I found the greatest website ever. I'm going to spend a lot of time on this site. It's great for fashion bloggers, fashionestas and anyone who is obsessed about Fashion. This is what I was able to do in a short time. I use to do this manually before I knew a site like this existed. Now they do most of the work for me. I just have to type in keywords and everything is at my disposal. I love it!! love it!!! More things for me to do to avoid working. Don't worry I plan on finding some way of getting income. I'm down with the Freegan movement, but I don't know if it will be a permanent lifestyle choice. I'm not big on consuming but not all capitalism is bad. Some can be pretty healthy. I just want a balance where I'm not overworked, not bringing in enough money and spending all that I have. Learning to conserve will help to preserve. Enough preaching and to my Fashion layouts.
Yesterday while talking to a friend, I found my old poetry on Poetry.com and decided to post them on one of my many websites. I have over 60 poems, all written around 2003 (My most crazy year). You can check out my poems on Illusion Graphics. I will make sure to update and post every single one of them.
I will also be using this new blog to post my fashion layouts because I'm mad about fashion. I will try not to blog on the site and just post content because I may one day run out of things to say.
Yesterday I was talking about how Hollywood destroys everything it touches. Looks like Hollywood is ready to destroy the internet too. The last thing I need is more Will Ferrell movies. I'm going to poke my eyes out.

| Two years after the
arrival of Lonelygirl15, the groundbreaking YouTube serial that turned
out to be the work of wannabe filmmakers and not a teenage girl, web
video has become the hot new medium in Hollywood. Ex-Disney chief
Michael Eisner’s new-media production company has created two Web-based
video series; movie producer Judd Apatow (The 40 Year Old Virgin,
Knocked Up) has joined Will Ferrell on the comedy video website
FunnyorDie.com; producers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz created the
web series “quarterlife” only to see it die on network TV; and “Gemini
Division,” a science fiction serial starring Rosario Dawson and
produced by former Sony Pictures co-chief Jeff Sagansky, aims to top
them all when it launches in August by becoming the first Web series to
feature a Hollywood star. While the YouTube explosion is fueled by amateurs, Hollywood wants to cash in. And with television increasingly unable to reach the core 18-34 demographic , marketers are eager for web video to deliver new advertising opportunities and new customers. Successful television writer/producers, some of whom pull in millions of dollars per year, are talking to VCs about launching Web startups in a bid for independence from the network behemoths. Yet no one really knows how this business is supposed to work. What kind of stories should you tell? Should you tell them in 90 seconds or 20 minutes? Should you build a destination site or syndicate across the Net? And most importantly, how are you supposed to make money on this stuff? Whether you’re in the entertainment industry, a marketer, or just interested in hearing the predictions of these experienced Hollywood and Silicon Valley pros, you won’t want to miss this discussion, moderated by Frank Rose of WIRED magazine. The panel will look at key issues from venture funding and product integration to business models, creative challenges, and opportunities. Ultimately, they will weigh in on what they believe will work and what should be left on the virtual cutting room floor. | ||
Here is the completed logo for my business.
Dd.i.pb
I'm excited because I just import new fonts into my Microsoft windows application. I also downloaded a font maker and I'm going to learn how to create my own font (which is actually hard). I changed my business plan and the name of my company from Trinity Films to D.I.P. I will make the name public when I start producing projects. I have big plans for D.I.P.
*Clothing line
*Digital films
*Movies and T.v. Productions
*Commercial businesses
Here are a few samples of the fonts I am looking at for my Branding.

La laa lala wait till I get my money right
La laa lala then u cant tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing.
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing.
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing.
My problem with reality shows are they are not reality. They are scripted. Is reality so boring that you have to lie about it? I was looking through some craigslist posts and it pissed me off that people were looking for actors for reality shows. One would think that you would need people who don't lie as a profession for reality. For a while I was getting into the whole reality bullshit, but now it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Everything that Hollywood touches, turns to shit. I'm sorry but Hollywood sucks. I can't for the life of me decide why I want to be a filmmaker, Except to change all the bullshit. Right now being a filmmaker only leads to working there and being around boring ass talentless people and I'm not talking about the actors. I am talking about the producers. Let's face it, the producers that Hollywood is spitting out right now are taking Hollywood down.
In a few years, Hollywood is going to be done with and the new underground movement will be everyone producing their own shit because they are tired of the shit Hollywood is putting out there. I'm not mad enough yet, but when I get completely fed up that is when my ideas become great. I haven't watched t.v. in a long time and let me tell you, I've never felt better. The only channel I go to if I feel the need to watch t.v. is TLC. I watch "what not to wear" and Jon & Kate plus 8" and I'm done for the day. For a person who used to be addicted to television. I can't tell you what has been going on in LaLa Land for the past several months.
I don't have to worry about paying rent right now and if I have anything to say about it, I won't have to worry about paying rent for more time to come. I'm taking over this shit. I plan on spending the next few months of 2008, producing ideas, cultivating them and birthing them. If 2009, I don't succeed in something...I'm a fucking loser. There is no way in hell I'm going to keep putting that shit that Hollywood is force feeding us into my mind anymore. I'm going to write my own reality show ideas, pitch them, produce and maybe direct them. I am going to write my own t.v. shows, movies...I'm taking over this shit. I've been preparing myself in 2008. I'm getting crew together and starting an under ground movement soon. I'm going to have a clothing line, supporting my business idea among other things. I'm ready to play in the big boy world, while wearing a short ass mini skirt. If anyone is smart enough to touch my ass, they're getting knocked the fuck out. It's more than business, it's personal.
So I'm trying to get into the graphic design indie underground scene. My brother is working with his friend on a company called Golden Monkey Crew. Today I was getting advice from the CEO of the company. If in the future, they need more designers, they are going to consider me. The guy likes my design concepts and think when I add my own flavor, they can do real good on the scene. I'm excited and will continue focusing on designing. I'm going to start researching indie designers, and he gave me a few names, I should look into. I'm going to also try to get more into Graffiti art. I did some back in school, but I will see what I can do. More to come...
Every since I decided to stop working for free, I've had a lot of time on my hands. I've spent this whole week sending out resumes and cover letters to different places. I hope I hear from some of them soon.
I agreed to be in Clarissa's music video tomorrow. I can't wait to see how that turns out. I'm not a night person, but I will try my best to have fun. I also will be helping Simone with one of the film she is working in as a crew person. So as I look for a job that suits me (hopefully in T.V. or Film Production), I will be doing things I want to do. I am working on about 50 graphic designs right now. I am doing vintage and novelty t-shirts (including the older designs), which doesn't require much because I am stealing already created images.
The next step is to find wholesale t-shirt and discounts stores. My sister is giving me a moving easel, which will be great for designing and maybe silk screening. I still have my silk screening tools. I just need to buy some paint to try it out. So for the ending of this year, I will be trying to produce a few t-shirts. I also have to find locate market places to sell my ware. So less time for non paying jobs expect if they are created by me.
I hope by next year, I will be taking the steps to have a t-shirt store somewhere.
