No this is not a Back to the Future project starring Marty McFly and Doc Brown. It is a photography project by Irina Werning who is a professional photographer from Buenos Aires. She explains on her site that she is totally obsessed with old photographs, so when she would visit other people’s houses she would immediately be drawn to the old photographs hanging on the wall. When looking at the pictures she would think what that person would look like in the same pose, same outfit, and same scene. Well she actually started doing it and it is pretty amazing and awesome. She admits the is a little obsessive on the detail, but that is what makes these photographs so great. For more of her work and more on this project you can check out her website found here.

Banksy has recently popped up in Hollywood as of late, my guess is because of the Oscars being held on Feb. 27th, in which he is nominated for best documentary for “Exit through the Gift Shop”. I am actually really excited about the Oscars just because of Banksy. The problem the academy is having is they don’t know who he is at all, so they don’t know how to invite him, or not to have him kicked out when he tries to get to his seat, as well as they don’t know who is going to come up and accept the award if he wins. People across the board say he is a shoe in to win the award, but because of the mystery I wonder if he will get shafted to avoid problems, we shall see. (P.S. I am back from Miami so posting will be back to normal HOLLA.)

I love music, so when I am watching a movie or a show on television and a fake band takes the stage I am at full attention. If there’s one thing we like better than a good band, it’s a really funny fake band. From metal to rap to folk, we’ve seen them all. After finishing this list I understand there were a ton of awesome bands I left out, so I might have to drop a part 2.

10. Wyld Stallyns – Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

If we were to stage a battle of the fake bands, Wyld Stallyns would surely emerge most triumphant! What other fake band can claim to have traveled through history and time, hanging with the likes of Socrates, Joan of Arc and Sigmund Freud? They also managed to snag a few historially signifigant babes through their journeys. What Wyld Stallyns lacked in musical talent they surely made up for in “excellence.”

9. Crucifictorious – Friday Night Lights

One town. One man. With one dream – to take these three words – “Christian speed metal” and form the most fearsome yet Christ-like rock outfit Dillon, Texas has ever seen. With the creation of Crucifictorious, Landry Clarke, once seen as a brainiac outcast and wedgie bait evolved into a heavy metal maestro with a godly axe to grind. The addition of super-cute bassist and lesbian, Devin, upped the talent factor while adding an interesting layer of complexity to Crucifictorious’ christian identity. Luckily, we have at least two more seasons of FNL to follow the band’s progess. Hopefully, future gigs will draw a bigger audience than one Tim Riggins.

Johnny McEntee has not exactly taken the college football world by storm — the red-shirt junior quarterback at Connecticut has yet to attempt a pass in a game. But the Servite product’s trick shots video is becoming an Internet sensation, and since I’ve partied and been black out drunk at UConn before I have to show some love. The best is at the end when he goes to the basketball gym, but really the whole video is amazing.

Scumbag Steve has been the popular new meme as of late. It all stemmed from the picture above of the typical douche bag kid that would roll up to one of your parties, and then internet jumped on it quickly. Supposedly the kid’s real name is Blake Boston, of course it would be haha.

Much more of the legend Scumbag Steve below.

Here’s a pretty awesome video that I think everyone can relate to and when I say everyone, I mean everyone who’s ever hidden their true emotions behind the safe confines of a keyboard and the backspace bar. Hopefully in the future, which I predict will be based on efficiency and convience, playing it cool will be a thing of the distant past, along with interpersonal human interaction. The music is Las Dos Hermanitas by Francisco Tárrega

You don’t have to be a Yankee fan, or a baseball fan at all to appreciate how awesome Mickey Mantle was. Here is a letter that was sent to Mickey asking him to tell a story about the most outstanding event he had at Yankee Stadium to celebrate the rebuilding of a new home for the Yanks. His hilarious response can be seen below, Mantle ruled.

There’s a 37-year-old artist in China who can paint himself into anything. Liu Bolin has been disguising himself to blend in urban or nature backdrops, creating the illusion of a human chameleon or a ghost. He spends about 10 hours being painted for each work so he perfectly matches the background. Bolin stands in front of backdrops with a team of two assistants to paint the camouflage on.

“Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself” If this oil painting doesn’t make you smile then you can go shove it you Debbie Downer.
