Rick Mereki's EAT

Three guys took 44 days to go around the world and hit eleven countries by taking eighteen flights and exceeding thirty-eight thousand miles. "All to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films....."
I don't know a single person who wouldn't want to travel and EAT.LEARN.MOVE. But especially EAT. New and beautiful flavors. I need this.  

If that didn't make you want to eat Right Now... I don't know what wrong with you. ㋡

 your life is your life

don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in YOU.

-- Charles Bukowski

☝That's personal style. Not to be duplicated. #BOi☝

There's something about a grey/red combo over something white. It's pleasantly fashionable, because of the pop of perfect color with two neutrals.

Noble Tonic No.1 Maple Syrup

Bourbon infused maple syrup sounds damn tasty. Noble’s Tonic No.1 does it. “To create the Bourbon syrup (a.k.a. Noble Tonic 01), a dash of raw Tuthilltown bourbon is added before the syrup is aged in oak barrels. Smooth and creamy tasting, it’s a grown-up take on maple. Tahitian vanilla beans and apple-scented Egyptian chamomile blossoms are added to the Vanilla syrup (a.k.a. Noble Tonic 02), resulting in a delicately balanced, fruity-floral tasting sweetener.” About $50 a bottle. « I'mma need that. ㋡ frank ocean ✖ thinking about you

Good movie. Great scene. ㋡

Best Lens for the Midnight Marauder

With a maximum aperture of f/0.95, the NOKTOR HyperPrime is the fastest lens designed for Micro Four Thirds and E-mount cameras. At open aperture, the lens renders pictures and video with extreme shallow depth of field for a dreamy and unique aesthetic. In low-light photography and cinematography, the lens exceeds the perception of the human eye. From nightscapes to campfires, now you can shoot in situations that are often impossible to capture with a normal lens. Price tag sits just over a stack.

The worn leather band is the best part about  this timeless  time piece. Freshest Rolex I've ever seen. Typically not a fan. ㋡miguel - vixen

Skateboard ⚡ Shades

Big fan of SHWOOD for two reasons… Quality organic product and Unique design.

Not impressed by the first half of this video, but when the second half begins, I understand it. The skateboard shades are not for a skateboarder… that’s merely the heart of the merchandise. Its awesome how they “recycle” a relative item to hand make these shades. 

Gotta luh dat…㋡

The "ecology" of love

The Ecology of Love… From the title, to the use of excessive cameras, to the poor accents, and SHORT lived story; this short film tried too hard and came up short on its meaning.

The phrase “ecology of love” isn’t artistic enough to take away from its miss use. Where was the love? In the 18 minutes, I never saw love. I witnessed the ecology of people… but “The Ecology of People” could be used to describe any movie. Therefore further pushing the point that the content of this short film was all over the place and nowhere. I saw a cause with little result, and then a reflection. I feel the reflection made the immature result even less fulfilling and less to think about.

Generally I’m a supporter of a large amount of Pharrell projects, but I wouldn’t standup next to this one. Maybe that’s why it was never released. All I can presume is, Dania Ramirez must have pushed for it’s leaking, because she was undoubtedly the greatest thing about this short. 

I did actually appreciate the game Andre put on Alila. The shadeless lamps, the music, the use of the thrift store. Very Cool! And s/o to Matthew Jensen. He did an awesome job directing.
