I've been watching this show religiously. It's a 2-season series that's made up of 8 episodes per season. Bad news is that it got canceled on HBO and 'may' have the chance of resurfacing on another channel.
This is something of a wake-up call for me since the show revolves about 20-somethings in their constant sprawl to hustle and make a name for themselves at the gritty NYC. It's a good story but short lived.
"Hustle" is such a strong word for me. It represents a scuffle, street smarts, struggle and balancing victory and defeat. The events portrayed on the show represents each and adds a spritz of comedy and relatability (not to mention generous amounts of nudity and innuendo.)
Staying up late just to watch the complete two seasons made me want to take a move on with my plans for a silk screen printing business. Yes, if I weren't writing, I'd be making clothes. Sucky and tacky, I know. The prospect of making good clothes that people can actually appreciate is something I've thought about waaaay more than I do for work.
Once I get enough funds to start my own craft, I'd quit this day job and make my own way. The confidence and doubt of the characters are fighting to win over each other. It's another relatable thing for most 20-somethings. I'm feeeling like I'm writing a review for Thought Catalog but that's how it is. We never figure out what we want to do in our 20s. Some of us may have good day jobs but the fact of the matter is, most of us don't want it, we just kinda need it to stay afloat in a quagmire of bureaucratic ladders.
Many of us can say that we are anchored by something in some way, most of the time, that's true. MOST of the time. But we still feel like floating. And this post is already starting to rise up to the surface instead of sinking to my deeper thoughts.
Anyhow, I'd get a start up on my business as soon as I have the money. In the meantime, I think I'll make a concept for my project.
Fuck! I love this show. Dirty, ambitious, flashy and fucking rad. Higher being, please send us season three. You can do it anytime you wish, we'll be waiting.
go for the gold :) same here. im gonna resign on march next year and start up my fledgling business venture. :) good luck to us :)

DeleteMeanwhile, ngayon lang ako nacurious sa mga series tulad ng Lost! Hahahaha I thought it was trash way back then.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, ang hirap nang maghanap ng raket ngayon eh! Subukan mo rin yang silk-screen business. Medyo mahirap kasi kailangan may graphic artists ka and all, though pwede namang ikaw din gumawa ng sketches tapos i-scan and all.
oo, pre! di bale, pag nagstart ako bibigyan kita ng sampol! ang ating interaction ay hindi na lang pang internet. masarap pala yung burger na niluto mo kagabi hehehe
