I go by Josh Romero. I am an artist, and my life is my canvas. I live in Oak Cliff and work at Kidrobot in Dallas. I'm currently working on a project called "Sopa". As well as writing a book titled "Hidden Within My Chest". Both are very special to me and I'm pretty excited about them! Be on the look out for our launch early 2010. Thanks!
People often ask me why I have such an obsession with toys. I don’t ever really know how to answer that question. I think mainly because I wasn’t done playing with toys when my Mom decided to give mine away. No, seriously! I think I could have been 18 and still playing with Lego’s had she let me. But now I got my own greenbacks!!! So I tend to waste them on what most people call toys.
I like to think of it more as art on a different medium though. Something about the different characters created from the imagination of all the other “kids” out there. We somehow meet at a certain level. It’s like the playground of adulthood. Prices never really matter either. It’s about the connection you have with a single piece. It’s gotta pull on my heart strings. Silly I know, but not any more silly than people buying fancy hand bags or exclusive shoes.
To each his own I say! We’ve all got our own something we can’t resist. I think about it like this… My kids are gonna be born into a crazy creative/imaginative world of toys. By then, I won’t have to buy them any either. They’ll just want to play with mine and we’ll be able to share that together. :)
I got a huuuuuge income tax return, which was very nice. :)
So we got together and had a little poker night…
The buy in was $10 plus a $5 scratch off. There was food, beer, cards, and SALSA music! haha. It was a good night! It’s just too bad I walked away empty handed. The sad part about it all is that Brantley and Tony who had never played before walked away with the Gold. :\
Oh well, better luck next time. I wanna go to Windstar sometime soon and play at a real table. I think that would be fun! Or maybe play on a casino boat somewhere on the Mississippi.
“THE” Jonny Mack, presents his EP entitled “Under The Covers”. He’s been working on this baby for awhile now. Check him out in all his glory. It’s a free download and you should definitely take a listen. It’s hip hop covers like you’ve never heard them before! :) I love this dude! He seriously makes music for the love of music! One of the most humble and down to earth people I’ve met. So go follow him on twitter @Jonny_Mack and check out his download here: Under The Covers
I found this picture while cleaning out my room/closet. I thought it was pretty hysterical. It’s from the last day of school in 8th grade. Oh wow, we really thought we were some hot shit. How we were sooooo wrong!!! Ha. Can you guess which one is me?!?!?!?!?!?!
I wanna see some of your old embarrassing/funny pictures from when you were young. Don’t be shy either!!! It’s just for laughs… @reply them to me on twitter at:
I’ve had a lot of footage just sitting around not edited. I thought I’d put a little something together today. Some old, some new. See if you can find “Bangs”.
My Mom was really sad today, so I asked her what was wrong. She replied, “I miss my papa (That’s one of the many things she calls my Dad)”. My Dad is currently in LA cause his Mom is sick. He’s been gone since Friday. Anyways…
I got to thinking…They’ve been together since they were 15, dated for 7 years, and just recently celebrated 28 yrs of marriage. That’s nuts to me! But all that to say that this song reminds me of them. Sade goes soooo hard! Eff what ya heard! Ha.
This is a new project Michael and I are beginning. It’s a book! It’s gonna be a loooot of fun! We need as many single women to help us as we can get. So, if you are between the ages of 18 and 30 and are interested in letting it all out send us your info (Name, Number, Email, Ect…). We’re going to be interviewing as many of you as we can. Let your lady friends know too!!!
We celebrate as another year passes by. It’s not just a new year though, it’s also the beginning of a new decade!
Ten years ago I was in the 8th grade. That’s crazy to think about. I don’t like it. It makes me feel old. Ha. But along with it brings the realization that time really does fly by. I look back and think about what all I’ve accomplished in the last ten years. I don’t like that either. Ha.
I don’t know…
I’m not big on new years resolutions but I really do want a change in the direction of my life. I want to make these remaining years count for something. I’ve lived a lot of life for myself. I’m kind of embarrassed by it. I’m embracing this new year as a clean slate though.
So, I welcome this new season, this new chapter, this new year of my life and I declare that I will be its author.
Sorry about the quality of this video! I had to post it on Vimeo cause Youtube wouldn’t let me use the audio because it’s copyrighted. LAAAAAME! But, hopefully you enjoy it. Thanks!
The thought process behind the statement “go find yourself” is funny to me. Usually, in the context that it’s used its always somewhat negative. Think about that… How can finding yourself be a negative thing? I’ve never understood why its frowned upon to wander. In all honesty I think we all go our whole lives trying to find ourselves. I find it brilliant!
To have found ones self really is to live in denial. We as humans are an ever evolving species. Daily growing in knowledge and understanding of the world around us, how we pertain to it, and it to us.
I like to think I am free. That you are free. Free to be whomever you please. So I say… Wander. Lose yourself. Don’t allow people to put limitation on who you are and what you can be. They’re usually the ones posing as 1 but standing as 10,000 strong. To them I say, “FUCK OFF!”
