architecture for the soul, now goodness for my soles........

this is the new world head office for lego, i think if you can't be creative in this kind of work environment, you don't deserve to be in the toy game.....

for the times when i wanna dress up and pretend I'm on boardwalk empire.....

madness, toys and presidents

this watch is for the kind of person who owns lots of stuff, like mines, yachts, you known the sort of man who has concubines and re-enacts scenes from scarface....... audemars piguet, mental expensive, and yet still seems like a good idea....

these are bear brick collectables, they are part of the hello kitty collection...featuring a hello kitty darth vader and a hello kitty daft punk duo, kill me now.....

obama is clearly a sneaker head too, here is is with spike lee, spike designed some custom jordans and gave the president a pair. go spike.

post christmas consumer lust...........

so christmas is over, but that doesnt mean we cant still look at the good stuff, it just means that we can only lust after it because we are all broke..... and if you arent broke, you clearly didnt spend enough on meaningless consumer goods over the festive season and i strongly encourage you to do it now. you may ask why, and the answer is simple, somebody needs to keep the economy going in these uncertain times, and that person may as well be you..........

so here is what im feeling right now............

everybody puts "go back to gym" at the top of their new years resolutions.......so grab some new gear to make it more tolerable, youre gonna feel like shit the first couple times but at least  you will look awesome.....

casual kicks for the post workout times......you can be comfy and look fresh at the same time

or just blow gym off completely and stay home in a back breaking but stylish piece of modern furniture.....

im not even sure who makes this watch, but its called the miramar..... and for all my top gun nerds out there, miramar is where the top gun academy is.... so this watch is worth every penny.

a brave new world..........

a new year is upon us. resolutions have been made,and no doubt already broken. for me this year is of greater importance than usual. for one, i plan to graduate, something that has been a long time coming and in the opinions of some, a long time over due. this may mean precious little to you, because you the reader, may have graduated already, maybe you already have a job, or perhaps you are at the other end of the spectrum and are still a student of some sort. to those of you still tied to an academic institution of some sort, all i can say to you is enjoy it, its over before you come to realise how important it all is. to those of you that have moved past that stage, i hope its all what you wanted it to be and you havnt just settled for an uninspiringly safe option.

one thing i have learned recently is that nowadays people are more inclined to compromise their dreams, their ambitions if it means that they can get a job today, so that they dont have to worry about not having one tomorrow. sadly, i have come to realise that these people have the right approach. in times like these, people just consider themselves lucky to have a job, a 9-5.

it seems that qualifications take the proverbial back seat to expirience in many cases nowadays. unless of course you happen to be a nuerosurgeon or the like. the only problem with this relatively sound theory is that it seems that this initial expirience is quite hard to come by. i can personally vouch for this, it seems that it can be easier for an expirienced individual to later gain a qualification than it is for a qualified person to gain expirience in a relevant industry.

the idea that a person has to be willing to work their way up from the bottom seems to be lost on my generation, which makes me more than slightly frustrated and leaves an entire generation of graduates at a self imposed disadvantage. all i know for sure though is that when somebody sees something in me that is great enough to allow them to take a chance on me, im not going to say no thanks, im going to take it and turn it into something special.

as children we are told to follow our dreams, as teenagers we are told to find something we love, and as graduates we are told to settle for a job. i guess things change.
