Fireplace

So much to say about a warm fire place, but I'll keep it short. In my opinion nothing brings a family closer than sitting by the warm fire and exchanging stories. It's a very warm and comforting feeling, being with the people you love and hearing about their thoughts, feelings, and desires. It's almost a bit symbolic, don't you think?

Christmas Tree Farm

This is the Christmas Tree Farm in Lake Toxaway North Carolina. We have a second home here, but its on the lake of Lake Toxaway. As a family we've been coming here since I was five and continue to do so now every summer and Thanksgiving. We pick our Christmas tree out here every year and my mom drives it all the way back to Florida, where we live full time. Its a great tradition I look forward to every year!

Qatar Airways Commercial

Great ad done by180 Amsterdam!! Really got creative here creating a land completely run by the soccer team of FC Barcelona. The main goal of this commercial is to show that Qatar Airways are proud supporters of FC Barcelona. Considering that soccer is the most popular sport worldwide and that FC Barcelona is one of the most popular and well-liked teams worldwide, my guess would be that this ad did very well for Qatar Airways revenue stream.

creating art in unexpected places

I created this water drop cup after finishing a Chipotle burrito, but didn't realize how cool it looked until after I finished putting on all the water drops. I then put it in black and white, which I think gives it a much more artistic/creative feel.

coffee

Saw this sign in a store today and thought it was pretty funny because its true. I also thought to myself..."What would I do without coffee?" or better yet, "Where would the human race be without coffee...........?"

...probably a few steps back haha

Andy Irons

Although he passed away Andy Irons was and still is a huge inspiration to me. His drive, effort, and pure love of surfing is what makes him such an idol to me. Below is a short video about why Andy Irons surfs and how he got to be one of the best surfers in the world.

Pike for Puppies

Pike for Puppies is this Thursday (november 7th) on BLVD at SMU. Plenty of puppies just like the ones you see below will be on the BLVD from 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It's for a great cause and seriously...who's day isn't brightened up by puppies..?

I started Pike for puppies last year because my fraternity need a philanthrophy event to stay on good standings with the school. I thought that if we had to do one of these philanthrophy events, then why not one that would actually get alot of attention with the entire student body. So I started Pike for puppies because no one can resist an adorable little puppy. Not only does the event raise awareness, but a few puppies even get adopted.

DaVerse Lounge

DaVerse Lounge's performance last thursday was incredible!! It had flare, depth and a great message. I took away that I too could be interested in stand-up poetry, but what really grabbed my eyes were the stunning flips that one of the gentlemen was performing. Not only was he just doing flips, but reciting poetry at the same time!! Amazing!! I've always wanted to learn how to do flips like he was doing, and his performance has motivated me enough to start practicing. The video below is a tutorial for how to do a b-twist flip, which is one of the flips he used in his performance. This is going to be the first flip that I attempt to learn.
