do you need a reason to cheer for #VFL peyton manning in the super bowl?
this article contains about a million:
I never completely comprehended the limitations his cervical spine injury and the legacy of four surgeries imposed on him. Prior to surgery, the neurologic damage to his throwing arm led him to be unable to throw an eight yard pass. After the surgery, his pain was better, but his nerve damage persisted. His coaches and trainers were scared for him. According to Jenkins, his former offensive coordinator at Tennessee said,
“He was so out of whack, I had to ask him to quit throwing. He was on his way to hurting himself…He had to rebuild his mechanics from the ground up. He had to relearn everything.”
Manning and everyone around him couldn’t help but think that perhaps he would never recover. And to add insult to injury, in the midst of this physical and emotional crisis, the Indianapolis Colts cut him. The Super Bowl winner and living legend was released from the team he never wanted to leave. Peyton would graciously thank his owners, his team and his fans, he would move to Denver, and he would come back. Incredibly.

"I don’t even know how to talk about it — it was like a fever dream," Williams said. "And the way they edited it is so beautifully weird." She had yet to talk to Brickell about the video when we spoke, but she had warned Brickell's husband, Paul Simon, about it. "I met [him] right after I’d shot the video, and I told him, 'You’ve gotta tell your wife that this is coming, because she’s going to notice an uptick in ‘What I Am’ attention and I may have something to do with it.' I do it with love — just tell her that.” That same night "he came up to me and he was like, 'I told her,'” Williams continues. "I was like, 'What?' He was like, 'Yeah, I called her. She’s excited.'"

Scientists Create World's Most Perfect Workout Mix
London scientists teamed up with Spotify to create the perfect gym workout mix, basing their selections on what's popular and on the songs' BPM (beats per minute). They start out with a little Katy Perry to warm you up, Gaga to rev you up, and Lorde to cool you down. Since I've become a total gym rat (HAHAAHHAANOTREALLY) I've been in need of some motivational tunes. I will say the mix is a little light on Kelly Clarkson, The Killers, and Shakira, but maybe they're not super popular in 2014.
BONUS CONTENT: If you want to follow my "Gym. Ugh." mix, you can find it here:
Note: You can play it on Random, which is how I usually do it, or just repeat that "Steal My Sunshine" song over and over again. I won't tell.

american horror story season 4 tease
American Horror Story: Coven is beginning to wrap up its phenomenal season (tonight’s episode is a doozy) but co-creator Ryan Murphy has already begun plotting and planning his fourth installment of the FX franchise…as well as peppering the final episodes with tiny hints as to next year’s plot. “It’s set in 1950,” Murphy reveals exclusively to EW. “If you look historically what happened in the year 1950, there’s some more clues in that year. It’s a period piece. We try and do the opposite of what we’ve done before. Jessica Lange has already started practicing her German accent so I’m very excited!” (via)guesses?
you guys, let's whisper.
If you're older than 25, you may not have heard of Whisper. But the app — already popular among high-school and college students across the country — is quickly becoming the most interesting social network around. It allows people to post anonymous Whispers (photos with a line or two of text overlaid on them, in the style of a Reddit image macro) which can then be "hearted" or replied to by other users. Users can view popular Whispers, Whispers with a common keyword, or Whispers posted from a nearby location. (via)

the spoils of babylon starts tonight on IFC.
The six-part series, which begins on Thursday night on IFC with two half-hour episodes, is a broad parody of those overblown mini-series of yore in which wealthy clans lived vapid lives full of steamy melodramatics. It is from Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die shop and features Mr. Ferrell as Eric Jonrosh, an overweight author who introduces each episode, Orson Welles-like, explaining the torturous history of his efforts to bring his “Spoils of Babylon” novel to the small screen.
Tim Robbins is amusing as Jonas Morehouse, the patriarch of an oil-rich clan that includes his daughter, Cynthia (Kristen Wiig), and a young man named Devon (Tobey Maguire), whom Jonas quite literally finds on the side of the road in West Texas in 1931 and welcomes into the family as a son. Cynthia and Devon have the hots for each other, and decades’ worth of preposterous complications result. Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba, Haley Joel Osment and other fairly well-known stars turn up to nudge the story along. (via)it looks weird, but you can't not watch with all those people in it.

but if you really want a thoughtful critical analysis of beyonce's beyonce...
...then just please listen to this 2-hour-long breakdown by what might be my new favorite podcast, the read. emilube recommended it but she doesn't even read this blog so don't give her any credit.
it fills me with joy that we're still talking about beyonce's beyonce. let's talk about it forever ok?
speaking of chimamanda ngozi adichie
Best Thing On The Beyonce Album is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
So as everyone has already stated Beyonce's "feminism" on her latest album is extremely contradictory and problematic - Mia McKenzie outlines a lot of the issues and the critiques of the album, the critiques of the critiques and also acknowledges that we can all still love Beyonce and critique the message in the work.
Anyway, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Ted Talk on feminism, which was sampled on the album, is pretty great and worth a full listen. The interesting part to me is that she talks about this notion of "bottom power." Adichie says:"Some people will say, 'Oh, but women have the real power, bottom power.' And for non-Nigerians, “bottom power” is an expression in which I suppose means something like a woman who uses her sexuality to get favors from men. But “bottom power” is not power at all. Bottom power means that a woman simply has a good root to tap into, from time to time, somebody else’s power." What I find interesting is that, to me, this is the issue with the feminism in Beyonce's work. Beyonce is sort of just wielding “bottom power” and not really subverting or negating male power, if you think about it all the more sexual songs are written from that point of view. I wonder if Beyonce got to that point of the lecture and what she thinks about it? Yonce e-mail us plz!

What is a Polar Vortex?
It's cold as hell, that's what. How are all our readers? This polar Vortex was cold enough for Robert Vick, an escaped convict, to turn himself back into authorities. #CTM. Bet he wasn't expecting minus 20 wind chill when he escaped in Lexington, KY the other day.
If you are seriously interested in what a polar vortex is you can read here, but in a nutshell it belongs at the North Pole with Santa and needs to go back home.
Speaking of Santa! What were your favorite gifts of 2013?

smells like chips
yahoo did a poll of light beers (thanks macbreath!) and trader
Ranking number one, Trader José Light, a private-label beer from the Trader Joe's chain, was surprisingly "pretty OK," according to our tasters. They liked that it "smelled like chips," was "lager-like," and had a "caramel-y" color.who needs a lager? it's lager-like!
i prefer it not be a caramel color, just caramel-y.
this goes to show that it is never too hot for chips.

Mayors - they're just like us!
Although I thought that was Dante's job, according to his mom:
While I respect the Mayor's commitment to Keeping It Real, I kind of also appreciated the fact that Mayor Bloomberg was so rich he could pay someone to do life chores while he focused on mayoral tasks like reducing soda sizes and plopping bike paths everywhere.

well, this is refreshing.
Several of the homes constructed for Hurricane Katrina victims by Brad Pitt’s Make It Right charity are rotting from the inside out, according to the New Orleans Advocate.
The charity used glass-infused wood that’s supposed to be green-friendly. But the material has struggled with moisture — a big problem for homes in a flood zone. The wood is going to be replaced, and Make It Right, which has also helped to rebuild storm-ravaged homes in the Rockaways, is considering legal action.
