This Tumblr also serves as a repository of my varied interests and randomness.
You've been warned.
“Went to midnight screening. Jaw, meet floor. Ive run out of superlatives to describe the movie. Whedon is now a minor deity. Whedon’s style permeates the film, and that’s what made it so.bad.ass.
Think Firefly+Buffy+Iron Man with a $200M budget. It is literally like Joss squeezed out his wildest movie making bucket list and made visual crack. OMFG.”
Too much?
That’s the key difference between good friends (even best friends) and a soulmate: there’s an unexplainable attraction that exists on a whole different level. It’s like you pull on each other like gravity.
like trees need the sun.
It’s a necessity.
Wut.
That I want to live somewhere where walking/biking to 90% of the places I need to get to is a viable option. SoCal ain’t cuttin’ it.
One of life’s most difficult things to hold in balance.
But I have to try.
Is to do less, better.
Now to figure out what to quit doing.
Reading a person’s tumblr profile and seeing:
I am 17yrs old and blah blah, a photographer/writer/journalist/blogger/gamer/homie/lover/friend/yadiyada
Uhm. Ok. Slow your roll son. Lemme re-write that for you:
Has a camera (maybe even a dSLR) and knows where the shutter button is/can string words together to form sentences/said ability to string words together was used to submit an article to school newspaper (yay!)/figured out tumblr….
Not to kill your dreams kiddo, but there was a time these titles meant something. The most important thing with assigning these to yourself is learning what it means to deserve ‘em.
Oh, and focus. If you’re all of the above, I seriously doubt you’re excelling at ANY. Think about that for a second.
G’nite.

LOL, iz you giving me a chance to rant?
Oh wow, yeah I completely missed that as I didn’t bother subscribing to their social media feeds after bitching about the first fiasco.
TBH, I have no idea what these guys are thinking. Maybe it’s an inspired bit of laziness that drove the creative department to say, “Hey! Let’s just copy all the old covers of Esquire USA!” (Yeah, I’m linking to you, bitchez.)
I don’t know, it could be they have a legit reason for doing so (Legit being the old, rich fart that bankrolled this whole venture who went to business school in 1955 and thinks he can tell the creative department how they should do their jobs). I’d posit possibly thematic requirements from HQ, but I don’t really buy that because Esquire UK and Esquire USA covers are vastly different in both style and tone. But who knows, really? All I’m saying is it seems that they’re pandering (gave in, laid down to die, “fuck out of the box, we’re staying in it to win it!”) to the annoying Filipino habit of mimicking everything foreign.
Sad really, considering I am a huge fan of Esquire (been subscribed for lord knows how long) and admire Esquire for its balls, creativity, and layouts.
So yeah, once again, an awesome concept half-assed and ruined by Pinoys. What the fuck else is new. Frustrating, but I shouldn’t really be surprised anymore. Mimicry so bad that it’s comical is sooo entrenched in our collective psyche and the blowhard old guard media (who btw seriously just needs to die the fuck out and let in some fresh air) that we’re not going to see any innovative thinking/design take center stage and national attention for a long time. Why do you think our best creative minds actually work for firms/people outside the country? It’s because they are unappreciated at home.
Oh, one thing Esquire Phils conveniently forgot to mirror:
Put your name on it if you’re proud of your work, bitchez.
Sure, that website might still be under construction, but it’s really just text, ain’t it?
You know where to reach me.
When my rational mind overcomes my body’s natural inclination to randomly strangle idiots.
