Check out this great music video of a box’s struggle to get a girlfriend. The story is really funny and the tune is actually pretty catchy. I dug it.

What happens when a man born without any legs goes out into public? People stare. It may be rude, but of course, it happens. Kevin Connolly has visited 15 different countries, 31 cities, and has take more than 32,000 photos of the stare that he gets when he is in public. Check out his website to learn more about him and to view the great pictures he has taken.

Videos are obviously one of the funnest things to do on the internet. The problem is though, that sometimes it can take a long time to find a really good one, and before you know, you haven’t gotten any work done. That’s why Goggleburn was created. Here, you’ll find all of the hits, trends, and rising stars of the online video world and you don’t have to navigate more than 10 sites just to find one funny “short.” There’s even an RSS feed if you want to add it to your favorite feed reader.

If you like odd, awkward and just sort of atypical all together photographs, take a good look at Julie Blackmon’s work. Maggie Taylor-esque with a modern day twist, Julie takes the context out of Jan Steen household and slaps a photograph right on it.

Growing up in a family of nine and now a mother of three of her own, she really illustrates the chaotic and tiring role of a mother past and present. Julie photographed children crying, laughing, jumping, swimming and giving the meanest of mean faces. Both bodies of work evokes the artistic spirits from Maggie Taylor and Anne Geddes, while still carrying a very unique and interesting look of their own. Enjoy!

I came across this video on YouTube and just had to share it. The band is Bat for Lashes and the song is titled “What’s a Girl to Do?.” It was a whole lot of fun to watch and listen to.
