Tolkien was known for his dislike of allegory, and tried to avoid any overt references to religion (mainly Christianity). He wanted his work to be seen as a fictional mythological legendarium for Great Britain, to parallel Scandinavian, Greek and Roman mythology.
I read in some textbook on Tolkein that his literary universe was created from the desire to give Britain a 'proper' mythology (other than Arthurian legends et al) as found in other cultures e.g. ancient Greece, as well as a setting for the languages he devised.
The swift Gaga praise with Madead & Nicki scalpings
That article is TRASH though, they are hating on Iconic.
Quote:
Nicki Minaj, famed rapper and wacked-out cultural figure known for her sexually explicit lyrics and crazy regalia, drops in for a brief verse to help remind Madonna who she is on “B*tch I’m Madonna” (Nicki raps “It’s that go hard or go home zone, b*tch/ I’m Madonna, these hoes know”). Some critics have a tendency to compare Madonna to the “artpop” of Lady Gaga, but Minaj might be a more fitting analog, as Gaga’s “Sound of Music” tribute at the Oscars this year showcases real sensibility and talent, rather than mediocrity masked by an elaborate wardrobe.
Omg this gif reminds me of how on GTA San Andreas I would run everyone over near the pier while being chased by cops with 5 stars. Like it looks exactly like somewhere in San Andreas
I know you'd like it if I stayed home and cried
But that ain't gonna happen, here's the reason why
When we did it, I'll admit it, wasn't satisfied
When the gun was loaded you were never on my side
I'm popping bottles that you can't even afford
I'm throwing parties and you won't get in the door
Said it, Did it, Loved it, Hated it
I don't care no more
Tell me how it feels to be ignored
