This Isn't Happiness

I like tumblelogs. Do you? I tumble myself. But my favorite tumblelog is Peter Nidzgorski's This Isn't Happiness. It's mostly images, sometimes quotes or words or videos or music, and the one thing I can say for sure about it in sum total is that it's always beautiful, whether the subject is politics or poverty, women or zombies, life or death. Also, you may want to check out Nevver, where Nidzgorski mashes movie stills and MP3's daily to delightful effect. (Photo credit: Raul Gutierrez, original photo, Flickr stream.)

That picture is absolutely fantastic. That might be the best thing I've ever seen.

Lucky kid.

Copies of 11/5 newspapers are already appearing on eBay.

The other pix on the site are cute too.

Looks a little young to have voted. I guess I'll let it slide.

It looks like he's squeezing a little yet troublesome present out for that nice man. God bless him!

Also, thanks for the links, I do like them.

Damn, that photo of Obama on the This Isn't Happiness tumblelog was amazing. It's like a cross between Uncle Sam and Kennedy. Fabulous.

People always say stuff like that about us asians. To me, the guy holding the paper is obviously in his late 30s to early 40s.

do you think he's old enough to have a political stance?

So he's actually too OLD to be an Olympic gymnast?
