The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows,
and occasionally the gift to feel strong.
Now, I don’t know much about the sea,
but I do know thats the way it is here.
And I also know in life,
not how important it is to be strong,
but to feel strong.
To measure yourself at least once.
To find your self at least once in the most ancient of human conditions,
measuring the blind, deaf stone, alone.
With nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.
These guys are collectively one of my best friends and all around good guys. I couldn’t be happier with how great they’re doing. I remember when they were playing to 10 kids.
10. Moved into 1731 McCollum St. (AKA the Silverlake Party Mansion)
9. Took a job making more money than my parents. (Whos dumb for quitting college nowww)
8. Realized that money doesn’t make you happy and quit that job to start a company with some friends
7. Met and became acquaintances with one of one of my favorite actresses (She’s so fucking fine.)
6. Took my man tits from a ample b-cup to a more supple and manageable a.
5. Smoked with the bassist of the Black Keys in my back yard.
4. This is a tie between 4 concerts.
3. Saw someone I know become Famous
2. Made some lifelong friends
1. Took the steps, make my self vulnerable enough to end my 2 year fight with depression.
____________________________________________________________________________________
5. There is no life free of suffering. Even the people we think have perfect lives, have just as many problems as I, they’re just different.
4. When people have a lot of work to do on themselves, It’s best to stay away from them. Even when you don’t want to, or you feel you can help them.
3. Living in the moment (thinking about only what you can see) can change your life, over night.
2. My hard work over the past 5 years of my life hasn’t been in vain, and Its making for a really bright future if I stay focused.
1. Life isn’t nearly as serious as we make it out to be, problems aren’t nearly as big as the fear behind them.
Domesticated to Unveil Innovative Shopping Approach to U.S. Consumers
Young Entrepreneurs Start Online Site Connecting Consumers in Search of American Made Goods with the Companies That Produce Them
BROOKLYN, NY, December 18, 2011: On January 1, 2012 Domesticated, the newest outlet for consumers in search of products made in the U.S., launches their online site.
Founders, Matt Steedman (23) and Christopher Carter (24) created a web application that allows consumers and business owners to search, add, review, and purchase products produced in the United States. Domesticated organizes high quality goods and the companies that make them, providing the ability to search the using unique filters like proximity, price, product ratings, and company ratings.
Domesticated provides consumers with a, fun, easy-to-navigate database of US based businesses and their and an curated array of their respective products. Domesticated also makes it easy to share the products with your Facebook friends or Twitter followers. Users will be able to search the companies that make the products (useful for both consumers and retailers looking for wholesale) and go directly to the manufacturers site to purchase the products. In the future, there will be an e-commerce feature deployed seamlessly to bring the experience full circle, allowing users to purchase products directly from the supplier using Domesticated.
Domesticated provides businesses with a powerful tool to reach prospective consumers. Most consumers on the site will be heavily interested in learning more about the companies and the products that offer them. Getting them to know the craft that often goes into these products that is lost on the larger outsourced manufacturers.
“At the moment there is large, untapped marketing potential for domestically manufactured goods, similar to the ‘green’ movement years ago and more recently with ‘organic’ foods explosion.” - Co-founder, Matt Steedman states. “There are many Americans that would like to support the American economy by buying domestically, but they are overwhelmed by the amount of foreign made products that have flooded retail in the last few decades. These consumers ultimately give up, frustrated in their inability to find anything made in the United States.” - adds Co-Founder, Christopher Carter
