i have a massive urge to drop out of school, delete my facebook and tumblr, throw my phone out the window and get on a train to somewhere random and just go on a KrAzY adventure
this is just the opening credits to the girl with the dragon tattoo but when i first saw it, i was like WOooOOooOoah i love this movie already. can’t stop watching.
Sunset on mars. Wooooah
Can I just stay in bed forever and watch ancient aliens all the time?
It’s a really obscure number you’ve probably never heard of it.
- the world: hey man we've got some really serious problems like global warming and mass economic failure and riots and genocide and aids and cancer and your healthcare system is shit so maybe we should get to work
- US government: sit down I have to stop people from sharing things online
i found out that i got a job no. 2 and that max is coming back this weekend! :D except, obviously i lost my hat.. can i not go a week without losing something!? my new years resolution was to stop losing stuff but that already failed the day after. I HAVE A PROBLEM.
I’ve been really sick this past week and I didn’t really eat much which caused my stomach to shrink. So today when I started feeling better and got my appetite back, I ATE ALL THE FOOD. But I think I ate too much too fast and it exploded my stomach or something. because now my diaphragm hurts when I breathe and i cant sleep because i might be dying. I just want to be normal and not in pain for once wahh
Inspired by another post here on Tumblr, I decided to look into the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong a bit more, it truly was one of the most amazing and terrifying places on earth. Being slightly smaller than an NFL stadium, the structure was built of 350 smaller interconnected buildings and hosted, at it’s peak, a population density of 5 million people per square mile.
To put those numbers in perspective, this would be like taking the entire population of metro Philadelphia, the 4th largest in the US, and putting it in 1 square mile instead of 1,744.
The area was also largely ungoverned and unregulated. Factories, apartments, schools, temples, churches, shops, cafes, hotels and almost anything else one could imagine were housed within the structure that never had a full blueprint of it done. Buildings were built onto buildings, expanded, rebuilt, and re-purposed as needed without a central authority of any kind.
Within the structure, natural light was almost non-existent, and an unknown number of miles of jury-rigged wires provided electricity to everything. Water constantly dripped down to the lower levels from both rain and leaking pipes, while garbage filled every passage. A constant yellow haze filled the structure and there were never any government safety inspections.
The Kowloon Walled City was demolished in the early 1990s as part of the deal that returned Hong Kong to the Chinese from the British. The entire area is now a park.
I find places like this fascinating, it is just incredible what we, humans, build and live in. This, hive, for lack of a better term, was one of the most interesting structures I’ve yet looked at.
For a documentary shot inside of the Kowloon Walled City, check here:
Me: Here are the photographs from the shoot yesterday
Client: Nice shots - I like this one from behind the man. Can you just flip the image so we can see his face and not the back of his head?
Me: You want me to turn him around in the photograph so you can see his face?
Client: Yes - and maybe we can make him black. Do you have Photoshop?
hahahahaha
