Abandonia

So, The Wiz put me on to this website which had the new, leaked short made by spike jonze and Kanye West. I must admit I watched the whole thing and loved every minute of it, hopefully it’s still up here, matter of fact, I will embed it here eff it:

When We Were a Fairytale from Melody Robinson on Vimeo.

Anyhoo, watched that crazy video on this site: http://twistedsifter.com, which is my new favorite site, it is full of random stuff and tenacious initrigue. The article that caught my attention was one in which Twisted Sifter points out some of best Mike Tyson quotes of all time. THEN, this post lead me to the best so far: pictures of the inside of Mike Tyson’s abandoned Ohio mansion. Apparently there is atleast one certified genius in Ohio, and he is forever bonded to this site: Illicit Ohio. He had to take alot of the pictures down of the mansion, but you can find them on this foreign forum site(warning: thumbnails of boobies on the left and right of this site these thumbnails have boobies and are definitely NSFW). I spent a good 45 minutes to an hour on this site(not because of the sweet sweet boobies I swear), Tyson’s house is unbelievable. It is ginormous and looks like ol’ Mikey just picked up and got the hell out of there, he left water in the pool, the phones off the hook, and random peices of stereo equipment. Somebody mentioned in teh comments or the post that they should have a rave at this symbol of modern-age decadence and I wholeheartedly agree. This put me in a whole new direction: abandoned buildings. First I looked at Illicit Ohio’s photo essay on David’s restaraunt.
Then you know I gotta Goo-Goo that ish so I was off. The first site I found isn’t done being designed, making it one of the most half-assed websites I have ever seen and I forgot how I found it, but this lead me on a journey which left me up til 2am. After that I found the best site for abandoned buildings: http://www.forbidden-places.net/. Abandoned asylums people! This ish is freaky, effing abandoned asylums!!! How creepy is that, One of the best parts are the comments people leave, they range between truly creepy and very stupid, either way, fun had by all. I didn’t plan on writing a spooky Halloween post, it just worked out that way. Holla fo a dolla.
