I love Feist.

I know it’s not credible and everything but I really do like a good remix… even if it isn’t ‘better than the original’ or ‘detracts’ or whatever..

Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Thirty metres of fresh water float, stratified above another thirty metres of salt water due to their difference in density. Below this salt water lies a pool of hydrogen sulphide creating the illusion of a river underwater. Trees grow from the river bed.

i was ill recently and i lay on my bed and i just suddenly thought: if i died right now, i am so grateful for every single minute of my life, and am really glad to have been alive.

it’s weird because i used to think it would have been better not to have been born because it would be better to have nothing rather than ups and downs, but i don’t think that any more.

When the morning broke and the sky fell down
It went black as night and the wind blew round
And stole your directions, you lost your way home
And you felt like a passenger left by the road
But I’ll tell you the reason you couldn’t get home

Cause it’s nowhere you’ve been and it’s nowhere you’re going
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind
From the people you love and you travel beside.

I love this K-Swiss ad; the soundtrack, the light, the imagery, everything gives off the enjoyment of electricity of the world and associated this with the K-Swiss brand! Childish singing + passionate adults shows that youth doesn’t have to end. The Fed-Ex and sun safety ads are just super clever and both are very powerful messages.  The Fed-Ed ad would look PERFECT on a billboard by a brick wall.

The forest, which has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, is a popular place for suicides; in 2002, 78 bodies were found, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions.

Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees, and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet.

Creepy – but the forest itself looks beautiful.
