Here it is, as you can tell I had nothing to do with the shoddy write-up - I have an A in plagirism, high school taught me well. (quick lie: Huqleberry had nothing to do with my love for Loomstate):

Loomstate first debuted in 2004, as a collection that featured eco-friendly clothing. Designer and co-owner of Loomstate, Rogan Gregory, has teamed up with Target to design a collection with them, bringing eco-friendly fashion to the masses. The Loomstate for Target line will offer men’s and women’s apparel, priced between $14.99 and $44.99. The collection uses environmentally sensitive materials such as 100 percent certified organic cotton and sustainable fibers including linen and silk. The line will debut on target.com and select Target stores on April 19 and will be available through May 16. The launch is timed to coincide with Earth Day on April 22.

I always thought slapping a photo on t-shirt was kinda of chintzy, and I still do. But I'll let Royal Revelation slide on this. Not because they didn't take this photo and it's a super easy way to add another 'piece' to the collection, but because the photo and the tough times we're in go hand-in-hand. Except schooling is becoming more and more of a non-necessity as well. The only thing I successfully did this semester was drop a class, and I just barely made the deadline. It feels good. Feels real good. Click the tee to see more from the RR camp.

hug the wheel when i feel the low

the pedal don't know i'm feeling slow

my melting image in the window gives me away, yeah it gives me away

salty roads i travel

salty roads know me too well

salty roads my soul unravel

salty roads no one can tell

blame my lonliness on the world

but it wasn't there for me to begin with

shame myself like i have control

but i didn't co-sign my birth

In the heyday of the guillotine during the French Revolution, it is said that many of the condemned were asked to blink for as long as possible after decapitation. While many reportedly did not blink at all, some complied for as long as thirty seconds. Still other observations describe much more specific reactions to stimuli following beheading. Consider the case of Languille, a convicted murderer who was guillotined in France. He was observed by Dr. Beaurieux during his execution at 5:30am on June 28th, 1905. As written in Archives d'Anthropologie Criminelle, here are the doctor's observations:

Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds ... I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased.

The face relaxed, the lids half closed on the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day in the exercise of our profession, or as in those just dead.

It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: 'Languille!' I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions ... Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves ... After several seconds, the eyelids closed again, slowly and evenly, and the head took on the same appearance as it had had before I called out.

Lucid Decapitation

My face is crusty in more than one place. I have a bad taste in my mouth in every meaning.

But what I really want to know is...who watches Bassmasters aka freshwater fishing every Saturday morning? Because it's been on ESPN for as long as I remember with the same old skilled hicks or 'pro fisherman' pulling up a bass while making some sort of grunt when they 'snag' it - they never miss - then making some sort of comment like 'Ah, another spotted bass, must be why I don't see any herring. She's a good one'. Veteran Kenyon Hill is currently in in first at 64 lbs 13oz. I think it's only day three of the tournament but I just made that up to add a little mustard.

I'll be watching NCAAF all day today and listening to the rain tap on my roof, maybe I'll even let it in or I'll go outside and make small talk.

Also interesting, I'm going to have to start taking some steamy photos because I'm going to Boston to do a bit of...eh...Andy Arz type stuff (not that stuff) for Karmaloop. The camera is the girl you love, that little extra widening of the eyes and tweak of the lips does wonders.

See me on the streetwear catwalk rocking the wackest brands in the industry. Face all over the internet. I also have to really cut my hair now. Guess she's getting a call.
