Live below the line is this fundraising campaign I'm doing aiming on achieving, in my opinion, the most important Millenium Development Goal which is eradicating extreme poverty and hunger.
I'll be eating under $2.25 to raise awareness that extreme poverty does exist and can be combated.
People across New Zealand are doing exactly the same as me to better understand the daily challenges faced by 1.4 billion people who live under $2.25 each day on food.
So in the next 5 days, I'll be living "below the line"
No food to munch on, no raiding the fridge or pantry, no midnight snacking. For every dollar you donate, The Glenn Family trust will match it. Dollar for dollar
Give generously
My menu for today
Breakfast - I had 2 小籠包 and a glass of water
Was snacking on peanuts throughout lunch (saving some for tomorrow too) Dinner was about half a bowl of rice. Most probably gonna have the same tomorrow
Now Gabe is trying to convince me to go Mexicali tomorrow night.
Sure bro! but I ain't gonna be eating anything

You can call me a dreamer
So after the party, I dropped Annaliesa and Joanne home, I went straight to bed and this random and wierd dream occurred. (it's wierd because it's so damn detailed) *insert dream sequence music*
It was dark and foggy and frikking cold and a similiar night to this. We're driving home from a house party (dunno whose) So Susanna Cho is driving my car (sober driver I guess), Matt Yee is riding shotgun, Timothy Delaghetto, Karina Siew and Ricky Shucks is sitting in the center and I'm sleeping on "mystery person"s lap [ps it's a dream ;)]
So we're driving east to drop Matt home but Susanna misses her exit at a Gossamer Drive roundabout. TWICE. Then I forgot some part of the dream and it ends up with me driving, mystery girl and Karina Siew (chatting) in the back seat and Timothy (who was singing with Byran Adam "Everything I Do" on the stereo) on the and Ricky (asleep) in the middle seat. I'm guessing Matt and Susanna got home in one piece.
The music dramatically changes to Kanye West "All Of The Lights" Timothy sings along while texting his mrs. I pull up on the side of the road to take a leak (it's the truth) and at the same time, Karina gets a text that she's got an assignment to hand in real soon but she's only part way through it. So while I was . . . you know . . going to the bathroom outside, Karina hops in the front seat and drives off with my car. Massive 'WTF' on my face. I break out into a sprint, chasing after MY CAR! She drives it for like 500 metres then stops. I catch up to it then she drives off again. I was freezing my ass off! I started running and the car stops suddenly. I smacked into the back of my car. Guess it hurt like a bitch. She keeps apologizes the whole time while I'm driving. More stuff gets blurred out and only the guys are left.
Ricky is awake and we all ended up cracking jokes the whole ride there.
Drop the homies at the airport and that's about the time I woke up.
One of the wierder dreams I've had in a while. Is my subconscience trying to tell me something? Is this dream interpretable? I'm gonna start writing this stuff down.
I'm off to bed now. What will I dream of next?

Watch The Throne
Been listening to a lot of Watch the throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West.
Gotta say, a lot of thought went into this album.
And from time to time, I like to rep the "All Black Everything"
One instance was Grad dinner in 2010.
My outfit was quoting Will Smith
"Black suit, the black shades, the black shoes
Black tie with the black attitude
New style, black Raybans, I'm stunnin', man"
Just highlighting some quotes that appealled to me
and the meaning behind them
The hook for Made In America highlights two influential men
(MLK and Malcolm X) and their wives along
Virgin Mary and Earthly father Joseph and how these components
help Kanye and Jay-Z reflect on how they "made it in America"
In Niggas In Paris
"I'm liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6"
Jay-Z names the famous Michaels
but is also paying respect to Biggie
Game 6 was also Michael Jordan's
6th NBA Champ title with Chicago Bulls
In Illest Motherf*cker Alive
"Unless you bad as Naomi Russell
I mean a lot of niggas got money
So basically, Russell ain’t the only Russell
Russell Brand, Russell Crowe
Zero Zero Zero Zero, a whole lot of 0’s"
Kanye does a shout out to Russell Crowe
since he came by their recording studio.
That's boys as!
In Who Gon Stop Me
"Black cards, black cars, black on black, black broads
Whole lotta money in a black bag
Black strap: you know what that's for"
All Black everything!!
I also love Beyonce's hook in Lift Off
Rap music as not always
about money and hoes

10 songs with the word "Riot" in it
"Let's start a riot" - Three Days Grace
This is clearly about the riots that has been happening over the past months namely the Montreal Riot, Electric Daisy Riot and the recent London Riot.
What do all these riots have in common?
They all have a stupid reason to start one.
Sure Mark Duggen got shot but does that give you the right to fuck shit up? So the government screwed you over. Is that any excuse to be looting that 42" LCD tv from a small business.
The main point, people are pissed off, makes some molotov cocktails, burn some shit, flip over a couple cars, nicking them Air Jordans you wanted for a long time. Then what?
BAM! Government increase tax to pay for damages
Then the cycle starts all over again.
The Electric Daisy Riot was a funny one. People was planking (yes. Literally planking. btw planking is stupid) between the rioting mob and the authorities.
Montreal Riot was by far the one that will hit close to home. We all know Canadians love their ice hockey and with The Rugby World Cup just over the horizon, NZ's love for rugby could take a turn for the worst.
We lose = Possible riot
We win = Possible riot
If you wanna start a riot, just make sure you're not a stupid person. That said, legit reason or not, why not do a protest? At least you won't get arrested. ps you'll get arrested if you're stupid.
Three Days Grace - Riot
Johnny Polygon - The Riot Song
Tedashii - Riot
Stars - Take Me To The Riot
The Sounds - Riot
Blood On The Dance Floor - Let's Start A Riot
The Gap Year Riot - 3 + 3
Ra Ra Riot - Dying Is Fine
Quiet Riot - Come On Feel The Noise
Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
Bonus! Paramore's 2nd album is also called Riot! (Kickass album art)
Most of Muse's songs of their album The Resistance are pretty badass songs to riot to
