my t obsession.

So,I found this t-shirt (via StyleBytes). Is it not just amazing? Oh how I loves me some T. What, you say? Who is that? Why it's Mr. T of course! Born on the South Side of Chicago (what what), he started out as a bodyguard before landing a part in Rocky. He then starred on The A Team.

(I would embed it, but I don't know how. Maybe someone can help me out with that?)
Anyway, he then moved to Lake Forest, a suburb of Chicago. The people there still dislike him because he removed some old growth trees from
the property (This gets a mention in Dave Egger's book A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a good read, by the way) To improve his image, he made a motivational video called Be Somebody...or Be Somebody's Fool! That's where the point of this post comes in. Basically I want you to see this video, from the show:

Is it sad that I actually like some of the outfits?

Finally, I would like to finish off by showing you my final project for ceramics. It's a...drumroll please...Mr. T(ea)pot!
Yes, I'm very proud.

an ode to target.


Australian Target puts ours to shame
Stella McCartney is at the top of her game.
If you're an Aussie, you're in luck
Unlike us Americans, still stuck in Proenza schmuck.
With pretty little blouses just like these
Stella McCartney is sure to please.
But who spends a 100 dollars [american] on a freaking Target shirt?

If you have all odds going againist you (living in Australia with oodles of money to spend on Target clothes) you can visit the offical site.
