Burnet Art Gallery in Chambers Hotel

The Minneapolis Chambers Hotel’s, Burnet Art Gallery is showing Strassheims self portrait, which has never been shown in a gallery with exception to this gallery! It was great to have a tour by the director herself and learn all about the hotel and its collection! I have always admired this piece and it was great to see it in person! <3

American Pyscho





American Psycho … Classic! perfect to watch on this stormy night! I’ve been falling in love with Christian Bale and his amazing ability to be so many different characters! From American Psycho to being Batman and then of coarse his recent performance in The Fighter!

Were Killing Ourselves Off Slowly but Surely









This just in! Humans are so intelligent that we have now succeeded in leaking Radioactive Isotopes that have a half life of 50,000 years, into the ocean! We're going to kill ourselves off faster than evolution had planned. Awesome!

Seven Pounds.

Seven Pounds. Directed by Gabriele Muccino. This film has been on of the most heartbreakingly, bittersweet stories I have encountered since the movie released in 2008. His passion and obsession to right his wrong, a mistake that he will never, really be able to take back, gives me goose bumps every time. What a story line and plot. The character Will Smith becomes is one of his best moments next to his character in, The Pursuit of Happiness. The cinematography is breath- taking as well and matches up flawlessly with the theme. love it!

Our Society is Fucked. The End.

Our society is so fucked that 11 year olds are getting gang raped. and our media (New York TImes) includes comments in their article like," well she dressed older and wore makeup like a 20 year old woman." Which is obviously so irrelevant to an 11 year old being raped. 
-What does this say about our society?
-What does this say about our Media.. in not only the reporting aspects but what of the violent images pushed into everything? and child pornography on the rise, MN being one of the tops states for sex trafficking...
What are we going to do to in attempt to halt sexual violence towards woman and children... probably nothing. Go Humans!





my answer to a person who commented," these parents need to be more aware of these types of situations and teach their kids about avoiding sketchy situations. The girl went willingly into a car with one of the suspects alone."


there are so many people in this world who shouldn't have children but still do.. there fore it is not any child's fault for having shitty parents , shitty parents will always be there. This child obviously is 11 and does not have the cognitive skills to understand or make decisions concerning her own safety. The child is not at fault for the failure of her parents.. And there is never a fucking reason for anyone to get RAPED!!! Regardless of how they became into the situation! The fact that an 11 year old who obviously has no guidance got into a car with someone is not a fucking reason for these fucks to GANG RAPE her repeatedly and video tape it. It disgusts me that anyone would ever even think that it is relevant that she got into the car... yes this must make it her fault, same with all the other children who are tricked, and "willingly" get into a situation with strangers or even people they have know previously, who end up abducted or raped. It is so ignorant to even bring up that fact that she chose to get in the car.... she is 11 for christ sake!!! The fact that, that has been apart of how people are perceiving the story is exactly proving the point further that our society is fucked and doesn't look at the human ethics that is happening. WOW.
