Kick-A-Cue

NEIM — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:01:05 +0000

I want to do something different for my birthday (May 3rd) so I decided to have a Kick-A-Cue (Kickball + Barbecue). I came up with the idea one night while Tweeting @KPisfabuleux when she was talking about Kickball. I remembered how fun it was to play kickball way back in elementary school. So here’s an ode to the 80′s! This event is totally free and we encourage you to bring your pets children or whomever, although there will be drinking on the premises so…

We will have the melodic sounds of DJ Relentless & the barbecue will be provided by Chef Jeff (little black box company).

TEAMS

If you are interested in playing, please email me ASAP @ info@muzzlewump.com There will be 2 teams of 10 people each.

Social Network Overload

NEIM — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:29:26 +0000

I’ve noticed recently that I have been tweeting & posting stuff to Facebook at an alarming rate. I’m working at the same time, but it is undoubtedly cutting into my production. I always say that everything should be done in moderation. Henceforth I have decided to limit my engagement on social networks to things worth reading or sharing. If I’m sleepy I will just think it not tweet it. If I am frustrated I will deal with it instead of updating my status.

I’d much rather my blog be the source to where I share things anyway. From now on I am conscientiously going to funnel people here through Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr/etc. Mostly it will be about what I am working on for me & my cohorts.

I told this girl the other day when we were talking for quite awhile on the phone that I was sharing to much of myself freely. Sharing my knowledge & philosophy seemingly with those who will listen. My exact words were, “I’m giving away free pussy.” In other words, I am systematically shutting myself off to those who don’t really know me. If you’d like to get to know me, then it will mostly have to be done the old-fashioned way. I’m in tune with the text & social applications from which people seem to mainly communicate these days, but I must stay in touch with my humanity. There’s nothing that can beat the presence of loved ones and those that love you. That’s what people are looking for inside of these glowing boxes anyway. I won’t lose sight of what is real.

Progress

NEIM — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 19:12:06 +0000

Learn something new everyday. Progress is to apply what you have learned. Learn nothing and you will stand still in time.

It astounds me sometimes how little people care to learn these days. Think about it. Going through the day with the same monotonous routine. Wake up… go to work… perform the same tasks… come home… eat & sleep. Next day wash, rinse and repeat. Sort of like cattle.

I implore you if you’re reading this short blurb to make it a habit to learn something new everyday and apply it to enriching your life.

White Summer

NEIM — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:57:32 +0000

Since I have neglected my own blog for about a year I have decided to release works from this year that some of you may not have seen.

Also, 2010 was the year of everybody else… I am primarily going to start focusing on my own projects. Hopefully you will support me in my endeavors. I shall neglect me no more. Sounds selfish, but I originally started doing this as my own hobby and became what it is. I am grateful for the business that let’s me continue to be me, but I must become who I am meant to be. That time is now. I am getting out of my own way.

Anywho… here’s one of my favorite pieces.

Harmonic 313

NEIM — Mon, 18 May 2009 08:10:02 +0000

Every now again I get to surf the internet like regular people. Usually I’m just looking for inspiration to come up with a new project. Sometimes I stumble upon a pretty cool website that has nothing to do with anything. Its sole purpose is to have fun. Not trying to sell you anything, or involve you in what they’re doing (ala NEIM BLOG)… they exist solely to entertain you…

I thought that’s what this site was… but they fooled me. Nonetheless it is a pretty cool site to deliver their artistic style of music. Enjoy… (Click Image)

Hello my fellow bloggers. I’ve been too busy to leave any really interesting stories on the blog and trust… I have a few. In the mean time I thought I’d share with you what has been keeping me busy.

Not sure how this will come out. I’m away from my PC & I’m trying out this feature where I can blog from my phone.

Let’s see. I have been extremely busy (as always) with work. taking on project after project. I’ve teamed up (unofficially) with 2 of the hottest designers in town. Be looking out for a real shake up in the Houston Design World. We plan on shuttin it down. I will put out some new work soon in an entry.

Had some ill-fate with my so-called friend that was sparked by me dismantling him in the “Athletic Challenge.” (Before the video) I think its just a clash of lifestyles. I’m too wild for the brother to be around. Most people can’t handle the unknown. He makes 1 of em. I won’t get too deep into it, but fcuk dude for the shyt he said. That’s it, I don’t have the time for that petty BS.

Look out for my new websites I’m about to put out. I’m developing a movie website & a graphic novel one. The movie website should be out within a couple of weeks. I will blast it.

Well I’m almost to my destination. I have to pick up some $$ from a client. I need an assistant! Anywho, Peace & Hair Grease.

New Projects

NEIM — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:56:04 +0000

I haven’t been blogging lately because I’ve been a little busy with projects. Here is a preview of some of my latest work.

The Tipping Point is a sneaker boutique that I made a website for.

I also designed a cover for a client for her scho

ol project. She needed something for the young girls that she’s working with to become entrepreneurs. She wanted to loosely derive it from the cover of this book called “Got it Goin On” and a previous design that I did.

This is one of the versions that I came up with that we eventually went with. She wanted colorful and feminine.

I also got the chance to do some advertising for Bangkok Chef. This was a slight change from the usual work I do, but I try to stay versatile. I’m

working on their website also that I hope to have up by this week.

Will Obama Be the New Face of America?

NEIM — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:03:21 +0000

Barack Obama. Barack… Obama. Is Obama the new face of America? Has America been so blinded that we do not see what we have become? I myself have been so ashamed of saying that I am an American that I usually just say I am a man. I have , or should I say had, aspirations of leaving this country in search of a place that I can one day have a family that is proud of where they come from.

