			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There comes those moments in life when I could take a baseball bat and destroy every item I own. I can visually see myself smashing my toy case or pushing over the bakers rack and feeling some sense of relief. But than logic kicks in and says &#8216;asshole, if you do that you&#8217;re only fucking yourself&#8217; and than I roll something.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="china venting room by Tough Love NYC, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/toughlovenyc/4878196802/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4878196802_dc1eb0e587.jpg" alt="china venting room" width="500" height="358" /></a></p>
<p>Now if only we were in China where <span>a</span><span> shopping mall in Shenyang has opened a  special store for women to break all kinds of normal household things &#8211;  smashing them to smithereens with baseball bats. </span></p>
<p><span>Mall business manager Wang Jingyu told  the People&#8217;s Daily that the aim is for &#8216;women to come here to feel like  they are in their own homes but without any limitations. They can break  anything here.&#8217;</span></p>
<p><span>The rooms </span><span>are set up so it feels like your bedroom or living room. </span></p>
<p>Sorry, no men <span>allowed. </span></p>
<p><span>Bring it to NYC ple</span><span>ase, you know we need it the most.<br />

<p>I was surfing the internet and found myself locked into a website that showcases artists. I ran into this one artist Jessica Hess. Now of course the thumbnail picture that caught my eye was of graffiti. I scrolled through the pictures quickly and I&#8217;m thinking to myself  &#8216;What does this girl write??&#8217;. So I scroll back up to read the summary. Jessica takes pictures of graffiti and street art and paints them. amongst other things.</p>
<p>To the T.</p>
<p>I mean she painted pieces, throwies, tags, stencils and wheat pastes with a paint brush.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received a text the other day with this picture. (2esae you&#8217;re the best! you always look out!!). The JHeart is faintly rocking under the rat. I&#8217;m really wondering if this photo is in some kind of photobucket thing or maybe they search flickr for new york photos? Because what are the odds that the same heart is rocking on 2 different shirts? Back in 2005 DKNY printed the JHeart on one of there shirts. Odd.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2-4 fuckin years according to alameda county california. where is the justice in this? an officer of the law shoots someone whos handcuffed and its involuntary manslaughter? its a travesty is what it is. its also murder and execution. as expected, there were protests after the verdict was given. they started off peaceful and after dark the real protesting started. although im not sure what looting foot locker has to do with civil disobedience&#8230; but whatever works, i guess.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>late last night when i was walking into TGIF&#8217;s on austin street, i focused in on a chick that was leaving wearing a <a href="http://toughlovenyc.bigcartel.com/product/grimey-glamour" target="_blank">Grimey Glamour</a> shirt.  (hi nicole!) &#8211; i was like fuck yeaaaaaaaahh! toughlove<3 at first she kinda looked at me the like uh, what? so i pointed at her shirt&#8230; i was trying not to sound like a total weirdo, going up to a random girl and telling her what brand of shirt she was wearing, i introduced myself as the webmaster around hurr&#8230;  <img src='http://www.toughlovenyc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   i think that helped, lol.</p>
<p>so&#8230; i totally live in a box and i go to the same places all the time and never pay attention to my surroundings when i&#8217;m out (always in la la land), so this was rather exciting for me <img src='http://www.toughlovenyc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />   &#8230;it&#8217;s cool to see girls out there wearing my girl&#8217;s brand. makes me happy&#8230;  i remember five years ago when we were just in talks about all of this.  reality strikes! love it.</p>
<p>figured i&#8217;d share my little tough love moment<3</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i dont mean for that to sound like im tryna clown him, or be condescending. people from all different walks of life have held senate seats. arnold schwarzenegger (sucky actor), al franken (comedian), jesse ventura (pro wrestler), sonny bono (musician), et cetera all had &#8220;first jobs&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/11h8ocm.jpg"></p>
<p>what im sayin is, the angry black man from the original real world cast has blossomed into a wonderfully intellectual human being with honest concern for his community, and everyone who lives in it. covering a mass of land that would include williamsburg, clinton hill, bed stuy, east ny, canarsie, and flatlands, mr powell is attemptin to undertake a huge responsibilty indeed. native (true) new yorkers who dont have their head up their ass know these neighborhoods to be plagued by issues such as violence, domestic violence, extreme poverty, child abuse, police brutality, racial profiling, ignorance, predatory lending, discrimination, desperation, and overall helplessness. many people born in raised in the hood dont know how the fuck to make things better and if they have an idea, they may not know where to start.</p>
<p>when i began googling kevin powell for congress, i learned that he had two failed attempts at running for this seat. lets hope there isnt a third. </p>
<p>if you live in these communities, REGISTER TO VOTE, and then do so. dont be a dillweed and sit idle like some of the moronic celebrities who participated in puff daddys &#8216;vote or die&#8217; campaign did. you have the right to a single vote. use it.</p>
<p>click here to read his <a href="http://www.kevinpowell.net/platform.php" target="blank">platform</a> (what he intends to do while in office)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>the mta is against everything unless they are capitalizing off of it. graffiti writers have been fined out the ass for catchin motions on trains and doin top to bottoms. the mta claims its expensive to clean the graffiti off and so the courts force people who are more than likely already below the poverty line to pay a fine to a multi million dollar corporation. </p>
<p>for any smart ass who thinks im unaware of the fact that the mta has no shareholders or owners, go fuck yourself. someones still makin $ off straphangers no matter what their title is. </p>
<p>at any rate, the mta is now going to advertise on the train. on the outside of the actual fucking train. they got rid of the red birds for big ass target posters? die.</p>
<p><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/2h6zjpt.jpgf"></p>
<p><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/z2x3p.jpg"></p>
<p>also, i love how they bragged that it took days for the project to be completed. any one who knows how to use youtube can see graffiti writers doin entire clean trains in a matter of hours.</p>
