"Where Dreams Come True"
Yesterday, my co-workers (Matthew and Tricia) and I visited the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. Boyyy, that was quite an experience! Walking around the studios made me feel some type of way. Seeing the different stage areas, and also the Animation rooms really got me the "feels." Also walking around the "Legends Plaza" was an extraordinary experience.
Lesson from this whole visit; I became "inspired." As Walt Disney himself said, "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing — that it was all started by a mouse."
It was truly humbling that I'am privileged to have access to a magical and also an iconic place like the Walt Disney Studios. I can't wait on what's ahead of this incredible journey of mine called "life."

How Gildan Became the Biggest Name in Streetwear
in Fashion, Miscellaneous
Much in the same way that a painter or visual artist looks at a blank canvas and can imagine a multitude of different possibilities, the same can be said in a fashion context for the plain, white T-shirt, which has launched thousands of brands and subsequently bankrupted hundreds more.
While there’s no tried-and-true method for emerging from nothing and becoming something, most people agree that you have to start fresh. Although a brand like Mitchell & Ness was catapulted onto the national stage by making something old, new again, that is the exception and not the rule.
For a certain generation, this blank T-shirt was of the Hanes variety and probably reminds you of your father or uncle who would wear them so often that the cotton ended up feeling like silk and the area around the armpits turned the color of Mountain Dew.
But in a contemporary context, the reigning champion is Gildan.

The Chamandy’s answer was T-shirts and sweatshirts, which continue to be staples that could just as easily be utilized by a long-haul truck driver as it could be by a person looking to build a streetwear brand.
"We knew that by starting from scratch we could make a better product for less,” Greg told Forbes.“We didn’t have the built-in disadvantages of an entrenched company. We don’t try to be all things to all people. We wanted to only produce where we knew we could be the low-cost producer."

OH WHAT A WEEKEND!
My squahhh and I decided to go on our very first trip for this year (2018) to the beautiful state of Arizona and Nevada. We came there specifically to snowboard in Mt. Humpreys, Arizona Snowball. That was probably one of the most coolest thing I've ever done in my life so far!
Overall, it was an amazing trip w/ the homies and my best friend's family.
Don't ever forget to keep enjoyin' this journey that we call life.

FOLLOW YOUR INNER VOICE
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

Oh boy! What a year!
Definitely a year that I will never forget. There was a lot of things that happened this year that for sure tested on how strong of a mindset I have. But in the end, I’m content, because that’s the only thing you can do is move on from it and also enjoy the learning process.
See, we don’t have a thousand years to live here on this planet, so just keep enjoying this journey that we call “life.”
Always remember to make it a habit to tell people, “thank you.” To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you will soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you will find that you have more of it.
HAPPY NYE EVERYONE!
Love y’all,

I mean I love the winter and all, but here in California when you get hit with that cold breeze you're automatically will get sick. WHICH SUCKS! So a little warmer weather would be nice, but N O T too hot, because I don't like that either.
THANKS! (:
