What I would put in a time capsule?

Assuming I'm dead, and no longer need my things and am making the time capsule strictly for my mini me's, the things I would put in a time capsule would be:

My band tees, and my cds. <333

My comics...just Batman though. The rest aren't as important. Need space for better things.

and that's all I can think of...

Thank you to...

...i-tunes for alphabetizing my music.









...Coke for being delicious.








...Dairy Queen for having 59 cent burgers on Saturdays.







...Samsung for making shitty phones that I get to own.










...Google for telling me cucumbers were green because they're leprechauns.

'Exit Through The Gift Shop'

      1) I think the movie was pretty genuine, why would Banksy make a 'mockumentary'? That would probably be a huge waste of time for somebody who has better things to do...like make art. Besides, it didn't really mock anybody, it was a documentary because it was a movie made about an event that actually happened.


      2) I believe graffiti is a street artist trying to get something they believe strongly in out to the public. They were effective because if they weren't, cops wouldn't be so against it.


      3) I'm not really sure what Mr. Brain Wash was trying to present with his graffiti. He was in it for the money, and a sell out, therefore his art really had no meaning whatsoever, his goal was simply to get rich. But, he was effective, he had a huge effect on the community...but he's a sell out, so does he matter?


      4) The big difference between street artists' work and Mr. Brain Wash's work is that Mr. Brain Wash didn't have a point in doing it, rather than money. Street artists have a meaning behind what they do; a point they want to make public. Even if street artists do it and then make money, they do it for that art, or they wouldn't start without expecting any payment in return. Mr. Brain Wash expected payment and fame.


      5) Lot's of people showed up at the art show because of Mr. Brain Wash was good at marketing. He put ads in magazines and so it quickly spread throughout Los Angeles as 'the greatest art show ever'.


      6) I believe graffiti is art, not vandalism because vandalism is the destruction of one's property that is not your own, street art ads something new to the property. It adds creativity to once lame property. Breaking something would be vandalism, painting something is art. If someone just painted my wall, I wouldn't care, if they chose a nice colour, at least. If they just threw paint at it in an attempt to vandalize and destroy it, I wouldn't be too happy. But if they made it look better by adding art, I would probably be pretty content. It mostly depends on the persons intentions. Guerilla marketing and graffiti can be similar because guerilla marketing can be just a picture painted on a wall, so long as it has meaning and is attempting to promote something. They didn't sell out, because they were still in it for the art, they achieved success. Only if they had changed everything to make more money, would they be sell outs.



Christmas sweaters!



You should buy this Christmas sweater because it's warm, cheap and comfortable. This guy is happy because in his Christmas sweater he can't feel the blizzarding cold of that snow and because he looks super attractive in it. He feels more confident when he looks in the mirror in the morning and knows he is ready to go out and fight the cold.
