This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this architect’s name but I’m pretty familiar with his work and designs since I’ve seen some of his influence in other works on film and other architectural concepts. One thing we, as humans, have realized so late is the significance of taking care of our world that we call home — Earth. Soleri’s whole concept of “arcology” was meant to be environmentally sound by creating cities that “reflect both human aspirations as well as the shape and needs of the Earth’s environments.”

Would so get into this kind of magazine.

When the Sex Pistols were singing God Save the Queen in 1977, China still banned most forms of pop music, and Mao ruled supreme. Nearly 40 years later, punk is alive and kicking in Beijing

This is incredible. I was never aware of a punk scene in China. When I think of punk, I always think of Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, Black Flag, Bad Religion; mainly English and American bands. While punk has spread its influences and messages to other nations over the decades, never did I realize that a country, such as China, would make the perfect place for such a political-fueled genre of music. It makes sense for punk to ever stay relative in a nation that’s partly known for its past political turbulence. There has been a growing voice coming from the Beijing underground; and it’s loud and unafraid.

All smiles tonight.

So here’s something totally embarrassing that I’m willing to share with you all…

I thought Gi Soap was a specialized natural detergent for martial arts gi’s…. it’s just body soap.
