It’s been cold outside lately, but things are heating up online. This is Tim. He’s a really talented artist and web developer who is going to be revamping On Our Way To Stardom sites and help launch two new endeavors with me. You’ll here more about it in the weeks to come but until then, visit his site.
Doom the Future.
Recently I spent some time with friends making their mark on an abandoned building in downtown El Paso. Between Adam of Ltl. Monster, Peter of the Transnational Trolley Project, and Alex of Fusion Magazine, it’s no wonder the project was such a success. I’ve been asked to help out with a mini-doc of the event so this probably won’t be the last you see of this stuff.
Some of you all might know Adam (left) from the monthly La Parada parties over at the San Carlos building. In case you don’t recognize Werk, he is an amazing graffiti artist I’ll be collaborating with soon for an interesting video looking into his work.
Raydub is a familiar face on here and a founding member of Maintain. He’s also a DJ and newest contributor to the newly forming Stardom.FM!
If you guessed L-I-F-E, you’re right.
I’m in the process of moving and there’s something humbling (and frustrating) about putting all the pieces of you inside some cardboard. It’s a feeling I’ve had often in recent years, but this move feels different. I haven’t been able to post in a while and it’s fitting this post follows that last “idea” post. My ideas are coming into fruition and some things are going to change, (the format of my blog for one). It’s your move, 2012.
On a side note, can we just all agree that the new year doesn’t start until a week in?
Have you ever had one of those “holy shit!” ideas where your heart races just thinking of the possibilities? Where the stars align for just a split second in your train of thought and you’d give anything to just not be human for a while; so sleep, hunger and other trivialities could be avoided. Not indefinitely, just long enough for you to bask in the warmth that radiates while you connect dot-to-dot. What if you had that feeling twice? Five times? A dozen? Better yet, what if you gave yourself that gift everyday? To just spend a moment each morning pushing the limitations you fell asleep with. What if it didn’t have to stop there? Actually manifesting your sketches into a new routine and formula of life. Where it’s founded on persistence and self-control, to be calculating and nurturing while that spark of energy materializes… humbling yourself when it doesn’t go as planned but having the wherewithal to try again. THINGS DON’T JUST HAPPEN. They’re imagined, evolved, and coefficient with the fearlessness and determination it takes to transpire. Dream bigger, work harder and be satisfied with the results… no matter what they are.
