Absolutely awesome video created by Billy and Jordan for the Viddler Spotlight on Gary and WLTV.

Discovered via a super-secret e-mail sent late the night before the video was released. ;) Giving Gary’s Tumbla the credit though.

Free Double Pass to "Mao's Last Dancer" in NYC

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 03:48:00 +1000

I obtained a double pass to see the new film “Mao’s Last Dancer” in a downtown Manhattan cinema this evening (18th August, 2010) at 7pm.

I’m nowhere near NYC, so I can’t attend. Plus, I’ve already seen the film a couple times. (That said, I can’t wait to see it again.)

Note: If you want the double pass, then please tweet @djsteen on Twitter.

Now let me blab for a moment.

My Mom — Suzie Steen — plays a role in this new film by Bruce Beresford. If she hadn’t, then I may have never seen the film. If I saw the trailer and had to decide whether or not to see the film, then I probably wouldn’t have seen it. (You should never judge a book by its cover.)

However, now that I have seen the film, I’m doing everything in my power to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the movie.

It’s a true story about a Chinese boy (now man — Li Cunxin) who traveled to the USA in the 1970s to pursue dancing. Yes, there is dancing in the movie. That’s not a bad thing, but most “guys” probably wouldn’t be interested.) Screw “interested”! The story behind the hardships Li took to get to the USA makes you understand how other parts of the world work and it makes you appreciate your own life a lot more.

I was going to embed the trailer in here, but I think going in to the film without any expectations is better.

If you’d like a double pass to see Mao’s Last Dancer TONIGHT (18th August, 2010) at 7pm in a cinema on West 23rd Street in New York City, then please message @djsteen on Twitter.

I can’t give the exact location publicly because then lots of people would turn up and it’s invite-only.

After reading this article Neil’s brain told me to get a dingo, and pickup chicks with it.

“Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

- President BARACK OBAMA, making his first public comments regarding a mosque and community center being built near Ground Zero.

Writing Instrument of the Day: New from Sharpie, the Liquid Pencil is the prodigious spawn of too many wine coolers at the annual Pencil Fraternity / Pen Sorority mixer. Its liquid graphite “ink” allows the user to erase at will for up to three days, after which any written material becomes permanent. Suck it, Mike Nesmith’s mom!

The Sharpie Liquid Pencil hits stores in September, but you can purchase some right now for $5/pk via Office Depot.

I hate negativity but:

Hey you piece of poop. Come out and surrender all of your crap. Ripping off my darn good pal Johnny is effing terrible.

I hope you get clawed by some wild alley cats in the eye-sockets.

Luckily this turd sandwich hasn’t ripped off any work I’ve made for Johnny yet. - Otherwise he’d have a boomerang to the throat before he could say BENNY FRYING PAN.

Read about this con-artist who’s ripping of Johnny and spread the word.

Vote for Krochet Kids intl. to win $250,000 (via krochetkids)

Read me.
No seriously read me.
Please, for the love of everything that is not selfish, glue your eyes to this for half a second.
Skim if you want.
Move straight to the bottom of this post.
I dont care, just READ

My friend Kathleen just sent me a message talking about this group. She told me about these friends who started to crochet hats and went to Uganda to teach the women there how to do the same.

They are currently in the top 20 for this contest that could win their charity $250, 000.

It honestly takes two seconds to vote. I know I dont like it when people promote things like this because I usually am too freaking lazy to click the mouse a couple of times but this would be so exciting if they got more support.

All you have to do is wait till the end of the video and a link will pop up. Then you click it and allow Facebook access to something and you are done. I gave up on it the first time because I got lazy and didnt feel like doing it at the moment but then I realized how pathetic I am.

Think like Nike, just do it alright.

Please reblog this, put it on your facebook page, email it to people if people still email things (yes, I feel like I am one of the only remainders who do), aim it, dont snail mail it-that would be pointless…do (almost) whatever.

Just vote and then spread.
Vote and spread.
Vote and spread.

P.S. Although you could just fast forward to the end of the video to get the link, the video itself is actually quite hilarious
