Keep It Original

Some people have it all wrong when it comes to approaching the things that they do.

They are busy watching whatever styles are prevalent in their scene, often imitating them, and hoping that this misguided path will lead them to being “cool” or in the "in crowd"…

That's whack.

Nothing has ever come from being just like everyone else...well maybe except a false sense of group security.

Almost all progression originates from saying "Hey, Let me try it my way…"

You may end up with an “Unusual style”, but you best believe it will be doper than being another carbon copy. Isn't it better to create the trends instead of following them?

Like they say "Everyone on the planet earth is unique".

So if you JUST BE YOUR SELF then what you do will automatically be original….

Fly Thursday Forecast !!!





Whether your out on your board shredding the streets with your homies or chillen with a couple of honeys, I have a variety of brands that will keep you looking fresh to shred and fresh for your lady at the same time. Today's featured brand of the week will be from : "The Hundreds". The Hundreds is a street-wear brand that started in Los Angeles , California by Ben & Bobby Hundreds.

The Hundreds have 3 store based shops in LA, San Fran, and also The Big Apple NYC , yet the brand can be purchased on their website http://shop.thehundreds.com/ or on other websites such as

Sponsor Yourself!

Lately, I’ve noticed that some people are living as if, “100% fuck money” or “100% Get Money by any means necessary”, are the only financial paths in life. Yeah, I’m against mindless materialistic tendencies but you still got to make sure that the bare essentials are covered.

Being on 100% artistry can have you looking mad hungry, For Real.

It’s called being a starving artist for a reason.


That is why people need to “sponsor" themselves. Just think about how, “A little education” +”A gravy job” = “Your own personal music studio, Skate trips every weekend, Unlimited art supplies, Brand new camera equipment, etc., etc.”

…I already know that a lot of y’all are dedicated to the crafts that you do…

So look at it like this...why not get on the grind FOR what you want…you’d be surprised how much you can keep it 100% when you don’t have to worry about making ends meet with what you love to do.

Which means you can get were you want to be a lot faster.

Not to mention that sometimes getting, that “deal” , that “sponsorship” or that “contract”; can some times lead to you doing something you love on someone else’s terms … which was what a lot of people are trying to get away from in the first place…

SO SPONSOR YOURSELF!
