  • Project 365: 15 Minutes

    After pouring over all the pictures from last night ARTafterDARK, what do I post for Project 365?

    The first one I took all evening.

    Of course, no truer words can be spoken, especially with today’s era of celebrity where people are famous for being (in)famous.

    ARTafterDARK was a hecka fun event last night.  I’m just glad that Ian came along for the ride, because he got to see what I normally see on a weekly basis.  I’m happy to report that NSK & ESKAE got themselves a new fan last night.

    The music was epic, the dancefloor was full of characters and I even had some locked eye contact with the most amazing looking female there, who promptly disappeared into the ether right afterwards.  I swear, I could not find that person after the fact.

    Oh well, maybe it was God telling me that there is no ideal, just a reality whose time hasn’t come to pass yet.

    Let’s just hope so.

    Big ups to Teresa for making my head look like this.

    Seriously, it’s really funny because it’s actually a mullet if you look at it closely. It’s like a fashion mullet. Apparently it’s the steez in Italy but I’m thinking that I need to do some research about that LOL.

    But I’ve gotten nothing but compliments from peeps, so I guess it’s a good thing, right?

    Anyway, today is the last day of vacation, so I’mma live it up a bit by tryna hustle for this art show. Also got an intro I need to write for church in a few weeks. Here’s to being productive.

    JOURNEY!

    The whole crew threw down for TWO AND A HALF UNINTERRUPTED HOURS of musical bliss.  Their musicianship was never at question and Neal Schon is a BEAST on the guitar.  Absolutely destroyed every crunchy riff.

    It was the first concert that I’ve been to that I can honestly say I got my money’s worth.  That was easily the best concert I’ve been to in a while.  Good job Uncle Tom Moffatt for throwing this all together.

    And there’s two more Oahu shows to go.  Big UPS to those who are ging to those, you are NOT gonna be disappointed.

     
  • Project 365: Yogurt Mama

    There’s a reason why they call it Yogurt Mama & not Yogurt Papa.

    The female:male ratio was at least 8:1. Normally good for the club, not so good for the yogurt spot.

    And it’s really hard to judge yogurt spots really because normally, you’re the one making your own yogurt. So, if it sucks, you got no one to blame but yourself, really.

    Awkward would just explain the whole day & being in that eatery just made it worse. Especially when Terry Crews rolls up, grabs some yogurt & starts singing Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.” OK, I made up that last part, but he might as well have at that point.

    I don’t think it would have been any less awkward.

    One of the downsides of constantly finding myself at a Starbucks is that you have to deal constantly with marketers.

    You know those guys, Quicstar sales pitch, knife selling, always trying to either make money or recruit people to make money for them.

    You know those guys.

    Well, yesterday kinda took the cake. I was waiting for @hk47 to go and watch “I Love You, Man” in Mililani, I spot this. It’s an obviously obvious marketer pulling out a printer/fax combo. It’s pretty hilarious really.

    Brings new meaning to Starbucks being the third place.

     
  • Project 365: Fashion Forward

    You know, I hope I have this much style when I’m older. Nothing’s more fashion forward than a beret really.

    Also, I’m not too sure if the guy was sleeping or not, but either way he looks really relaxed.

    Sometimes, you need to look back to look forward. Classic style never change.

    Well, since my night got smashed by some indecision, I guess I’ll just post up my Project 365 photo for Sunday, March 22nd.

    This shot came courtesy of an unlikely source.  I think Chris Laporga pointed this out & I went & got a shot of it before leaving the McDonald’s near Ward Warehouse.

    Nothing was done to this photo, it is what it is.  I think I’m starting to discover what I can do with an image with any sort of camera.

    AND this was taken with a point & shoot.  Of course, I didn’t take it with normal settings, but that comes with practice.  Which I’ve gotten a lot of in the past couple of months.

    Look past the image & notice the beauty of intentional design & accidental discovery.

    Failure’s hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you’re successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever.
    – Po Bronson
    Never before have I been so inspired to make things happen. I need to really reevaluate what’s going on in my world. Where I’m spending my time, who I’m spending it with.  Everything.

    Need to keep it moving and not focus too much on what could be, but what can be. Let’s get it today, peoples. Let’s get it.

     
  • Project 365: March Madness part 2 

    atypicalLIVING 4:10 am on March 20, 2009 Permalink | Reply

    This was taken at the end of the Madness, so to speak.

    I had Western Kentucky/Illinois and UCLA/VCU on the Macbook Pro. I also had the Lakers/Warriors game on HD in the background.

    Yeah, I overdid it on basketball yesterday. And I enjoyed every minute of it.
