Life is Life

About 6 months ago two of my best friends left for 2 weeks for Vacation. While they were gone i had a key to their apartment and was going to check on their cat jiji, i kept joking with them that somehow i’d prank their apartment while they were gone but couldn’t figure out a great idea, so i decided to kind of steal one from a friend. We have a running joke with life is life, an epic music video and song and i used a photo of myself standing in an epic pose and put the lyrics “life is life” in the background. My original plan was to print one of these and just hide it somewhere in their apartment, but when i was printing through target online, i realized i got 10 free prints for signing up. That changed my prank to hiding 10 of the same photo of myself around their apartment. When i picked up the prints on the day my friends were returning, i realized it would be a lot funnier if i did a set of three, each with me holding the previous photo in it.

Hit the jump for the 2 other images and 1 that didn’t make the set but i thought was pretty epic none the less.

Why contacts.

As a good friend at work explained by a simple drawing, this is what i look like with and without glasses. As you can see my hair gets longer, i grow chest hair and everything sparkles.

I went rollerblading today after work to get some exercise. Managed to find a shortcut route to target. Also managed to find a shortcut to the ground and a scraped up arm. Hit the jump if you are interested in the damage. Also is it bad that the first thing when i finally got home was to take a photo?

Logo Design to Existentialism (that’s right, i spelled it correctly on the first try)

Today I read an article on psdtuts.com on how to create a logo for whatever reason, the one in the article being a series of how to books all starting with the phrase  “how to be a rockstar…” and then whatever the subject was. The article brought you through the whole creative process around creating a logo, everything from broad ideas like what do you want to portray with your logo to say about yourself to specifics whether it would be better to go with a logo that is just text or one with a symbol and how to even choose a name.

The original intent of looking at this site was to help inspire and guide me in making a logo for “iamsonoflars” or even just “son of lars” but the more i thought i realize this might also answer questions i’ve been having on how to define my life… and this just brings up all sorts of memorys of existentialism. To try and be brief i’ve always owned cheap clothes and often worn many free t-shirts because i didn’t want to care about how people judge me and let them define who i am by trying to dress in society’s standards, but now i’m realizing maybe i can still not be defined by society how i’m currently portraying myself isn’t the way i want to define myself. I want to stay true to me but somehow i also want to change and to figure out those changes i almost need to figure out my identity and create a sort of self branding for my everyday life.

Dye

So i’ve been conisdering dying my hair for a couple months now and a couple weeks ago i gave it an attempt. There are several lessons i learned from this “attempt”; from don’t buy RAW color hair dye because it won’t last to make sure everything is cleared off the sink cause somehow dye will go everywhere. Ok, so those plus don’t take a shower to wash the dye out because it will dye all the skin that it touches on it’s way to the drain were pretty much all the lessons i learned.

So after just a couple weeks my hair is back to it’s normal color, and i guess i shouldn’t have tried dying dark brown hair black just on it’s own so that’s why i’m giving it another shot, but this time something that will hopefully look unnatural and well different while i’m still young.

My plan originally was to attempt black hair with red streaks/ highlights but i’m not really sure how that will look and i’ve trying to do some research into things people have done already. Apparently google just likes to show off photos of emo kids (and yes i realize i might look like one) with all similar colors. I’m looking for more unique hair dying techniques.

Hit the jump to see some images i found with at least something i like in each of them.

I miss the snow

Chris Brennan found this sweet snow-auron, man i wish i did something constructive in the snow now that i live in no snow ville. Hindsight is 20/20.
