So this video really struck me. Jim Henson was a major infulence on my creative psyche. I grew up watching movies like "The Dark Crystal" and "The Labrynth" from a very young age. I have to say that there is something similar in the style of this video. Maybe it's the puppet band playing in the background. I am almost positive that is the exact band of animals I used to see at a place called Razz Ma Tazz which was a place similar to Chuck E. Cheeze that I went to as a kid. This is all I could find on that. I like the sexual undertone and tribal dancing/life they came up with. I really liked this song from the first time I heard it. But the video speaks to the freaky creativity of MGMT and their video creators.
I would have to say that I would love to live in this video for a while.

Long Time No Blog
Oh well it has been quite a while! Between my 60-70 hour weeks I just haven't had time for reflection. I haven't even had time to sit down and check e-mails! At first I was debating about keeping this blog. I started this while I was in between jobs and had lots of free time. Now my days are usually 12 hours long and by the time I am home I am ravished and exhausted. Without a full day off in four weeks, I decided to leave the second job. The amount of hours/money I was getting there did not make it worth not having one day a week off. So now I do, and am looking forward to it! But after thinking about just quitting on this blog I decided against it. Mostly because the theme of my life these next years is going to be "Stick It". I am trying to learn some discipline and stay with projects that I start. Also I don't believe there are many people in my industry who blog. And while right now I don't seem to have much time, and am not sure just what or who this blog benefits I can't just quit. So while I may not be able to post daily, or even weekly, I am still going to post!
After being gone so long I come back to realize that my header is all messed up. I don't know how the background color got switched to blue but it is supposed to be white. Unfortunately because this damn PC has crashed so many times I have lost the image I had created for the header. It is really bothering the designer in me but lord knows NOW is not the time to fix this because it would turn into four hours at the computer. (I do not have Adobe Iluustrator on this damn PC and would have to use some other archaic program) We are starting a fund for our iMac and I can't wait to have one!!!
I have been surrounded by hair and I love it! I have been able to observe many talented people in my daily work. It is hard as a beginner to see myself being at their level someday. And I think one of the important things for me is just figuring out what kind of hairdresser to be. There are many different kinds. Some strive for money and that all important goal is reflected in the type of clientelle they bring in. Some strive to master edgy techniques and that, as well is reflected in the type of people they service. One of the reasons I think there are so many different kinds of stylists is because this still really is an art. I believe the way you percieve the art that you create is a direct result of how it is presented. And I believe the way you present your art or your craft is directly attributed to how others percieve it. Within the large salon I am at I have been trying to narrow down traits of certain stylists that I would like to have. Is there one person that I would like to see as a mentor? Its really nice to have such a variety of people and variety of minds to pick from!
