Newark riots, 1967

The 60s in US brought a bunch of changes, mostly social ones. Also there was a bunch of hippies and experimental substances. One of the main hip and cool things to do back then was to fight for something called "human rights". All you had to do was to go out on the street and stick it to the man, then somehow, magically, tomorrow will be a better day for everybody.

I've stared at this picture for like 10 minutes and couldn't come up with a witty caption. Sorry.

One of these events were the Newark riots in July, 1967. Basically, the police of Newark was closely related to the KKK and would pull over brothers for no reasons at all, disrupting their busy schedule of malt liquor drinking. One day they pulled over the wrong motherfucker and riots broke out. Movie coming soon, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Shia LaBeouf.

British special forces training

Jumping around on rocks, rappelling down cliffs... flying off them. It's just one of the many things they can do, all in the name of the British colonial rule of the world freedom and democracy. Special forces have been existent for a long time in military history. They train hard and are sent out to high risk missions (sabotage, reconnaissance, raids, search and destroy, headquarters, team deathmatch and free for all).

I think the most famous special forces unit is SAS. It was kinda formed in WW2 to mess around with the Germans but after the war they got serious. Real serious. They're probably most known for taking care of the hostage situation in the Iranian embassy in London, 1980, but there are many more instances where they showed up and proved how truly badass they are.

Blimp over Turnaround - Seaside, Oregon

This place still exists today. It's neat to see how the turnaround stood up to the wear and tear of time and how people got more weight on. I assume this was taken in the 1940s judging by the cars, clothing and the image itself.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a blimp. Calm down.

Then again, it could be some time before the Hindenburg since there's a blimp flying around... Who knows. Seaside, Oregon is a neat little place in Clatsop county with about 6.500 people. It was founded in the 1800s. The name comes from Seaside House which was an old summer resort built by Ben Holladay, a railroad monarch.

Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee

The 70s were a great era. Great music, entertainment, hilarious outfits, even more hilarious hairstyles and beards. What really marked the 70s for me was music and cinema. You had all sorts of movies being made, but I really dig the action ones... and vintage uhh... ones. Such era paved the way for world wide known artists and actors that everybody heard of and knows of even today.

The third guy is trying to get away from all the badassery.

Take Chuck Norris for example. He really kicked off (more like roundhouse kicked off, amirite?) in the 70s with several movies before solidifying his place on the throne of cheesy action TV shows with "The Texas Ranger" or walker or something, I never watched a single episode of it, couldn't do it. Bruce Lee on the other hand, was a pretty badass dude. He fought for a living, who knows what else he did in Hong Kong and made only several film appearances but he carved his name straight into legend.
