Forever Story

August 27, 2008

Write your bit. That’s all the Forever Story asks you to do. Write your bit and become part of the longest story collaboration ever. And in the meantime, you’re helping children with autism. Sounds like a fair trade to me. I’ve written my bit. Now it’s time to write yours.

I think I found the best thing since sliced bread – pancakes in a can. Check them out.

(the) Apartment 416 is a story about a man who’s struggling with pounds of anger, clicks of mass media, and a sweating obsession for the girl living in apartment 416. The first draft will be available soon. If you’re interested in checking it out, send me an e-mail at justinvia@gmail.com. WARNING: The story is in written form. Yes, written form. After you read it though, all this will make since. Thanks. Oh, and the first person to decipher the phrase being written during frames 1:32/1:33 will win their very own Via wallet from justinvia.com/wallets. Good luck.

My small wallet making hobby has now turned into a money making enterprise. Oh yeah! Introducing VIA Wallets. They’re made of Duct Tape and are inspired by things I find interesting. Buy one if you’d like. They’re one of a kind. Visit www.justinvia.com/wallets for more info. Here are some of my favorites:

Even riding passenger on bike… even.. riding… passenger… on.. a… bike.

Additional Note: Sylvia is one of the most respected, feared and loved teachers at the Creative Circus (And she knows absolutely everything about color).

Elena Schroeder and I created Torque, a Men’s Detail Shop where dudes can get their hair cut with out feeling sissy. To see more manly photo’s click here (then click on more branding).

They’re both right.
