bbc-bestbromancecompany:

Nerdfighter Benedict? Or just failed Vulcan?

As far as I can tell, there are eight possibilities here. (I’ve spent a fair bit of time thinking about this.)

1. Benedict Cumberbatch is a hardcore nerdfighter and when Martin Freeman threw up a gang sign, Cumberbatch was like, “I have one of those.”

2. Cumberbatch, who obviously has a relationship with Star Trek, just naturally changed the Vulcan sign (pulling in the thumbs, turning the palms inward, crossing the arms) in precisely the same way that I happened to change the Vulcan sign when I first made the nerdfighter sign in the halcyon days of 2007.

3. One of the interns on set who has gained the trust of Benedict Cumberbatch was like, “If you do your hands like this, the Internet will get really excited.” And so he did.

4. BBC, in their infinite wisdom, staged the entire photo and Cumberbatch was taught the nerdfighter sign (I MEAN LOOK AT THE PERFECTION OF HIS NERDFIGHTER SIGN! He seems so comfortable and confident in it, almost as if it is muscle memory, almost as if he has flashed it to his laptop screen on hundreds of occasions in the past, but I digress) and this photograph was staged to get people psyched for Sherlock, although what tiny segment of nerdfighteria is not already psyched for Sherlock? Also, if this is the case, who is Martin Freeman trying to advertise to? Residents of the West Side?

5. Benedict Cumberbatch has a relative or a friend who is a nerdfighter and so he is passingly familiar with nerdfighteria and liked what he has seen and wanted to make us all very happy.

6. The nerdfighter sign also happens to be the hand sign of some obscure English gang with which I am unfamiliar called like The East London Wanderers or The Slightly Intimidating Liverpudlians or whatever.

7. Nerdfighteria actually figures in the plot of the new season of Sherlock. Perhaps a nerdfighter has been (wrongly no doubt!) accused of a murder.

8. Benedict Cumberbatch was playing some kind of British version of Rock Paper Scissors against two invisible opponents, and he went double scissors (as any smart person would).

I’ve been called everything in the book while being on Youtube and none of it ever really effects me because it’s Youtube. This comment however has made me feel pretty terrible:

Olan..sorry but I feel this video just wasn’t worth the time it took. (I mean everyone has different likes and dislikes…

Critic’s Math. 1 insult + 1,000 compliments = 1 insult.

It’s impossible to unhear the negative and difficult to accept the positive.

Please don’t let one person’s disappointment outweigh the thousand who are proud to have supported the project. I, for one (and I know I don’t stand alone), believe that in all aspects, it was worth it.

We love it when street artists get really thoughtful about choosing the locations and placement of their work. This spectacular piece was created by Nuxuno Xän on a wall in Fort De France, Martinique. A tree growing up behind the wall playfully completes the mural by serving as most of the hairdo belonging to the suave person painted on the wall itself, who appears to know just how awesome his hair is.

This week has been a week of remembrance. Not only because Sunday was a day to remember and celebrate the soldiers of past and present and their sacrifices, but because today marks one year since my dad passed.

Some days it feels like it’s been years, and other days it feels like we lost him last week. Overall, though, this year has been a year of healing. It has been by no means easy, but the healing process never is.

I just wanted to share a small view into the life of the man who showed me how to love, how to laugh, and how to appreciate everything I have.

**The song is by Matthew Perryman Jones; he lost his father and has been able to express the sorrow and the joy associated with loss through the medium of music. This particular song was, for me, very apropos.
