Can dudes rock pink?

Used to be, if a dude was going to wear pink, he would try to play it off by calling it “salmon” or “strawberry”. No more. Guys are not only admitting to wearing pink, they’re wearing it hard.

Take our boy Charles Hamilton , famed musician. Here he’s featured wearing a bring, almost hot pink Yankees hat with a, get this, Sonic the Hedgehog shirt. He even got the new Dr. Dre headphones in pink.

This has already taken off, we know, but watch for the pinks to come bolder, more distinct, and in greater numbers.

PRE-FAB NEW FAD

In my opinion this is what Elkhart should do: transfer its labor and manufacturing resources to Green/Pre-Fab/Modern Living. The RV industry is hardly a sneeze away from producing Pre-Fab houses, in fact companies like Forest River already have manufactured housing. Its just not this cool.

WINTER®

Is winter a brand?

Spring is about emerging and fall is preparation – both dynamic brands. Winter, on the other hand, just is. Winter isn’t from anywhere or going anywhere. Winter is the here and now – our most existential season.

Winter’s brand traits are dignity and depth. There is majesty in winter that a frivolous spring day cannot match. Fall is too darn busy to pay attention. If the seasons were a royal court, winter would be king. (Fall would be chancellor of the exchequer.)

Winter has arbitrary power. If winter wants to close the airport and keep you waiting, well, there’s nothing you can do about it. On a whim winter will shut down your school. Snow day! – exhilarating words to a child – all thanks to a whim of winter. You don’t plan for a snow day. It just happens. You wake up, and the snow day is.

Winter reminds you to live in the present by breathing cold air down your neck.

Winter has presence. With benign intervention, winter surprises you with diamond-like sparkles in the light of a street-lamp. Winter’s chill reminds you to snuggle up with someone you love.

Winter’s counterpoint is summer – the Miller Light to winter’s Bud. You plan for summer. You have things you want to do in summer. You long for summer. You remember summer.

But winter just is. It is the season of being – not becoming. Winter settles into our streets and our bones and takes its own sweet time to make its meaning clear.

If hip-hop came up hundreds of years ago portraits of aristocrats might look like this.

No Pounds in '09

So New Years Eve is too cool to be called by its full name right?
Bill NYE the science guy agrees. So the westsiders, after throwin'
back bottles and poppin' balloons in faces decided that something
must change in '09.

Out with the pound! No exploding hands in 2009.

Street Cred

After that last pussy-ass realistic post. I had to follow it up with something hard. So I typed in "So Hood" and got this image. I am so hood. (or at least I am currently wearing a sweatshirt with a hood.)

Thats life in the real world..

I never thought i would be saying cliche shit like that, but its soo true. Thats why people say it. Just like artsy engagement pics.

Blogs n' Shit

I am going to use this blog to spray my creativity all over the internet, sharing my discoveries, inventions and less than pc retarded friends. Not for friends and family that are conservative. Raw blatant crassness is what to expect. Peace not bombs.
