Random Things

Because I intern for Mighty Healthy, I can't help but read what else the street-wear game is doing. I used to be mad into it when I was in high school, but do to the over-saturation of the market, I've had to step out and try to do my own thing, which ironically is what everyone else is trying to do. 

I can call myself a hype beast, or whatever, but I'm just trying to find mine. Sooner or later we find our niche, whether it's waiting in line for the a pair of Nike quick strikes, to going out and over-spending on the latest barely-there piece of cloth that American Apparel put out, eventually you finally find your groove. 

I wish painting was in the same market as photography. As much as I like photo, it will never be on the same plateau as painting. Granted paint can be argued as a dead art form, it can't be touched by anything else. As much calculation as you can put into it, it can never be as mechanically perfect as other art forms. Quote me on that. 

While we're on art, I hate that photographers charge MAD loot for shit other people can do. I mean I can knock on a dude's hustle, but if I can do the same thing. In less amount of time, best believe I'll undercut the competition. With that said, seriously. Fuck Tone. Gimme some flash bang grenades, a flood lamp, Photoshop and some aluminum foil and I'll give you the same shit. 

Word. 

No Time

Early in the morning I kept you updated, now I think it's time to say what I've really been up to.

So school has been out for two weeks now, I think, and all I've been doing really is working. Since coming back to Jersey City I've put in about 40+ hours of work at two different jobs combined. I'm interning at Mighty Healthy, doing some small marketing, and taking pictures of their Fall line, it's fucking ill. I'm going to convince all to cop once it drops. LOL rhyming. And at night I work at American Apparel. . . again. It's an easy job really, that's why I went back. I'm in the Flat Iron store this time, which is 10x easier, and busier. 

Since turning 21 I've only been drunk once, and that was on my birthday. Well mainly the eve of, but it went into my birthday. I was puking most of that day. The day OF, I had like two drinks. Once with the family, at my birthday party with them. Which I would say doesn't really count because I drank there even before I turned 21. And then I had a drink with Phil at a bar in New Brunswick.

I've moved out of my one apartment in Rutgers on Memorial Day. That is how I spent it. Loading and unloading like I'm in a Rambo movie. It went by quick, and I finally realized that I have too much shit. I need to condense that piece or something. It's getting ridiculous. On June 1st, I have to go to my new apartment at Rutgers and unload the stuff I have into it, as well as drop off my first month's rent. The new place is so sick. We got the entire house, a full basement and two bathrooms, one of which has a biday. NO MORE WIPING MY ASS. Just kidding, I don't need that shit to get itchy. But yeah, Tom is going to be my roommate again, and we're gonna kill it. Get a Sega Genesis or something and play NBA Jam all day everyday. We're also going to set up a little mini office in the spare room and do work in there. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I have weekends off at both jobs, so I'm going to try and do my art during then. I get home a little before 12am every night so it's hard to do anything else besides check out my facebook, look at porn and hit up my PSP, which I finally started using again after a year. The summer is going by pretty quick but yet slowly as I've feel like I've been removed from school for mad long. It's going to be June soon, and knowing how these four years have been moving. September will be flashing her titties in my face pretty quickly. One more year left of school. I'm also using my summer planning that out as well.

I'd like to keep you guys, and by guys I mean the 6 followers I have, updated with some picture material, but that will have to be brought up at a later date. I need to find models I can work with at night and I need to get a fatter memory card and learn how to use RAW files. Just stay tuned. Something is bound to turn up. 

Updatez

Hard to update as much as I would like.

Turned this past weekend.

Working mad hours.

I should sleep in the next 30 mins.

Mad beat.

Just to let you know.

Sometimes I'm just like, "ugh, wtf"...

Especially in the case of Nike's new monstrosity. A fucking gladiator shoe. Seriously. Ugh.

Photos from Hype Beast.



What are you thinking, Nike?

Back In Jersey City

School's out for the summer. It's not out forever. . . yet.

I start my internship at Mighty Healthy and I think I'm getting my job back at American Apparel. I'm going to be busy as fuck.

Ugh. I'll figure something to blog about later.

Just keeping you updated.

Twitterdat.

I've been looking to tag

A majority of my pictures have been going up on facebook seeing how no one really knows about this yet. But during the summer when I get things up and running, a lot of my photos are going to find their way here. I just need my own site to play with. I'm really thinking about just linking this to the site and letting it just be this like the Sartorialist. I'll see how it goes. Anything can happen.

The hardest thing about blogging for me is that I try too hard to think of something clever to talk about. If I didn't I'd be on this everyday, sometimes three times a day. But once I start getting traffic here. I'll be all about it.

Just something I'm working on to add to my pictures. I dont know what font to choose :(
