Why Am I Here

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

all you’ve done is convince me that michael collins was one of the funniest men alive tbh

DELIGHTFUL. WONDERFUL. I’m going to print this out later and show Primm.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK???????????

His name is Mehdat Mamdouh, he’s a 22-year-old hip hop and dubstep recorder player from Cairo.  He’s been teaching himself this style since he was 14.  This article links to his social media sites.  He’s on Facebook and YouTube and Soundcloud.

I think I missed his name and info last reblog

Fuck yes. That’s some talent!

Reblogging this again for his name and info.

Like, this is epic and all, BUT LOOK AT HIS SMILE AT THE END OMG I AM IN LOVE

Look how amazing!!!

Never talk to me or my 42 trees again

This is informative and perfectly sensible under the circumstances but I also cannot resist the temptation to compare it to planting stuff all around the boundary of your lot in The Sims

hey my friend showed me the worst game in the wrold it is call horse isle 3 it usually has no more than 100 players online at a time its map is about 5 times larger than the actual surface area of planet earth and the only animals in it are horses, humans, ants, rabbits and butterflies

Oh my god please watch this I swear it is the best laugh you will ever have ever

I’m the guy in the background

I love that the dog is just like ‘the people are being very weird but I’m getting a whole jar of peanut butter out of this, so it’s fine by me’

“aesthetic”

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS”

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.
