Build it Better


When you have all of these ideas in your head, you get excited. You start placing additional parts together and wondering how to execute them. Nonfiction is that puzzle. It one of the many puzzles that I have been trying to build for a few years. And although I have some pieces, I want more. Think of it is a lego set. We got the base parts, colored parts, boards, and other fancy ish. When I first start some of my dreams I jump right to the end product and forget to build a base. Right now I am building (rebuilding) Nonfiction's base. Look out for a new look, a more refined look, and something that has been in the works for a while. Until then, keep playing with them legos.

Letting Go/Getting Back to a Familiar Place




My whole collection of boxed kicks, sneaks, steps -- whatever you may call them -- I'm handing over the rights to BJ to sell and do away with. While I made up my mind a while ago, that really I can do without, I'm still finding it difficult to let go. Not because of the depth to which I collected, but simply because of all the great memories that came along as a result of.


The picture above is the moment after the time my brother and I picked up the same pair of shoes, hysterically I'll much more remember the memories that subsequently followed. Moving and grooving to "Thriller" & "P.Y.T" in our underwear, high above the hills of San Francisco. They were cool shoes, but FUN times I'll never forget.


So I'm letting go and I'm also getting back to a place where several of my fondest memories occurred. The next few weeks will commence a new start, but gratefully I'll be able to get some rest and relaxation, headed back to California to revel in memories created and live in the ones to come.
