Week 8

On chapter 5 of Steal Like an Artist, the author just states the importance of having many hobbies or projects to bounce in between them, and the importance of not doing anything, the author says he get most of his genius ideas when he is completely bored and to not discard our real passion because our happiness comes from that passion or hobby.  
The author Austin Kleon says “Creative people need time to just sit around and do nothing.” I'm a tend to be busy person, I don't really like to do nothing. I usually take the time to just focus on me, an example would be working out to stay fit and healthy and going out with friends to get a couple of drinks, but there are some days where I absolutely do nothing, usually I'm really tired so i just sleep and play video games.
The author also says that it’s very important to have a hobby, and I have a couple. For starters I love to do strength training in order to stay physically healthy, I love the pump i get from lifting weights and I plan on getting back on MMA if not Boxing. I also love to write poetry, draw, or paint as you seen in my last post. And I also love cars so I try and work on my car when ever i get time, which i have a couple of things i want to do with it. For starters i want to put some after market headers to reduce pressure and make some horse power and torque. Lastly I enjoy playing video games like Halo, Street Fighter, and Need For Speed; I usually leave video games for last; they are not my priorities like they used too be, but like i said i usually only play when i don't feel like doing much. Also I want pick up a new hobby, I want to learn how to play a guitar.

    


 The reason I chose this movies and show posters is because well its just a teaser, you wouldn't know what its gonna be about till later on, for example i remember seeing the D'jango unchained and Battle: Los angeles posters at the theaters. I didn't know what it was about till i saw the trailers later on. They don't give you any titles in any teaser.

Week 12

On chapter 8 of  Steal like an artist,  Austin Kleon states that we should live our ordinary and boring life, that going out, hooking up and getting high is over rated. He also states that we should learn about how to hold and save money, and to have a day job in order to make a little money. Also to mark things out in life for example get a calendar for future events and a logbook to keep us on track on what we worked on. And lastly he says that we should marry carefully, to find someone who is willing to put up with us and hold us down. Like i said before Kleon said that we should have a routine. My routine consist of going to school and work on school work before i head to work. I usually head to work after school, but after work I tend to go to the gym for 2 hours. afterwards I go home sleep, but on my days off is where i try to do some art or my hobbies that i have. I tend to use the calendar on my phone to stay on top of thinks like appointments, events and projects. ...

Week 11

On chapter 8 of Steal like an artist, Austin Kleon states that we should make friends and ignore the enemies, to keep our heads up and ignore the haters. That we should write fan letters to our heroes even if they don't reply, and to always keep the compliment of the people if we get e–mails from them, and deleting the nasty ones. On page 102, the author suggests that we follow people who are way smarter than us. Ironically I been doing that for the past couple of years. I have 2 friends who I consider successful hustlers; they both own business and seem to be doing great. One of them is Jilani, he owns a used car dealer ship and also owns a couple of houses that he uses to rent out. His favorite phrase is "  scared money makes no money." My other friend owns a video game store named WE PLAY GAMES , his name is Victor and he always tells me to never burn bridges even if we don't like them, because we never know when we might need their connections. This examples don...
