticipation for scoop have swayed detractors that thought he d never make another decent film we d just like to point out that we never lost hope of course we are fanboys we d like to suggest what s new pussycat a classic allen film for the long weekend it is his first screenplay and although the studio butchered his script you can still see the brilliance that lay on the horizon it s about a skirt chasing playboy who wants to be faithful to his wife to be but struggles because he has so many women swooning over him the film is one huge absurdist romp with one of the most insane theme songs ever tom jones rules posted by james film winter passing so you re a twenty something struggling actor trying to make it

theories like anti abortion but for the war the whitney collection presents an interesting question through art it reveals an american story as reported today in the ny times the important thing the show does is deliver the story a story of american culture through art it is a culture of staggering contradictions idealism and amnesia censure and unruled pleasure it is diverse and narrow souled with a devotion to the idea of power so ingrained as to make discord inevitable and chronic if full house is about one thing it is about discord it is about how harmonious america never was read more

aqualounge located at 323 west girard avenue from 10pm til late posted by taj daily update june 27 2006 artist jay z reasonable doubt artist jay z reasonable doubt it s interesting to think about the aging process as we get older are we also aging out of the pool of people who the music industry caters to we think so this is evidenced by the ever shrinking amount of new music we re excited about at the record store so as a follow up question is hip hop a genre that is heavily tethered to an age demographic does it need 30 year olds and older to survive as an art with integrity or can it be passed on to younger generations to keep it going who knows disco had no inheritance some argue that rock roll died with lennon hendrix and garcia obviously there s no right answer but it s interesting to consider the position of folks who have found their purpose in the music and now feel an obligation to stay involved jay z being one of them the new york times has an interesting article on hova and his reasonable doubt concert as reported if you remember the 90 s right now put one hand in the air right now that s a cleaned up version of what funkmaster flex said as he warmed up the crowd in radio city music hall on sunday night he asked how many people 25 and older and thousands of old timers made some noise this was a night devoted to ancient history which explains why