My peers would say, “You can’t find a place as good as America. You’re gonna want to come home.” In the immortal words of my man Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Sen. Clay Davis of “The Wire”) “Shiiiiid.” There are plenty of places in this world that I can escape the threat of war or a “terrorists” reaction to an oppressive government. I can most assuredly find affordable… oh wait, FREE health care abroad that is just as good if not better than the one I could possibly go bankrupt here for paying outrages fees and deductibles. I know you’re not going to tell me that my dollar is worth more than a number of currencies across the globe. Would it be so bad to live in a society that stresses family and common wealth instead of the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. That was until I started listening. Listening to Barack.

Change. Sure, all of the candidates are saying it. Hillary Clinton says the same thing, but do we really believe her? Just being a woman isn’t a significant enough change. She comes off more to me as someone that just has personal aspirations of being the most powerful woman on earth. Sure she can lean on the Universal Health Care issue, but lets look at it more in detail. How will she achieve this universal health care? It will be mandatory by law. Kinda like car insurance. Sounds good you say? Look a little deeper.

Massachusetts has already tried this approach. The problem with this is that many citizens just can’t afford it. I don’t mean the poor people who can take advantage of medicaid and subsidies. I’m talking about those who make just enough where they are excluded from such subsidies and have to pay this insurance every month involuntarily. What happens to those who cannot afford it? They get fined! 1st offense is just a couple of hundred dollars. The next one is upwards of over $1,000! This is crazy! Will this effect people’s credit? Will the government garnish wages?! The main benefactor of this will be the insurance companies and not the people!

Obama on the other hand offers a way of making health-care affordable and available to all. Obama understands that health-care is just not in the budget for some families because of the cost. People shouldn’t have to be forced to cough up money they don’t have. This too does not completely solve them problem of health-care in this country, but it at least gives you an option. It still amazes me that we live in a country where its government can spend billions of dollars a year to wage a war in the Middle East over oil but it cannot afford to take care of its own citizens! Health Care should be free! Plain and simple. Doctors, insurance companies and drug manufacturers should all just make a little less money to benefit the whole. Like I said before, we live in a country that values money over anything else.

Obama inspires Americans though. He wants to change that line of thinking. He understands that America was great because of her ideas not its wars. Obama, spending 4 years studying abroad, understands that to make America great again is to renew those ideas of freedom and equality. He understood that when he opposed the war in Iraq vehemently before it all began. Do you ever stop to ask yourself, “Why in the hell are we over there period?” If you come to any other conclusion than OIL then you are sadly disillusioned. If it is hard for you to understand why “terrorists” hate us and plan to attack us then let me help you out.

Imagine that America was extremely rich in oil. Lets say that there is an abundance out in Texas and Arizona. Would we allow foreign countries to come in and say that our ways of government are unjust and we need to change or else. Then allow them to come and occupy Texas and Arizona under the false assertion that we had WMD’s (We have over 9,000 nuclear warheads) intended to do them harm. There would be know F’n way we allow that! We wouldn’t stand for them to be in the waters near our country nor in our neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico. So I ask you, what gives us the right to do what we do? We are so wrong its shameful.

We occupy foreign countries under the guise of spreading democracy as if we were in a medieval crusade to spread Christianity. All we did was cause chaos in an already chaotic region of the world for control over… OIL. Get this… Americans control it and we the people suffer for it. Exxon, Shell, Mobile and all of the other oil and gas companies have had their best years ever! They are making more money than any other company in the world and we are paying record high prices at the pump! So let me get this straight… thousands of Americans are dying and getting wounded (physically and mentally) every day for a few companies vested interests in crude oil that strains our countries economy by making everything cost more because of the cost of a barrel of black gold?!

That’s why I listen to Obama. He was adamantly against the war because he somehow had the foresight to see the bad direction we would go in as a result. He’s not thinking of personal gain, but his actions are reflecting his concern for his American people. Obama isn’t running for office because he wants personal gain. He is running because he loves and still believes in the idea of America that seems to be fading away. Obama seems to have gotten my attention and inspires me to believe again that one day I can be proud to be an American. He talks of using diplomacy instead of brute force to try and live in peace with the rest of the world instead of crushing it. Obama understands the steps we must take to free ourselves from the tierney of oil and in turn help reduce greenhouse gasses.

Obama has encouraged me to stick around and get involved in this process of healing this country. I can’t say that for the rest of the candidates. Hell, me writing an article about it in my blog is proof enough of inspiration. Maybe Obama’s message of hope and prosperity through means of action can reflect a renewed idea of America the Beautiful. I certainly hope so. I don’t want to be governed by the same fear tactics and greed that this government imposes upon its people. I want the true idea of freedom.

Touring Thailand: Day One

NEIM — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:52:27 +0000

I’m writing everyday about my adventures in Thailand. A 10-day adventure embarked on with 2 friends, KB & Nick, October 15th thru the 25th. I will include pictures and video as they are produced.

Day One: It is 9am Houston time and we arrive at the Intercontinental Airport. We board sometime before 10:30 on our way to Tokyo (layover city). This is when I realized that I might get a little bit of attention in Asia. You see, I am sporting a Mohawk 3 inches high off of my scalp. It has a braided design on the side with an afro-like Mohawk going down the middle. I haven’t even gotten to my seat when I’m asked to take a picture; a pre-cursor of things to come.

Note to anyone who hasn’t been to Asia. The flight is hella long! It took us 13 hours just to get to Tokyo. We were not permitted to leave the Airport. Our layover was only 2.5 hours anyway. The airport was very nice. It was like a mall with planes parked outside. The Sony store had all of the products that haven’t made it to market over here in the states. Anyone who knows how much I love technology knows that I was in “Hog Heaven.”
