Today, I wore my dapper blue suit. —in a weird post-newyears funk which featured long lines in sub-zero temperatures, to get into sterile unhappy facilities who provided no answers. End of the day, we might all be plethora of curmudgeons, but i am still the fucker wearing my dapper blue suit!

A Muslim Wedding at Occupy Wall Street
Two lovebirds who met protesting Wall Street in Zuccotti Park tied the knot Sunday morning at a humble ceremony in a small corner of the ongoing demonstration.
In front of about a dozen friends and onlookers, Emery Abdel-Latif, 24, and Micha Balon, 19, held a traditional Muslim wedding on Trinity Place and Liberty Street, perched on a small bench next to the park’s famous sculpture of a seated man with a briefcase.
“We have to be able to understand truly how unique this relationship is,” said Khalid Latif, the chaplain at New York University who married the eager duo.
“You have been given a deep blessing today,” he said.
The two activists met in September when they were trying to find a space in the crowded park to pray. They immediately hit it off.
A month later, they both knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together - without delay.

OCCUPY The Highway: March from OWS to DCLast week, a courageous group left the Occupy Wall Street camp in New York City and started marching to Washington, DC. Their goal was to bring the outrage and energy of the 99% directly to Capitol Hill.They’re marching to call out the congressional Super Committee, which could cut a deal before Wednesday slashing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect tax breaks for the 1%.The marchers’ stories are powerful, and Congress needs to hear them before they slash programs that so many people rely on.
Hope Has A Posse of the Day: Street artist Shepard Fairey remixes his iconic Obama “Hope” poster with the Anonymous-associated Guy Fawkes mask in support of the Occupy movement.
He writes on his blog:
Change is not about one election, one rally, one leader, it is about a constant dedication to progress and a constant push in the right direction. Let’s be the people doing the right thing as outsiders and simultaneously push the insiders to do the right thing for the people.

Focus on the red dot and the blue circle will disappear.
It’s a good illustration of the benefits of proper focus. Surroundings become eliminated with focus.
