YOU MUST CREATE

A part of being a creative person simply boils down to the sheer mental satisfaction of putting in time and effort for a project, and then having a real and tangible piece of work to show for your efforts, whether it's a tee, garment, jewelry piece, or otherwise.

Instant gratification can't be overrated.

On a psychological level, I'm sure that most people sitting at a desk job get frustrated for the fact that there is really very little to show for their personal contributions and hard work.

What I have found over time is that making shit makes me happy. Creation is powerful, no matter on what level. Take my desk. [As you can tell, I sprang for the super luxe Staples joint, dropping $90 for the whole shebang delivered to BK]. This is what the box and shit looked like.



It looked like, well, shit in a box.

Building this bitch was not as easy as those Staples commercials make it seem, with that deceptive, red "Easy" button of theirs. Anyways, after assembling the various panels, poles, and dowels with Machine, Wood, and Cam Screws, the finished product might have been less than spectacular, but hell, it was a finished product.



Needless to say, this was the best part of the instructions.....

WHERE BROOKLYN AT?

I apologize for the hiatus, but I have been sans internet since I moved. I recently got my ass out of Manhattan, across the great divide and landed in the home of Biggie, Jay, Spike, and a whole bunch of other people who are known by their first and last names too. Oh yeah, and the hipsters, punks, thugs, art fucks and blue collar grinders. They out here too.

Straight up, Brooklyn is a pretty dope place. I have spent the majority of my time in New York living in Manhattan, thinking I would never live off the island. But after my boy convinced me to make the move, I have been pretty content out here. I realized that there's this crazy, illogical fear that Manhattanites have of the other Boroughs. But for a downtown kid like myself, it's literally the equivalent of living in Midtown, but with way more space and neighbors rocking tattoos and skinny jeans instead of button downs and polos.

So all in all, I'm pretty excited to be out in BK. The vibe is much chiller, standard of living is cheaper, and the creative community is alive and vibrant. And the ridiculous rooftop don't hurt either.



Fuck tequila, I'll take a Brooklyn Sunrise for my happy hour....
