A thought on Toyota's woes and foes
Since I began watching Toyota’s woes unfold about a month ago, I couldn’t help but notice the evident parallels between Toyota and General Motors. As an avid follower of the industry, the recent string of bad news stemming from Japan’s automotive poster child didn’t necessarily surprise me. Toyota has been in a relentless pursuit of world-domination for quite some time now. Unlike GM, however,...
Dead and Immortal: Inventive in Late Night and No... →
Last night one of the most inventive programs of any Late Night television show aired, yet no one cares.
At least, it seems no one cares. I can’t find a damn thing on the internet about it. So, what exactly happened? Well, Craig Ferguson, the man that follows David Letterman (and probably most…
Well said Matt, i felt the same way. Honestly the most entertained I’ve been in awhile...
A (brief) thought on being away
I’m not sure why I felt the need to write this thought out but I did it anyways.
I would have to say that the hardest part of going away to college so far is the fact that I had to literally leave a part of my life, a part of me, behind. It’s hard enough not being able to see my family on a regular basis, but at least I know they’ll always be there when I come back. Friends, on the other hand,...

A thought on the unyielding pursuit to urbanize...
I recently read a posting on TIME.com that was part of their “Assignment Detroit: Blog.” The post detailed the recent upswing in activity surrounding regional development projects in Southeast MI.

It's Monday and I'm avoiding homework.
I had to take a stab at writing some “creative” non-fiction (the most ridiculous oxymoron) for my English class. I had to somehow relate it to the issue of truth and my own real life (thats where the creative part comes in I guess), being that what I wrote about actually never happened but instead its more or less how i would picture that situation to be. Theres a reason I want to be...

Lazy Journalists Love Pictures of Abandoned Stuff (via Vice Magazine)
This article really sums up my frustrations. AGAIN. All I have to say is that Detroit is not an aesthetic.
So true, the rest of the world is only ever interested in Detroit when its on fire. They come, they write, they take photos of ruin porn and plight in the street and they leave. Nothing ever changes.
