i love music videos and i think they are a very underrated form of art. perhaps it's because i was obsessed with watching music videos on mtv growing up but i can really appreciate a well made mv. matching visuals to music and being able to tell a story in just a couple of minutes

If you have ‘dibs’ on something, you claim or declare rights to that thing before anyone else.
‘Dibs’ comes from an old children's game called ‘dibstones,’ which resembled the game of jacks.

The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K
