I hoped the guy on the left would turn and show his face but I like the body language in this.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon addresses a panel discussion on Children and Armed Conflict, specifically attacks on schools and hospitals in armed conflict. “Schools and hospitals must be considered zones of peace,” he said. ”Let us resolve to keep up the pressure on all who violate the rights of children in conflict, whether it is in conscripting child soldiers or threatening schools and hospitals.”
Mr. Ban is flanked by Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned, First Lady of the State of Qatar and Chairperson of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development; and Ambassador Peter Wittig, Permanent Representative of Germany to the UN and Chair of the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, who chaired the panel discussion.

There's been a great discussion ( blogs.chron.com/bayoucityhistory/2009/08/last_look_at_eas... ) in the Houston Chronicle's blog, "Bayou City History", of the old Adams Street/Lockwood Drive bridge over Buffalo Bayou at this location, where the Lockwood Drive bridge now crosses the bayou. That discussion made me want to see if anything remained of the old structure.
There are the remains of old concrete bridge abutments on both sides of the bayou. The south bank structure is largely buried. What appear to be windows on the abutment on the north bank are the recesses that would have held the bridge beams.
The large structures that would have held the bridge mechanism and counterweights would have been in the bayou and would have been removed as hazards to navigation when the rest of the bridge was removed.

1) I have horrible posture.
2) My nose is huge.
3) My facial hair sucks.
But god damn it if I'm not handsome. ;)

I saw someone do this really cool a really cool profile portrait that was super dramatic and had these crazy shadows, so I decided to have a go at it!
A lot of people may not know this about me, but I listen to a TON of hip hop. For some reason, when I first meet someone, that isn't the impression that they get?? I think because I used to have super long skater hair, people thought I listened to a different genre of music.. but nope. I listen almost exclusively to hip hop. I grew up on hip hop, listened to hip hop my whole life, and will continue to listen to hip hop for the rest of my life. It's just something I can't ever get tired of.
And the hip hop culture is amazing as well. I lurk a bunch of hip hop forums and I can read the discussions for hours on end. Unfortunately though, a lot of people, mostly older people, think hip hop is ignorant music for hood rats. They listen to one "hip hop" song on the radio and immediately generalize that kind of music to a particular group of people.. But that's actually one of the things that I love most about the culture of hip hop. Not many people dig deep into the underground artists, into the more introspective types of hip hop. A lot of my favorite rappers talk about their stories growing up, the struggles they've had as teenagers and adults, and how they've made something from nothing.. And I think that's inspiring. It's easy for me to relate to.
As for my favorite artists/albums?
Below the Heavens by Blu & Exile is my #1 album of all time. If you haven't heard it yet, you need to give it a chance. HMU and I'll give you a download link to it. It's actually my girlfriend's favorite album too! :3
Another one of my favorites is, and this may be an unpopular opinion to some, Kanye West.
If you think about it, without Kanye, the hip hop game would be completely different today. Think about when College Dropout dropped, what other kinds of hip hop were dominant? Gangsta rap. Then Kanye came and literally, LITERALLY, changed the game. Without Kanye, there would be no Drake. There would be no Kendrick Lamar. And those two are two of the most popular out there right now.. And yet, people don't give Kanye credit, and instead, bash him as a crazy lunatic who wants nothing but attention.
Listen to College Dropout. Then listen to Late Registration. Kanye completely changes his style between albums. Then listen to Graduation. AGAIN, he changes his album. 808's and Heartbreaks comes next, and once again, his style is completely different. His greatest album in my opinion, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, shows a completely different Kanye. I don't know any rapper that can change his style like that for almost every album. Crazy.
Kanye haters, give Yeezy another chance.
This one's for you Nave Dhesi
