Pixellism 

A movement of artistic imagery based on the use of visible individual digital pixels, as a means of displaying truth in the use of digital tools and material as a medium. This movement is grounded as an anti-response to the existing growing trend containing hyper-realistic-sharpness in digital photography, printing, or other visual arts.
I'm fucking tired of having to wear my lenses to truly gauge the essence of this photographers' neurosis with sharp imagery of landscape. I'm more into Pixellism.

Powellism 

Any overly analytical statement on the subject of love made by the poor fool caught in romance, who in attempting to defend his manhood and independence against the chains of social norms and tradition through frequent rhetorical musings (Facebook anyone?), still fails to obscure the sentiment leaking from his big mushy heart, as his knightly actions (couples pic for profile image?) betray the yearnings of a hopeless, besotted, romantic soul.
Can you believe Jeff bought his girlfriend a 3 carat ring after last week's Powellism? He was pretty insistent that marriage in secular society was the last vestige of mankind's domination over women. Interesting his latest tweets don't mention he's getting hitched.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
