Vice Knows Metal

Everything Vice puts out is incredible. I just finished watching Heavy Metal in Baghdad. I thoroughly enjoy documentaries but anything on metal is the shit. I think would have named it Iroq: Heavy Metal in Baghdad. Get it? Iraq. I-rock...Ahh, nevermind.

I definitely recommend watching this - you can definitely see the hopelessness in what was going at that time in Iraq (and currently still going on). Obviously the story is uplifting but I won't reveal to you what happens for you people that hate spoilers so here's a preview.



Not every story is so uplifting though. 4.7 million Iraqi's have left their homes of these, 2 million Iraqis are dispersed in Iraq.

Jersey Vs. Brooklyn

I know what you're thinking...what?!? Yes, it's true. I'm really saying the entire state of New Jersey is better than Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Why?

I've been watching VBS TV lately. It's really addictive. I really like documentaries and they do it fucking well. The shows are short segments, they are edited well and have really good music. And obviously, the topics are just too intriguing.

Now, back to Jersey vs. Williamsburg. I don't mean to rub it in but it's just coming out that way. Jersey is just a constant brunt of many jokes in the tri-state area. I don't really take offense because I know I'd rather live somewhere else anyway but I thought all of you who do live in Williamsburg and the surrounding areas really must catch the VBS series on Toxic Brooklyn. I'm sure you know of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Did you know that there was an even larger one in Brooklyn that seeped underground and they have yet to clean it all up? You will be baffled at the negligence of something so severe. Look up Newtown Creek
