erinmicklow: purifyin-g: aerocum: Marina Abramović, Rhythm 0, 1974 “This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.  Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.” This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.” This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.” gosh We learnt about zimbardo’s experiment in psychology….and this is why, we are have laws in tact, because we cant be trusted with power. Living in Los Angeles, I don’t doubt that anybody here would be the same.

karatam: nightosphering: postapocalypticfashion: When Aisha Tyler was selected to be the presenter for the 2012 Ubisoft E3 press conference, she received an unprecedented flood of hate from trolls who complained about the fact that she knew nothing about gaming. Too bad haters didn’t do their homework first, because as it turns out Aisha Tyler knows more about gaming that all of us put together. Her Facebook response was awesome and predictably went viral. In case you missed it, here’s her masterpiece. Haters, take note. Dear Gamers I play. I’ve played since I was a little kid.  Since I begged my dad to buy me a Nintendo LCD Donkey Kong, Jr. Since I blew through three weeks’ allowance playing Defender at the laundromat. Since you were a twinge in the left side of your daddy’s underoos. I’ve been a gamer since I made friends with a girl in the 5th grade just to get at her Atari. Since I missed the bus playing Galaga after school. Since I missed the start of Return of the Jedi playing Tempest in the theater lobby. You think you know. You don’t know. I’ve been a gamer since before you could read. Since I aced midterms after staying up all night playing Evil Tetris. Since I became dorm champ at Leisure Suit Larry. Since I double-wielded on Time Crisis 3 at Fuddrucker’s. I was a voice in not one, but two major video game titles. I hosted the Reach Beta tutorial. I was a Gears of War superfan panelist at ComicCon. I hosted the Ubisoft presser at E3 2012. I didn’t do any of it for the money.  For most I got paid next to nothing, and for some, less than that. I did it because I love video games. Because I’ve dreamt since I was a kid of being in one of the games I love. How many games have you done voices for? How many cons have you repped at? Your buddy’s Unreal Tournament garage deathmatch doesn’t count. I go to E3 each year because I love video games. Because new titles still get me high. Because I still love getting swag. Love wearing my gamer pride on my sleeve. People ask me what console I play. Motherfucker, ALL of them. I get invited to E3 because real gamers know I’m a gamer. I don’t do it for the money. I have plenty of money. I don’t do it for the fame. Fuck fame. I do it because I love video games. I don’t give out my gamertag because I don’t want a mess of noob jackholes lining up to assassinate me on XBL.  I don’t give a shit what you think about my gamerscore. I don’t play to prove a point.  I don’t play to be the best. I play because I love it. I play. I’ve been playing my whole life.  I’m not ashamed of it. I don’t apologize for it. It’s who I am. To the core. I’m a gamer. So to all the haters out there who claim I don’t play; To the GAF dicks,  Gamespot trolls,  To every illiterate racist douchebag on Youtube: Flame away. Go nuts. Post every jackass comment your heart desires. I’ll still be playing when your mom’s kicked you out of her basement and you have to sell your old-ass console and get a real job. For now, I say to you respectfully, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, GFYS. #distant sound of a mic being dropped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_burn_centers_in_the_United_States

I’m really excited because in a few days I will get to hang out with some of the coolest people I have ever met and a new gal who I haven’t met but have heard nothing but good things about :D Its not a Deftones concert or anything but Marilyn Manson is going to be so bad ass :D And if it wasn;t for the awesomeness and kindness of these people, I probably wouldn’t be going to such an awesome show (But i would still have definitely gone to the bar after) :) So thanks a billion and I can’t wait to see you guys :D 

also, this is another reason why I fucking love Deftones with all of my soul. If it wasn’t for the sweet music that is Deftones, I probably would have never met such awesome people :)
