The intimate events of the past week have been pretty profound for my mind, and has left me with an intellectual erection lasting much more than four hours, and I am in no hurry to seek medical attention. Though I do feel that I've been blessed with a keen level of insight, I've never proclaimed to possess all of life's answers, but more of an ability to observe and ask the right questions, rather than any unnecessary accreditation. Our society is constructed of an entangled structure of ladders that each of us are trying to climb to the top of; either over, around, or pulling down those in our way. I on the other hand see more benefit in unifying these unstable steps to build a sturdy stairway that we can all share. The Re-Beats isn't a fashion style, but a lifestyle, and the aim is to connect all those who share this life, while respecting its various styles. That being said, I love to hear what others are doing to reshape the ideas of purpose, and hope to plug you into something specific, or help you inspire your own ideas under the same principals.
• Check out the http://belovebus.com/. Several young ladies have taken a neat approach to spreading the message for breast cancer awareness, simply by doing what they desire to do anyways. Comprised of a couple of pro surfers, a musician, and a camera they set out to travel in a creatively painted bus up and down the Australian coast documenting their experiences. Very cool. Watch their videos on the website or youtube, and show some love to save the boobies.
• One of my dear friends Jon Fritzler, helped found AMP- the Aloha Music Project which makes efforts to connect musicians and artists alike as well as coordinating events to expose their collective talents. With big plans currently located around the university scene in Hawaii, I have no doubt that Jon's and the Aloha spirit will spread far beyond the islands to take the collective connected arts to a new level, while showcasing more than individual talents. Check out their facebook group! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122811525613&ref=ts
• I also wanted to send another warm shout out to Josh Riebock, and his book my Generation. He has been a constant source of encouragement in my own field of writing, and that which I write about (life), even amidst my own struggles. Great guy, great writer, great friend. This cat is all encompassing with websites, blogs, podcasts, social networking sites, and everything in between. Check him out. http://www.joshriebock.com
Please continue to send me your stories, input, thoughts, or just a friendly hello. All is welcome for the advancement of the Re-Beats project, and any other purposeful projects out there, or we can stick to the latter theory of viciously trying to climb individual ladders alone. Thanks.
