(Opening night of “Day Job?” the Photo Exhibition)
Been lackluster with the updates thanks to spending all my time on my most recent project, “Day Job?” the Photo Exhibition… yeh I don’t know why I wrote it exactly as so… but I did… complete with the question mark and the addition of a lowercase “the”. Overall I’m happy I did it… it would be nice to take it elsewhere, with each particular city having a strong focus on its local creatives (which was a partial goal of this in Hong Kong).

Most Japanese eat roasted seaweed which negates this positive gut bacteria, but nevertheless it still exists in the current generation.

A good read for the emos out there haha.

#18. ***The NFL Draft
I like reading up on combine training and some of the freaks that enter each year’s draft (more so on combine training). But as the article suggests, objective measures such as bench pressing and quick 40-yard dash times aren’t necessarily the makings of a future hall of famer and how lots of franchises put too much weight into these measures.

I’m still wondering how this will play out.
