so its 3am
billy is in the kitchen reading up a storm
im in the room TRYING to focus on my math hwk
but i cant help it
when i look at numbers and formulas
i cant help but think wow isnt there more to life
obviously there is more to life then just what is in these pages
furthering the Lord’s kingdom is my main goal in life
but right under that…can UVA really be my gateway to the future?
im not gunna lie, i cant resist the security a steady job will bring me
work a 9-5, make good money, raise a family with it
i mean wuts so wrong with that right??
but too me, even though i think id be comfortable with that, i dont think its ok for me to just be content
sometimes i feel like im cheating myself outa my dreams
Bobby Ben
i really look up to these guys
Bobby and Ben hundreds are co creators of the brand The Hundreds
i have alot of their clothes
they were both law school students at loyola law school in LA
they met and realised they had alot in common when it came to style
both really into the sub culture of punk rock and hiphop
you can see this in their designs as they use alot of blacks with flourescent colors
it reminds people of the 80’s
even the graphics remind people of cartoons they used to watch as kids
their brand is a testament to California culture and how its a big mixing pot of styles and taste
not just in clothes but in music, art, and pretty much anything anyone is into
this is Adam Bomb
it’s the logo for the hundred’s brand
love this guy
basically bobby and ben followed their dream…they took what they loved and turned it into their life
bobby says “i wanted to live my life drawing cartoons but not as just a cartoonist”
now these law school kids own a brand that is worn by everyone from me to celebrities
they jet set around the world to promote their brand and learn more about other brands
they are personal friends with artist that i admire like David Choe, Topher, Michael Lau
Bobby designs everything that they sell
they have done collaborations with different artist and corporations like Disney
they supply clothes to over 400 stores not to mention their flag ship stores in California
i can only dream of one day doing what they have done…not make my own clothing brand (but that would be ballin)
but just follow my dream and work hard cause i know ill be successful
fear of the unknown draws me back into this safe shell of schooling and eventually desk jobbing
i dont want to make it sound like there is any wrong with that
if your passion is to be secure and have a steady living so you can support a future family
then praise God for that
but a part of me doesnt think thats enough
though ill prolly follow this path because i dont have the COJONES to actually jeopardize security
yea i know im a sell out
maybe one day ill be able to be like Bobby and Ben
make work not seem like work cause its something i love…
anyways its 3:20
back to life of hwk, test, papers, and all nighters
later world…
