Wilds

One of the best things I have seen all week. Can you feel it? This is the definition of the verb to Wild in moving colour, captured in its most grand manner to an almost religious effect. Not your church or mine, but maybe Mt. Absalom Zion Sacred Love of the Slain Lamb Holy Methodist, that stone church that sits quietly six days a week next to Melrose High School in North Memphis Tennessee only to come alive with I SAIDA SAID CAN I GET AN AMEN. High school basketball in Memphis is church, Nate Rucker has found eternal life and Nino Johnson is seeking repentance for having to la la la la lick 'em. Memphis does stand for Making Easy Money Pimpin Hoes Is Serious too, bitch. 

Pick out a new person to watch every time you watch this.

Okay den. What's South Afrika know for? Apartheid, sharks, and now Zef side. Die Antwoord touched down a few weeks ago and somehow barnstormed the internet running on No Art, Fuck You ballot.

Can't expect to have an encounter like this at the beach, but no harm in wanting to. Close encounters with the other kind. Isn't it a bit terrifying how vulnerable humans are in the water? Can't hold our breath for very long, aren't too shapely designed for swimming (Hook 'em horns), and pretty hopeless in the face of something this big, or even dead if it has teeth. We're no longer the apex predators underwater. Makes you kinda take it for granted a little bit. It would be like if the dinosaurs still ruled the Earth. How different would Life be in America if survival was a daily priority? We would have to carry guns and look out for each other. Couldn't play sports outside. Since reptiles would be on top and not mammals, we probably would have evolved with claws or longer legs or something in order to escape predators. Avatar like, no doubt. Despite our being blue and zen, harmony between us and them would be almost impossible. We'd have to work hard to simply live. But like I've heard too many times, you can What If yourself to death. Dinosaurs being alive today are about as likely as horses growing large teeth and becoming land sharks. That would be just as terrifying.
