So tired

Getting back into the swing of waking up and going to work everyday is kinda of a buzz kill. Not because I'm lazy and don't like working, but because it pulls me away from being able to work on shirt design and thing related to the shirt and stuff. Been working 10 plus hr days, I like the idea that I'll have money in my pocket again, but it'd be nice if I was making the money on my own terms....
But anyways, two things that I've noticed in the last two days. One were in the world has Marilyn Mason been? I remember being in high school and MTV couldn't seem to stop riding his cock. I can't say I've heard anything about him that I can remember in the last 2 yrs, expect for when Celebrity Divorces was on Tv last night. Which made me do a little research and see what the man had been up to. After doing a little bit of reading on wik I found out that he did actually come out w/ an album last year, and has also be star/directed a few movies over the years. This lead me to looking at photo, and made me remember the interested that I had in him. The visual and the ideas that he came up w/ were pretty rad and interesting. Like this one
I really like visuals like this, they're simple and yet strong. And that's kid of the way I like to draw and make my art, or that's at least the feeling I'm trying to get across w/ what I do.

The other thing that I noticed was the big change that has come in fixed gear trick riding. And unlike alot of people I can't say that I'm so excited about it. I'm a very visual person and from that point alone things have changed so much. The bike went from being sleek and trim, to big and bulky. Tricks seemed seamless to me before, but now when I watch a video every thing just seems chunky. Here's of video of Torey Thornton in Council of Doom

Yeah the tricks are bigger, and people can take more risk. But where did the fixed gear go. It reminds me alot of bmx. And I love bmx riding. I can get into these new videos because it does take skill to do these trick, but something is messing to me that was there in the early days. And what happen to Keo? The last thing that I can find on him was from back in June of last year, and he was such a big name in the trick community...
