"The things that inspire me to create, I find, are buried deep within the structures and systems that form the underpinning of our natural world. My studies in the natural sciences have made me aware of these hidden layers of complexity present in even the simplest objects. These invisible layers are seen most clearly through the lens of logic, which is used to decipher the underlying rules and laws that govern the physical world"- Christian Faur

How do you think?

This video is a great metaphor of how some people see the world!

Andy Warhol:qUOTE OF THE WEEK!

"It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see"-Andy Warhol

Ye's New Chick!

This is Kanye's muse Amber Rose. Amber Rose is a model, and one of Rihanna's close friends. Word has it she's the one that talked Rihanna into cutting her hair. In my opinion she compliments Ye' pretty well.

Honestly this video is visually impeccable.I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people that can't comprehend the dimension that Kanye's in with this one. He's pushing boundaries;that's what makes 808's so great.Any true Artist can appreciate the beauty in his work!This is one of my favorite songs on the album because I always wonder about the things I'll have to sacrifice to become successful. P.s. The Director is a GENIUS!

"Heel the streets to death"

Flick Sunday!

Today, i got the chance to watch two really amazing movies. One was "Factory girl" and the was "Coraline".
The movie "Factory girl" is Based on the rise and fall of socialite Edie Sedgwick, concentrating on her relationships with Andy Warhol. I read about Edie Sedgwick, not to long ago.Her story really sends a message, of what the negative side of "Fame" can bring to you. She was a pretty huge influence on fashion in the 60's. Her story is truly inspiring none the less. There are so many times individuals search or crave to be famous. But the truth is not everyone can't handle being famous. So the question "Is to have had and lost Better than not having at all?"

The Following movie "Coraline" was utterly amazing.However Jazzy and I went through hell just to view it. Last night, we went to the theatre and it was sold out. So today we went back, and guess what? Yep it was sold out again lmao. So we just caught a later flick. After all of that, i can sit here and say..."It was worth it...it was all worth it". The visuals on this film are just breathe taking. The message behind the movie, is Appreciate what you have because what you want may come at a high price! I give this movie 10/10 . P.s. Jazzy those 3d glasses aren't fashion forward=p lolz!

Kanye in L.A. for Vh1's storytelling!

The show premiers February 28 at 9pm on VH1.

Hell on Earth...

I swear, the past few days i've been going through hell;waiting for Drake's Mixtape to drop.Last night, refreshed O.V.O so many times i felt like i was losing my mind.So then today i wake up hella late, and tried to download it...but my laptop is rejecting it.So i have one more option left. But i will be nodding my head to this ish before i go out for All-Star weekend=]

Moment of Silence...


Doctors have succeeded in ridding a man of the HIV virus by giving him a bone marrow transplant in what they claim is the closest treatment yet to a cure for the disease.

The remarkable case gives new impetus to the development of gene therapy for HIV which could ultimately replace the need for expensive and toxic antiretroviral drugs. Instead of taking drugs for life, HIV sufferers might instead have a one-off treatment that would leave them virus-free.

The 42-year-old American had been infected with HIV for a decade. He was treated with antiretroviral drugs in Berlin, where he lives, for four years to hold the disease in check, but then developed leukaemia. Since being given a bone marrow transplant two years ago, he has not taken antiretroviral drugs to control HIV and has had no resurgence of either disease. He is believed to be the longest HIV-free survivor who was previously treated with antiretroviral drugs. Full details of the case are published for the first time today in The New England Journal of Medicine. An editorial in the journal says it "places further emphasis on gene therapies" for HIV, adding: "The case paves the way for innovative approaches that provide long-lasting viral control with limited toxicities for persons with HIV infection."

The man's treatment began with a search by doctors at Berlin's Charité Hospital for a bone marrow donor with a genetic resistance to HIV. One of the strangest features of the disease is the way some people who have been exposed to the virus on many occasions remain uninfected. Twenty years ago, it was noticed that certain prostitutes in Nairobi remained uninfected despite exposure to the virus through thousands of sexual contacts.

It has since emerged that some people carry a mutation of a gene (CCR5) that confers protection against HIV. In Western populations an estimated one to three per cent have the mutation.

Dr Gero Hutter, a haematologist at the Berlin Charité Hospital, and colleagues tested 61 potential donors before they found one with the CCR5 genetic mutation, who agreed to the operation.

The American recipient of the transplant, who runs a holiday rentals business in the German capital, has undergone regular checks in the two years since the treatment. The doctors have tested his bone marrow, blood and tissues and found no sign of HIV. "For as long as the viral load remains undetectable, this patient will not require antiretroviral therapy," they say in the journal.

Speaking to The Independent yesterday, Dr Hutter said there had been several previous reports of patients being virus-free following treatment but none to compare with the latest case. "The difference is that in our patient we had a plan. It was not an accident," he added. "It is the longest time someone who has had antiretroviral therapy and stopped has lasted without the virus rebounding. Normally it rebounds within weeks. It is the closest we have come to a cure."

Dr Hutter said a bone marrow transplant would be too risky as a routine treatment for HIV and too difficult to find donors with the right genetic make-up. But a modification of the approach using gene therapy to render a patient HIV-resistant could work, he said.

Even a costly treatment could be worthwhile. The price of treatment with antiretrovirals in Europe is €70,000 to €80,000 (£63,000 to £72,000) a year compared with a one-off cost of €20,000 to €30,000 for a bone marrow transplant.

Dr Hutter said: "When I started in medicine, HIV was completely untreatable. Now the situation has changed completely. Perhaps our case is a glimpse of hope for the future."

Professor Jay Levy, an Aids specialist at the University of California, and author of the US journal's editorial, said claims that the patient had been cured of HIV would be premature because of the virus's capacity to hide in other parts of the body including the brain, gut, liver and lymphatic system, from which it could always re-emerge.

"Nevertheless, the results... provide further encouragement for those examining approaches to treatment that reduce CCR5 expression in persons with HIV infection," he writes.In 2007, an estimated two million people died from Aids and 2.7 million were newly infected with HIV.

25 years of research: The HIV virus

When the discovery of HIV was announced in 1984, US politicians predicted that a cure for Aids would be found within five years, but it is still a distant prospect.

Over the past 10 years, a cocktail of aggressive antiretroviral drugs has been developed to help keep the effects of the disease at bay. Eliminating it has proved far more difficult because of the virus's unique nature.

HIV integrates itself into an infected person's DNA and attacks the cells the immune system sends to attack it. Once infected, these T-cells take the virus deeper into the body. Gene therapy is a new approach that harnesses the natural resistance to HIV shared by 3 per cent of people.

Experts hope that by tweaking a sufferer's DNA, they can achieve "long-lasting viral control".

It's about time they came clean about "The Cure". "Change is gonna come like Barock said"!

Go do your research!

So today, unexpectedly, I ended up at boarders; which was a breathe of fresh air like always. While I was there, I did a little fashion research. I love European Fashion Mags because for one, they always have the most intricate pieces. For two, there very informative when there in english. Last, there's just a certain vibe I get when I open one...It's like i'm Marty Mcfly, taking a trip to the future!
