Can wallpaper be cool?

24 Jul

I never thought it could be. Then I stumbled onto the website of Wook Kim, an Korean-born, American-raised artist. He has some mad skills. His designs are fresh. His concepts are unique. And his colors are amazing. I really love the koi fish wallpaper print, but it looks like it’s discontinued. Too bad!

A mentor of mine, Design Army’s Pum Lefebure emailed me these great words to live by. Written by the great late Paul Arden, these words are so incredibly appropriate now more than ever. So if you’re feeling down because you got laid off, your good pals got laid off, or you’re working at a shop that you feel is sucking the soul out of you, I suggest you print these words out, memorize them and live them.

Gainesville, Virginia Road Expansions

20 Jul

If you live in Gainesville, VA, then you’ve probably spent a great deal of your life stuck in traffic. This wide-open space that borders horse country has turned into a DC metro suburb in the blink of an eye and its residents have had to pay the price.

After years of life in the slow lane, Gainesville, Virginia is beginning to show signs of what will one day be a major town center.

Check out this image of what Linton Hall Road, John Marshall Hwy aka Route 55 and Route 29 will look like soon.

Check out what other transportation projects are happening in and around Gainesville, Virginia. For those visitors not from Gainesville, I am sure this seems really lame. But as a Gainesville resident for nearly 8 years, the transformation that is coming is awesome.

From a 650-pound virgin to role model

David Smith, the 650-pound virgin

David Smith, the 650-pound virgin David Smith, the role model

Last night, I watched TLC’s “650-pound Virgin” story on David Smith, a man with a common name with a not-so-common problem. He was a morbidly obese man who almost ate himself to death. At his peak, he weighed a whopping 650 pounds.

As many of us struggle with our weights–I have yet to lose my pregnancy weight, David Smith is someone we can all relate to. He used to be someone who was unhappy with his body. Someone who was out of shape. Someone who had given up.

What makes his story so remarkable and inspirational is the difficult choice he made. After his doctor told him he only had several years to live, he realized he had 3 choices:

1-Get surgery. But there’s a chance he could die.

2-Kill himself by burning himself alive. This way there would be no evidence he ever lived and no one could make fun of him and his weight after his death.

3-Lose the weight.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. You guessed it, he chose Option 3. He wrote a letter to news reporter, Chris Powell and asked for help. Chris Powell did more than just respond, he became the support and motivation that David Smith needed to turn his life around and get the weight down and off. And here is where this massive man who resembled a blob transformed into well, a role model.

Their friendship didn’t stop after David lost the weight. David and Chris became best friends, room mates and now they have partnered together and created Reshape The Nation. Check out the Reshape The Nation channel on YouTube. They make a video every day to motivate you.

When I was a kid, I remember playing kickball in the neighborhood and when Thriller would come on the radio, I would crank it up. Then all the kids would dance in the cul-de-sac. Those were good times.
