The Roots “The Fire” feat John Legend

Good looking to Kenji for finding this (before I did).

Taken from Kenji’s blog

The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor…and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. – Rik

About the 2.0 shot, this is @ouxu ‘s interpretation.

I got a record player for my birthday from the Wondaland fam. It is portable and sexy. My first three pieces of vinyl? The Miseducation, The Archandroid, and How I Got Over.

This album sounds INCREDIBLE on vinyl by the way. Looking forward to this full video.

What do you do when s/he says “I love you”

A dear friend of mine is working on a project and she asked me for my opinion on the matter. While I am no expert and no counselor, I did have some reactive thoughts. My response below:

The truth of the matter is there is no right answer because there is no predictable situation. You must be honest in your words and actions. You must be as selfish as your heart requires and as giving as your heart allows…If you need a moment to think about your answer, you can start with this assessment:

‘To lie to you and say that I love you when I don’t, robs the truth of it’s power and its audience when and if I ever do truly love you.’

Here is the dear friend’s video post on the matter.
