introducing: GROUNDWAVES

GROUNDWAVES was a idea conceptualized over 2 years ago by the mind of my good friend Francis Torres. It was aided through the creative direction and energy of Henry Yu and Ryan Ben. Groundwaves is a concept that combines music, dance, and art where the artist's movements, inspired by the music is translated onto the canvas below. The three elements interact and make a perfect balance and bring to life a true expression of being in the moment. A creative burst of energy that mixes so many mediums to form one.

The canvas is originally blank. A solid line is drawn upon the canvas from one end to the other, signifying the blank dead noise before anything is happening. When the dancer begins to transfer his movements to the paint the canvas captures the essence of how music & dance become art in a whole new way. Check it out below

JAOQUIN PHOENIX is the shit. This movie is gonna be fucking sweet

JOAQUIN PHOENIX: I'M STILL HERE

and shortly after my last posts I found this --wow--

The HBO biopic Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes won five (count em FIVE) Emmy Awards last night. Congrats to everyone involved in the film on their wins!!! The real Temple Grandin was the evening's honors guest, standing up and waving several times during the show every time the inspiring film won an award.

But who is this amazing person???

Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism at age 2 in 1950 and is an inspiration for her work with livestock technology and being an advocate for people with autism. As one of the first advocates for autism, she is living proof that NO ONE should or can be defined by mental disabilities!! She believed in animal welfare thanks to her years of life on a farm, and spent countless years working to "see" from an animal's point of view & invest time into technologies to benefit farm animals. In addition to her work with livestock, Temple also invented the hug machine to help soothe & relax hypersensitive people with autism.

You have to get punched in the face to win the fight.

Getting to where you wanna go in life ain't easy.

Doing the work isn't hard, coming up with the idea isn't hard (we ALL come up with CRAZY ideas that are worth a million bucks) even coming up with the money to fund your ideas isn't hard. (If you really look hard enough, there is always someone ready to fund a spectacular idea and plan) What is hard is that first set back, the first road bump the first real obstacle that gets in your way.

We all come up with a great idea that we just know will work. We know all the right things to do, where we can go for help, and how it fits our personality so perfectly that we know "it's gonna make me a million bucks!" But then it happens: some key piece that was holding it all together didn't come through and now you're lost. How many times have you told yourself, "That was it, I needed that or the whole project is up in smoke". Well I'm here to tell you that THAT was just the very first road block in your journey.

You see, you can't win a fight if you stay down after getting hit once, you can't get that dream girl unless you get your balls busted a few times, you can't win the game if you quit after they score a point on you and you certainly won't get to your dreams before running into MANY road blocks. And here's the best part, they're not really road blocks. They are opportunities. *sounds cliche?* Even so, stop wasting your time telling yourself that it can't be done --waste of time-- start working on how else you can get the task done, or where else you can find that missing resource. If you don't know someone that can help you, someone you know definitely will know someone that can. 6 billion ppl in the world you can't tell me there isn't someone out there.

You wanna win the fight, expect to get punched, you want the girl, get rejected by 50 first (trust me this works really well btw) they scored a point on you, bring the ball up the court and score right back. You're plans fell through?! Well get back up find another way to finish the task and get going. And best believe that as you get more successful, the obstacles only get bigger and bigger. The harder the obstacle just means the bigger the success. Never except failure, only accept opportunities to get better. And somehow the universe always has a way of returning your hard work.

Why is Change so hard?

The conventional wisdom in psychology, in fact, is that the brain has two independent systems at work at all times. First, there's what we called the emotional side. it's the part of you that is instinctive, that feels pain and pleasure. Second, there's the rational side, also known as the reflective or conscious system. It's the part of you that deliberates and analyzes and looks into the future.

In the past few decades, psychologists have learned a lot about these two systems, but of course mankind has always been aware of the tension. Plato said that in our heads we have a rational charioteer who has to rein in an unruly horse that "barely yields to horsewhip and goad combine." Freud wrote about the selfish id and the conscientious superego (and also about the ego, which mediates between them). More recently, behavioural economists dubbed the two systems the Planner and the Doer.

But, to us, the duo's tension is captured best by an analogy used by the University of Virginia psychologist Jonathan Haidt in his wonderful book The Happiness Hypothesis. Haidt says that our emotional side is an elephant and our rational side is its rider. Perched atop the elephant, the Rider holds the reins and seems to be the leader. But the Rider's control is precarious because the Rider is so small relative to the Elephant. Anytime the six-ton Elephant and the Rider disagree about which direction to go, the Rider is going to lose. He's completely overmatched.

Most of us are all too familiar with situations in which our Elephant overpowers our Rider. You've experienced this if you've ever slept in, overeaten, dialed up your ex at midnight, procrastinated, tried to quit smoking and failed, skipped the gym, gotten angry and said something you regretted, abandoned your Spanish or piano lessons, refused to speak up in a meeting because you were scared and so on. Good thing no one is keeping score.

The weakness of the Elephant, our emotional and instinctive side, is clear: It's lazy and skittish, often looking for the quick payoff (ice cream cone) over the long-term payoff (being thin). When change efforts fail, its usually the Elephant's fault., since the kinds of change we want typically involve short-term sacrifices for long term payoffs. (We cut back on expenses today to yield a better balance sheet next year. We avoid ice cream today for a better body next year.) Changes often fail because the Rider simply can't keep the Elephant on the road long enough to reach the destination.

The Elephant's hunger for instant gratification is the opposite of the Rider's strength., which is the ability to think long-term, to plan, to think beyond the moment (all those things tat your pet can't do)

But what may surprise you is that the Elephant also has enormous strengths and that the rider has crippling weaknesses. The Elephant isn't always the bad guy. Emotion is the Elephant's turf- love and compassion and sympathy and loyalty. That fierce instinct you have to protect your kids against harm-- that's the Elephant. That spine-stiffening you feel when you need to stand up for yourself-- that's the Elephant.

And even more important if you're contemplating a change, the Elephant is the one who gets things done. To make progress toward a goal, whether it's noble or crass, requires the energy and drive of the Elephant. And this strength is the mirror image of the Rider's great weakness: spinning his wheels. The Rider tends to overanalyze and over think things. Chances are, you know people with rider problems: your friend who can agonize for twenty minutes about what to eat for dinner; your colleague who can brainstorm about new ideas for hours but can't ever seem to make a decision.

If you want to change things, you've got to appeal to both. The Rider provides the planning

and direction, and the Elephant provides the energy. So if you reach the Riders of your team but

not the Elephants, team members will have understanding without motivation. If you reach their

Elephants but not their Riders they'll have passion with0ut direction. In both cases, the flaws can

be paralyzing. A reluctant Elephant and a wheel-spinning Rider can both ensure that nothing changes.

But when Elephants and Riders move together, change can come easily.
