My jaunt into the art world
I’m considering starting a company. Lets see if I can sum it up effectively and concisely (its a quality they suggest you perfect).
The company provides a source of revenue for the “starving” artist. The company produces and sells high-quality art prints. The prints are from original art prints with a limited run. The artist submits the original art, the website’s...
Comments
I’ve put a little comment widgit at the end of each post. So if anyone is inclined to comment on what I say, now you can.
On dreams
Since the only two people who actually read my blog wrote a piece on dreams, I thought I could write on it too. I’ll start by sharing a quote:
“Two weeks from the transition from working on great possibilities to working on the depressing realities.”
Yep, I just quoted myself. That was a tweet written two weeks before I finished my last classes to graduate. I think it is still...

Blog redesign
I redesigned how my blog looks. It’s super opaque heavy and in the process, somewhat frustrating. It’s intentional.
Tell me how it looks!
Personality of Cities and the manufactured one
In my previous post that I have yet to finish I talk about the personality of cities. But more than just personailities, Cities have a soul. It breathes, you can feel it. Its a collection of people and passions that drive them to the city. The city is where you can become who you’ve ever wanted to be. To hide in the masses. To be surrounded by the people you connect with the most, regardless...

Cities and their push
I’ve been thinking about this subject for a while now, but finally someone put the idea into words. Now, for some reason, I can articulate my feelings on it now.
Paul Graham, founder of the Y-Combinator, is a fairly successful man, having invested in over 150 different companies. More importantly, his opinion is valued in the startup industry because its a good one. Usually, they are...

40 years
I’m currently staying in my late (meaning he’s dead) grandpa’s house in Los Angeles. My parents have been slowly renovating it for the past year now and we’re just about ready to put it on the market.
For 40 years, my grandfather lived in this house. He wasn’t very proactive about maintaining his house, but one thing I found quite puzzling.
My grandfather was about...

Broken
Society is broken.
Going forward, I’m curious to how this time in my life will influence everything else I do.
I have put a lot of emphasis in my life on my perspective. I think it is a fundamental aspect of who you are and what you do. For the first 21 years of my life, I thought this way about society and my role in it:
“Be the best student you can. You are smart and with that you...
