SEASONAL




Every year, an idiot sets acres upon acres of dried terrain on fire here in SoCal. It never fails. This thing is seasonal and you can bet that next year, I will have another post like this one with a link to this post. Condolence to the rich corporate execs and elites that can actually afford to live on top of these hill. Oh well, if you have the means to buy a house on a hill, I'm pretty sure you can afford to pay for another one. But one thing you can learn from this is that even if you are rich, you're still not fire proof. Get a house on a beach instead. And to cool things off, here's a video of the "dirty, old, nasty wedge" (-Bruce Brown) taken during the July 24th-25th south swell:

ESTE la vista

Check out this clip from "the run up" on the world famous photographer Estevan Oriol. A lot of people either love this guy or hate this guy but one thing both sides agree on is that you can't stop him. This interview allows the viewer to understand his way of thinking and his view of the current society through his lens. Estevan's work ethic and hustle is something that we here at BTMxSHLF respect and apply. Basically everyday we have to take a step forward closer to our goals, keeping in mind that the competition is right behind you working harder and longer. DREAMS don't keep the lights on... working hard does.


Click play, sit back and enjoy.
