Fight fires in your best clothes,

Touch skin with your eyes closed,

Chase thunder

With the volume down

Have you seen the movie yet? You must. Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattenson have equal amounts of genetic perfection goin' on in that flick. Oofta perfection in the face. Reese covers this month's Vogue; here are a few photos from her stunning editorial.

You know those sick futuristic movies where computers and screens are made entirely of glass?? Umm, that's almost a reality.

New movie starring Jason Bateman and Ryan Renolds. Awwww yeeeeuuuh.

The world needs more "I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me" kids like this dude. If this video doesn't make you smile there's something wrong with you.

A beautiful quote, from the man himself. Is it legit to quote Bob Marley in your future wedding vows? I'm not ruling it out.

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

— Bob Marley
