Volkswagen - The Bark Side
My first project after a near year-long hiatus from the industry. Check out the many stars of our Superbowl teaser: the Volkswagen dogs, barking the Star Wars Imperial March theme. It’s good to be back, peoples…
Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes—a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.
And as I sat there, brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning—
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
-The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hmmm… could the next trip be a half ocean - half mountain adventure?
Refn talked about Drive being “feminine.” Being the king of indie ultra-violence, I thought this was laughable until I saw this clip.
What a great song…
Really excited to see “Drive” tonight! This should be a good one - I’ve previously watched all of Nicholas Winding Refn’s movies. Interested to see what he does at a more mainstream level.
My brother, my niece, and ICE CUBE. Damn, today was a good day.
Christmas comes early at 1235 Mountain Side Ct.
You can’t hear it, but that sound is me, frothing at the mouth.
“You look like you have gorilla feet.” -my little sister
Maybe sometime long ago in a galaxy far far away, my little sister once thought I was cool; maybe even stylish. Now, I guess I’m just that dark, hairy beast also known as the least evolved form of a human being. Nevertheless, I’m sticking by my guns. I LIKE these shoes. If you haven’t heard of them, they’re called Vibram Five Fingers.
Yes, I know they look strange. But they’re actually good for you according to a study on barefoot running by Harvard University. They help strengthen the natural muscles in your feet that grow weak from all of the padding and support of a normal shoe. I mean, I’m no doctor, but as soon as I started wearing these shoes, my lower back pain has pretty much disappeared. Crazy, right? No! Read on:

And as for the whole cool, stylish thing, well I have a little pet theory. Everything that’s cool is unhappy, and everything uncool is happy. And I’d like to be happy, even if it means that I look like I swing from trees and eat bananas all day. And by the way, I HAPPEN TO LIKE BANANAS.
Signing off. Before I make a bigger fool of myself.
