I call this the OOOWWWWW-di D7



Audi D7
I know I'm abit late with this one but...this is the kinda car I want..I'd never take this bad boy past 15mph...maybe 20. It ain't about the speed....it's about cruising...It's about driving so slow, pededtrians can see exactly who's driving.
I think Audio have defo blown every other car I've seen, out the water. (That Chanel Fione wasn't even nice, I just posted it cos I thought it was wierd that Chanel was designing cars). I don't think this D7 has actually been constructed. You'll find it online under the title, "Audi D7 Concept"....alls I can say is, "Get it MADE!".
This car is by Iranian designer Kave Naser Bakht. The thing I love about this is the LED light that runs around the car. The shape is exagerated giving the complete design a futuristic look. But place it on the city street of New York or London...you get a "FLY" look (google the definition of the slang word: fly)...you get a "FRESH" look (google that too). Or place it on my favourite city (which I'm yet to visit), Tokyo!
The off-putting thing for me is the electric motor. There are certain sensations that you get from a nice roaring diesel engine like an aston martin or whatever (I'm not big on car knowledge....I just know that an aston martin has an angelic roaring tone to it). Nevertheless, it's the green option and as long as it doesn't sound like a K'Nex creation then I'm content.....

Fifth of Life Strife

Okay, so....I'm 19, and I've discovered something about me that nobody has discovered about themselves at this age before. Forget terrible twos, threes or fours. This is beyond yet before a midlife crisis. I call it, 'The Fifth-of-Life Crisis' (see what I did there?). Yeh I made this up. To be honest, this crisis has not come with age at all.

I've come to a point in my life where I'm striving for more in everything: my money, my relationships, and more importantly my walk with God.
The topic of this blog post though is.....MONEY!
The amount of time and effort I put into Facebook, this blog, reading other people's blogs, and twitter, is ridiculous...and what do I gain from it? Limited hype, a wider social group, but otherwise, nothing. This thing about it is...I don't have a job. All the time I put into online 'communication' could be put into getting a job (I have reasons for not doing so), or at least some way of making money.
So, right now, the mind of jezta (moi), is currently ticking away on get rich quick schemes. I need to find a way to make money.

I'm going to break off here before I end up saying something I regret and before I let you in on premature thoughts and concepts or plans. Let's see what happens aye. This is just something I had on my mind that I thought I'd blog. Keeping you up-to-date on current jezta affairs.

Gisele Bündchen by Solve Sundsbo

It was really good browsing the internet to once again see pictures of my wife Gisele (Bündchen) elegantly voguing infront of the camera. For once they were focussing on here best assetts...her stunning gorgeous eyes. I'm not sure I fully understand this first picture, nevertheless I find it pretty stunning.



On a level though, I think this first picture is pretty interesting. It looks as though it could be used for a political civil rights campaign (the black masculine hands grasping the stunning femining face). Her expression displays pois, stature, elegance and position. However, as I progessed through more picutres, I found them becoming a bit more raunchy and borderline inappropriate. Here are the less raunchy ones.




by Norwegian photographer Solve Sundsbo
I think that this, is fashion photography and modelling, to a next level. It actually makes me wonder who actually directed the shots...well, I'm guessing it was Solve. I would love to enter the mind of Solve and understand the concept and aims of these pictures, and the direction he was heading in.
Anyway...I can't help but appreciate all the elements of this shoot, like the choice of mail models; Body building black men (I hate the terms, Black, or coloured but oh well...what could I say...dark brown :S). The images potray all the elements of contrast. Harsh contrasting light creating shadows over their genitals; whereas on most pictures, there is hardly any contrast on Gisele at all. Also the contrast between clothing; the men are fully naked and Gisele wearing swimwear. Also the contrast in skin tones; Gisele being caucasian and the male models being black. The contrast in body types; Gisele being slim, slender, sexy, voluptuous, sensual....(sorry...I'll digress), and the males models being body builders. You could also compare the model poses; the male models being very simple, Gisele being pretty dramatic.
All round great photo's. I would definitely hang these bad boys in my [future] house.
Well done Solve and Gisele. I'm so proud of my wife :)

Some more by Loren Kulesus

You all remember the skateboard right? Well if you search Loren Kulesus, you will be able to find it.
I saw this and thought some of you might be interested in it. I would love to see someone play this on stage. Nice design but I'll be suprised if it sounds any good or even if it's actually playable....

Melanie Fiona - "Kanye West's Heartless" Cover

I only recently heard this artist. I heard her song with Talib Kweli and thought she was pretty guuurd. But then I saw this video on the KanyeUniverseCity.com Blog. I reluctantly clicked on it but totally don't regret it. She covers this song so beautifully and completely owns it....anyhooo...less reading...more listening...here it is.....

Chanel Fiole....no it's not a perfume actually

Chanel are designing cars???? WHAT????

"Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept. As with classic Coco Chanel work, the design of the car was centered on simplicity of design.">







'God in Me' by Mary Mary

I was so good to see Fonzworth Bentley and Kanye West in this video.

The SchwimmHausBoot: Nice House...Rubbish Location.

I think SchwimmHausBoot stands for "Floating Boat House", which is pretty much what it is. The choice of location is interesting aye?.
I think architecture is something I should get into because, when looking at this house and the concept, designs from a similar concept spring into mind. It reminds me of the phrase "diamond in the rough", you know, nice house found in a crappy location. This seems like an early preparation for Global Warming (rememeber my last post about Global Warming?).
Nice idea. I give the design a 6/10. I think that contemporary design is fairly contrasting to it's location but it could be made more contrasting by using brighter colours. I do like the grass roof though.

The Wisdom Tree Bookshelf

I'm not a reader but nevertheless I would love this in my house. I think that, with this in my house, it would inspire me to buy books so that I'd be putting the shelf to good use, which would hopefully inspire me to read...hmm...not sure that's the right priority order but oh well.

Jordi:
"The WisdomTree is for people who
see books as a source of knowledge and emotions
and not simply as decorative objects.
Its fluid and organic shape is inspired
by growth of a plant.
The books that represent the fruit of knowledge
are supported by pieces covered in leather"

Alexander McQueen

I'm really into my fashion and I'll be posting more fashion related topics in the future. I was quite intrigued when I stumbled across this by Alexander McQueen. I love this guy. Some of his clothes are a bit rubbish (not my cup of tea) but most of them I love. You'll defo hear me talk about him in the future. In the meantime, check out this what I found recently




"Earth Day is over, but loving the planet is not - and Alexander McQueen is on the case. The iconic designer just paired with the HOME project to support their film, created to raise environmental awareness and inspire people to explore the outdoors.

His commitment to the project? One of his famous skull scarves, with a twist: this one features a single skull, cleverly morphed from an image of the Earth.

You can buy the scarves this June in McQueen boutiques and online, with profits going to the nonprofit organization Good Planet. Alas, they will not be available at Target, too."

Glowing Furniture

I saw this and found it pretty cool and see myself getting these at some point in the future....seriously though...what's cooler than Glow-in-the-dark furniture. Another thing I like about this creation is how it's also created from recycled materials.
I'm not sure who made these, I just know that they're inflatable, glowing-in-the-dark furniture made from recycled materials.



Kanye West - Amazing

This video really is amazing. I love the switch between standard view, and wide screen (I cant remember the technical terms). I love the saturated look about this video. To be honest, I don't hate Young Jeezy but I do in this song; I don't think his verse really fit. I quite like this song. I'm pretty disgusted that the woman's face isn't shown, pretty much, only her breasts are. Once again I find it degrading, only putting her identity in her breasts.
Nevertheless...good song. Well done once again Yeezy
