Music: Matthew Vorzimer

Friday night, I was out with my bestfriend and on 14th st platform we sat and listened to a percussionist, Matt Vorzimer. Using bass, cymbals, sneer and a soundboard he produced magic. Soundboard emitting samples of Aaliyah, amongst other hiphop/rap pop. He was on point, he was amazing. If I had the $5 bucks I would've bought his mixtape :( but I'm more than sure I'll come across him much more. After I pulled his name out of my BB notes sidebar:(if I were to show you my Blackberry notes, I'll be showing you big pieces of my life. I have names, numbers, lyrics, favorite songs/movies, happy memories, bad memories, sad memories, OH and my grocery list lol) So yeah I remembered I saved his name in my phone and when I googled him, I found this piece among some others. Mind you, I watched three of his videos and got about 20 different vibes/genres/feels whatever you want to call it. It just amazed me so much more to see the complexity of his skill.

Inspiration

Everyday I wake up there's something else I want to do with my life. There's another direction I envision myself going in. There's another skill, another craft, another dream, another admiration, another chance, another oppurtunity. Today, it happened to be cutting hair. As I was getting my hair cut, I just kept thinking... I can do this, I can perfect this craft. So i've decided either im gonna legit go to barber school or grab a pair of clippers and start experimenting... on someone else' head of course [lol] its just that i feel like i have such an eye not solely for hair but just the complete look. when im styling someone, i can immediately began to draw these images and illustrations in my head of how id want their hair to look. i want to be to these fresh canvas' (heads of hair) with a set of scissors and clippers, as what charlie le mindu is to wigs. this photo below is a snap from christopher shannon's aw 2010 lookbook. it was one image that clearly stood out in my mind of the type of hair artist im going to be. very eclectic, fresh, innovative designs. im going to bring assymetrical, nonsensible, extroverted designs/styles/characteristics with hair.



no im not aspiring to be a barber. i dont have one path to choose in life, i want it all. for me committing to one sole straight forward path would be like having seven arms and using them all to hold the steering wheel... it just doesnt make sense. i wake up to new ideas, new ambitions, constant constant surprises..

Life: This Is Killing Me...

i really feel like im sean from slc punk trying to get a job sometimes. i go in looking the part, i say what they want to hear, i conform to their brand.. isnt that enough. just me doing that really cant get me the job? geezus.

☠☠☠☠☠

everyday there's something new i want to do with my style [hair / fashion / concept / etc] and usually i do it. so anyways, i've been debating dermals in my chest two assymetrical right next to eachother. but i've seen so many people's reject. ☹ im afraid, not of the pain, but of defacing my chest. i dont want to risk getting those nasty red irritated circles on my chest. gaaash. so i think i may leave that idea alone. lol, suggestionsss?

i'm pretty sure we already gave the summer some.
