DISCLAIMER: we thought it would be really funny if we didn’t update at all in october. seriously. the idea of us – we’ve got orange in our logo and we’re youtube verifiably spooky, not making an update in october (and not because it has anything to do with the fact that none of us have…

BORN TO DIE
There’s someone I keep around in my life purely because I like watching them take everything they know and reduce it to Content. A hike in the woods becomes an instagram parable of what they found. New jobs become showcases of the personal brand: This is who I am and what I do reflects it….
