Because, very sadly, some people have a fixation on race which they simply cannot look past, generally caused by various inferiority complexes and other related issues.Comment

Today for breakfast, I had rice with an 2 eggs on top, with some shredded chicken on the side. Didn't use tortillas as I'm trying to cut back. Once a week at the most.
What I'm waiting for though is this weekend. My wife and I are going Christmas shopping for the kids. We've already got them some cool stuff. Lego Indiana Jones game for the Wii. A skateboard for each. Saturday we'll get them some more cool things.
Til next time,
Post from out of the blue in the color of purple.
A lot of people have said it is too far from their original material, but if you consider that it's been ten years since their last studio album, it was always going to be. Nonetheless, many people also say it is the best work they have ever done, even better than 'Dummy'. I would have to agree with the latter. Stunning album and an absolute must have!

Hey, has anyone heard the latest Portishead album? 'Third'. Really, really damn good. If you are into the Trip-Hop sound or anything similar, this is one album that must be had.

I bought it as soon as it came out. Its dope, but it doesn't grab me like the self titled and Dummy which are in that order because I like them in that order.
I wish I could see them live. Their one of my top three favorite musical acts of all time.
The others being Psycho Realm and Prince.
Something about those acts that start with a P.Comment

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) was founded in 1849 by William Holman Hunt (1827-1910), D.G. Rossetti, John Everett Millais (1829-1896), William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Thomas Woolner, and F. G. Stephens to revitalize the arts. (Even though William and Michael's sister, Christina, never was an official member of the Brotherhood, she was a crucial member of the inner circle. Although the young would-be art revolutionaries never published a manifesto, their works and memoirs show that having read Ruskin's praise of the artist as prophet, they hoped to create an art suitable for the modern age by:
Testing and defying all conventions of art; for example, if the Royal Academy schools taught art students to compose paintings with (a) pyramidal groupings of figures, (b) one major source of light at one side matched by a lesser one on the opposite, and (c) an emphasis on rich shadow and tone at the expense of color, the PRB with brilliant perversity painted bright-colored, evenly lit pictures that appeared almost flat.
The PRB also emphasized precise, almost photographic representation of even humble objects, particularly those in the immediate foreground (which were traditionally left blurred or in shade) --thus violating conventional views of both proper style and subject.
Following Ruskin, they attempted to transform the resultant hard-edge realism (created by 1 and 2) by combining it with typological symbolism. At their most successful, the PRB produced a magic or symbolic realism, often using devices found in the poetry of Tennyson and Browning.
Believing that the arts were closely allied, the PRB encouraged artists and writers to practice each other's art, though only D.G. Rossetti did so with particular success.
Looking for new subjects, they drew upon Shakespeare, Keats, and Tennyson.
In addition to the formal members of the PRB, other artists and writers formed part of a larger Pre-Raphaelite circle, including the painters Ford Madox Brown and Charles Collins, the poet Christina Rossetti, the artist and social critic John Ruskin, the painter-poet William Bell Scott, and the sculptor poet John Lucas Tupper. Later additions to the Pre-Raphaelite circle include J. W. Inchnold, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris — and even J. M. Whistler.Comment
