I'm not sure I'm ever going to have the time to consume all of this content I bought last night, but I got a wee bit inspired to finally get all of the little books, DVDs and magazines I've been wanting. I think anyone can kinda see my interests and passions based on this list.

Britney couldn't do a Castro concert in SF, so she did an indoor concert and filmed a video montage.
Pretty nice stuff. :)
70's Disco Dance Party Part II by DJ Lennie III
I absolutely <3 this mix. It's got some real 70's disco gems that most people don't know about. I smiled throughout the whole thing.
Simple pleasures.
Still love this song. Can't wait to see her in April in concert in SF! :D
Nice new jam from an artist I'm not familiar with. He actually supported some of my favorite acts during their worldwide tours in the past couple of years. He supported JLS during 2010 and N-Dubz during 2009.
With one film left to go, I can say that my favorite film I saw this year was "Resident Aliens." It was a film I could connect to, even If I've never been through a similar experience. The stories of the main characters were very interesting. It really makes you reflect upon your own life and wonder are you living up to your potential.
ABOUT THE FILM:
n 2002, the United States began deporting former Cambodian refugees with criminal offenses, even those who had arrived as children or infants following the Cambodian genocide. RESIDENT ALIEN follows three such “returnees” as they adapt to an unfamiliar homeland after nearly a lifetime spent in the States; largely shunned by Cambodian society, with few skills and little money, they now must find a way to survive, or end up on the streets.
China vacillates between accepting that she’ll spend the rest of her life in Cambodia and shock that she’ll never again set foot in the United States. Her boyfriend Looney admits that he’s unhappy in their relationship, but is also completely dependent on her financially. The heart of the film, however, is KK, a breakdancer from Long Beach who struggles to show his family back home that he has changed for the better. Forced to leave his own young son in the States, he becomes a teacher and surrogate father to a breakdancing troupe of poor children in Cambodia (the Tiny Toones), with hope that it will save them from a life of poverty, and ultimately help him find his own path to redemption.

After being a recruiter for a year, I've run into a few instances of a lack of tact when turning down a job offer.
Here's some advice from the Harvard Business Review. Take it!

I die. I die a hardcore death... to the Guile theme.
I'm happy to see the American Car industry have some success, even if it starts with clothing.
I just bought this song on iTunes this morning. Nice beat!
I've been out of advertising for over a year... but I'm still popular! :P
"Hello! This is a strange request. I'm looking for Will K., who has helped me in the past with my [YouTube] promoted videos. Please forward this email to him and ask him to reply. I have a tricky situation and would like to start with someone who's been helpful in the past. Thanks!"
Iyanla Vanzant appeared on Oprah earlier this week after not being on the show for over 11 years. I remember watching her as a young adult. She was awesome!
I never really knew about the falling out between her and Oprah. Watching this episode helped me reflect upon my own life. It was super helpful.

A video clip of the misunderstanding is also interesting.
This is kind of amazing. And Bryant Gumbel is totally douchey sounding here.
(1) I love how they try to read an email address.
(2) They reference the Northridge earthquake a lot.
(3) In 1994, the Internet was like Compuserve, AOL and Prodigy. Damn, those days of dialup were amazing.
(4) 1994 was the first year I was a power user of the internet. Before that I was a Commodore 64 kid and just geeked around a bit.
RIP YouTube Froyo toppings. Health initiatives have killed thee.
