I Am Inspired By...

I love that the band knew their song was cheesy, accepted it, and in turn made their music video for the song utterly epic-tastically cheesy. This song made me an official nerd fan of Family Force 5.

You may have noted from earlier posts that music is one of the greatest sources of inspiration for me. Thankfully, some of my closest friends share that same passion. I credit one of my closest friends for showing this song to me. There is something raw and beautiful about this song that really hits home… I think we can all identify with that feeling of messing something up. Big time. Taking the blame is a step in the right direction, and the song makes me curious what comes next in the unidentified relationship. Nonetheless, the song definitely gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it, and I needed to share this with anyone who has an open ear.

1 month agoIt wasn’t until my last semester of college when I realized I don’t enjoy how the world seems to be run by national and global corporations. I realized that fixing all of the problems in the world can’t be solved by government. It’s solved by us. And one way we can fix the economy, for instance, is to stop locally. Support local shops you enjoy. Go to Joe Schmo’s bar rather than the fancy, multi-city chain. Enjoy your city and town for what it is and start from there.

1 month agoOne-take videos are really impressive to me. They take a lot of planning and a lot of dedicated video. Something that makes this video stand out to me, though, is that almost none of these people really had anything in common except for the school they attended. It’s so cool how you get a feel for the school, the students, and this feeling of fun on the campus.
1 month agoSomething I have struggled with since I started my design path has been my inability to produce art. Or at the least, this is a self-imposed feeling, blocking myself from any artistic talent I may or may not have.
The design profession I’ve chosen has taught me a lot about myself, and I continue to improve dramatically compared to where I was a year ago. I have fantastic and encouraging mentors where I work. I read many blogs, magazines and whathaveyou about photography, typography, art, porfolios, advertising, etc.
But it is this entry that helped me better understand what it is I do with my job. It makes more sense, and I feel better.
Thank you to whoever’s random tweet I read that brought me to this page. I can’t even keep track of how I find things anymore. Anyway, check out the link. It’s a good read.
