Day 9

Happy Earth Day.




Yesterday, was two words, Marathon Monday. My first one ever, and it was sick. People running, people partying, everyone having a good day, and gnarlyiest of all NO CLASSES. Next year, maybe I'll be running in in myself but we will have to see with that option. But here are a few pics from the sunny marathon monday:



Hope everyone else enjoyed their Patriot's Day. In honor of earth day, BE GREEN-

Day 5,6,7

Another weekend has widdled itself away, although tomorrow is a Boston holiday with no school for the annual and prestigious Boston Marathon,I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of Lance or Katie Holmes as they are both competing. Otherwise the day should go by pretty fast with all of the festivities and chaos bound to happen.
Unfortunately for last night at the Three 6 mafia concert the sound continually died sporadically which led to them being bummed and me being bummed. Until next year. Besides that the past few days have flown by, giving me little time to blog up. But other than that the sun has been shining and life has been easy, letting the good times roll. Until next time, be easy.

Day 4

Day 4 day 4,
Well, written on the morning of day 5, but same difference. Basically because not that much is new on my part. No new designs.

But there were some things that really pumped me up, first was the new Burton snowboards for next season, as the worked not only with artist Futura, but also with Playboy for a whole line of boards, and according to Highsnobiety, there will also be girls on other gear besides boards. Which, although the season has come to an end, with last weekend being the final outing, next season can only come soon enough.

On the movie front, here are a few previews of some flicks that I can't wait for:
first is the Strangers, it kind of seems like your basic Michael Myers meets Saw almost which is fine by me.

But just that whole sequence with Liv Tyler standing in the kitchen and the masked person walking and and it keeping a steady shot for an extended period of time just gives me shivers.

Also we have Mister Lonely. The concept is unique, a whole bunch of characters who act to be famous people. Kind of awkward, just like me so it got me interested


And we will keep the previews to 3 because 3 of anything is quite exciting. This final movie, Shotgun Stories, just looks action packed with a tight storyline, with some superb acting by Michael Shannon, it kind of reminds me slightly of a No Country for Old men. But check out the trailer:


That's all I got for you know, so catch you on the flip side,

Day 3

Well well well,
Day 3 and I'm still getting a post up everyday haha, just got to keep it up. Where to start... First off I want to put up a moment of silence for the series finally of Rob and Big that played yesterday, one of the best shows in my lifetime if you ask me, just made you want to have fun with whatever you did, and have an awesome best friend haha. But hopefully everyone got to see that or if not an episode of it, because you missed out if you didn't. And in there respect I've got to put up a little link for a video of them, be sure to check it out.

Alright now, I said I would post up from the Johnny Cupcakes speech yesterday. So here we go.

The name and Logo
and below we have Johnny himself with a Cupcake:

Just want to say thanks, for the inspiration and advise, it was really appreciated. Look for what he has coming out in the next little bit, it sounds awesome!

Now for today, I had to head over to Harvard to do a little research thingy, so I was there during the middle of the schoolweek as students were out and about, which was a goal of mine and here are a few pics i snapped while not trying to pretend to be a student there wearing my green bandanna and getting plenty of looks, like I do everyday I wear one.

Harvard Yard

They even get some classes taught outside,
when it's sunny.

So, I finally started up on a new shirt design today, and I've got some people interested already, once, it's finished I'll post it up to maybe get some comments off of it. But if you live in Boston, especially out in Allston, this is what you're looking for. After this one hopefully we can get some more out for the summer when the livin's e-z. But for now, keep it real.

Day 2

Unfortunately I'm feeling pretty worn down tonight, I was up late and got a few hours of sleep last night. But today was pretty sick, Johnny Cupcakes came and had a nice presentation on campus today and it was pretty inspirational, and I've got a lot of respect for him doing it all on his own, but with the ideas he's got it was only right he's doing as well as he is. He made some pretty good points in his speech, Go 110% if it's something you want to do. I'll add some more to this tomorrow with a few pictures I snapped, but until then check his site: Johnny Cupcakes.

keep it real- G

Day 1

Well there is a first time for everything. I've been sitting at my computer a lot lately and for the most part I've been pretty unsuccessful at doing actual schoolwork, or clothing designing. What I have been doing is getting into several different blogs, checking them daily, and today I thought about it for most of the day, finally created my own. So, it's 12 am now and I've done it. Me on a blog. So sorry for the spelling errors and grammatical inconveniences, I know there may be a few. Although I like creative writing, my grammar and spelling are absolutely terrible. Even with years and years of English, and it being my only language that I speak, and write (although thanks to college I have to complete 2 semesters of one before I can graduate) it's still terrible, even with the Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, calendar residing on my cluttered desk (and I tear off a page daily, it's not gaining dust) I still have no skills in the area. So, I'll take whatever advice anyone has for me because it is always useful.

Just cause this is my first bloggy blogging experience here is a quick synopsis on me. I'm in my second year at college at Boston University, I just got here this past fall transferring in. I'm majoring in Film, almost thought of switching to a Graphic Design major, but after looking into it, it would have meant another year of school and a pretty tedious schedule, not what I'm looking for knowing that I only have 2 years left. I co-own a clothing company, which is how I got into blogs, looking at underground and growing labels, and blogs off of certain sites, like www.highsnobiety.com which I check on a regular basis now, looking at the new collaborations and lines coming out, real gnarly site, check that business if you got time. But a friend and I wanted to start up our own line, and since high school have semi gotten into graphics, were semi-skilled, and our first stuff is real basic, but hopefully we can get our name out there, shirt-by-shirt, but our name is Exhibit A Clothing Company, our website is in the process of being made, thanks to school and other affairs that kids our age are dealing with. Thinking about it now I should be working on that affair besides making up this blog, but anyways maybe this will help get the name out there. When the sites up it will be at www.exaclothing.com and from there you can get to the current site up through my .mac account. I'd love to hear opinions and that action on anything we have up, or ideas for the future, we're a two man company and help from the people who will wear our shirts are what we'd like most. A for the people by the people objective, because if we don't like our designs we won't print them number one, but if we can change things and make things better for you guys, hit us up and let us know. Unfortunately it's not a link you have to copy paste the .mac site and for that matter I'll put it right here: http://web.mac.com/toomeyg/iWeb/EXHIBIT%20A%20Clothing%20Company/Home.html
and maybe that works better.

I'm trying to think of what else for now haha.
I enjoy movies, any kind I'll watch your chick flick, to horror movie and years don't matter a movies a movie. I need a new camera and maybe when I get a job with a little money, if it's not going towards the company I'll invest on my own and post personal projects up here. But I'll finally be taking a production class next year so that will help to. But I'll probably also put up personal reviews or feelings on movies which I would be sweet to have objections and others opinions on what I'm thinking, cause in no way am I going to be right, film major or not, and I'm always down for other's thoughts, so let me know. Alright well for now I'm out, it's been a bit of writing which means you have to read all this bologna and I hope you do, and come back, cause call me a rookie and I'll hopefully figure those ins and outs and make this enjoyable for everyone. Take it easy-
