Vitalire X Relay for life

My good friends and fellow graduates, Craig and Conner over at Vitalire had asked me to do this special project for the "Relay For Life" here at Arlington High School. The goal was to help donate money for the American Cancer Society. This was a special project to me because I have family members that either have suffered and diagnosed with cancer. A very simple and bold design and to commemorate breast cancer awareness as well. A very successful event which raised about $227,603.49. Its moving to know that a group of people fighting for a cause can really impact the world around you. There are still some "Save Lives" tee's available but act now the shirts are limited and still all proceeds from the available tee's will be going to the American Cancer Society. Be sure to hit them up for a size and tell them I sent ya! Lets make a difference people!

Talk about WAY BACK THEN! I found this old gif for a preview of Jeepney's old Spring or Summer line??? Who knows. This was probably around my sophmore year. The shoot was fun, met a lot of people who share the same tastes backgrounds etc etc. I want to do some more modeling shoots for another clothing company this summer. Though I have no modeling or even intend to take modeling as a career, its just FUN!

LOL I think I was camera shy during this shoot too. I had no idea what to do haha

Homies

Five years ago I moved into a neighborhood called Magnolia. Coming from the other side of the bridge in Smokey Point. I majority of the time I grew up around white kids thus making me the minority. I wasn't really kept in touch with other colored kids like myself. Sure there were a few here and there at the old school I used to go to. But then moving to Magnolia I begin to meet kids of the same color and background. At first it was "Cool making colored friends" but time passes and shit changes. There was drama here and there. But in all reality going through that really brought the best and true people I've gotten to know whether it be negative or positive. Also it tested me as a person by bringing out what I can really handle and what I really am. So I guess I'm kind of glad that I went through some sort of bullshit. Like I said time passes and the whole "Making colored friends" dealy changed. Now the select few I have grown bonds with. I can really say these guys became some of the best friends I have. My best friends are White, Black, Canadian, Hella "Kahzin Mangoes" Mixed etc etc. Some good times with these mowfuggas. From over excessive 4 lokos and the instant hate for fruity flavored juices the next day, running from guard dogs trying to get a good skate spot and to even road tripping up north and eating out at a King Buffet. I can go on with memories even boring sounding ones but to us was just right.


While we're all growing up everyone is bound to go about on their own path. A few of us have left already and this neighborhood is gonna be empty. No more kids walking around aimlessly at night, no more cops being called in for kids banging on porta-potty's and chilling in the middle of the street. I know for a fact in the future we are going to be reunited, nothing is gonna change between all of us. Still the same old group that laughs at the things that are not even appropriate to laugh at. Jokes about each others race and randomly getting into wrestling matches. But as for now here are my friends...
