Sooner or Later

This is going to be very groovy.

Sooner Or Later - Behind The Scenes

And The Last Shall Be First

Digital Gravel:

3Sixteen are holding a funeral service for the death of creativity and you're invited! Streetwear brands continue to feast on each other's concepts and the same ideas are recycled over and over again. Just like they say, there's nothing new under the sun. The sun is represented with a contrasting metallic foil print. by 3Sixteen.

With mantras such as "A Time to Kill/Heal" and "The Last Shall Be First" and "You reap what you sow", you'd be a fool to doubt the sincerity of their product. In my opinion some of their graphic tees are hit or miss, but I respect their direction.

I use that as a segue to my feature point. There is truly nothing new under the sun. We go through this life and create our stories everyday. More often than not, we end up like our parents. I don't want to get caught in the narrative that was set before me, but I often see parallels.

I have a healthy awareness of life. I learn a something new everyday. Sometimes I wish that translated on a resume, but that's a different story. I'm learning not to point fingers. There's the age old adage that if you point your finger at someone else, you're pointing four fingers back at yourself. Lest we forget about Matthew 7: 1-5

1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

To the point, there's not too much that hasn't been thought of before, but who's to say you won't do it better? As a resident Graduate Professor at DoYouniversity, I want to take this time out to tell you to be yourself. No other purpose to the post except, "Don't judge, lest ye be judged" and do something different with the talents you're blessed with.

Also, the 3Sixteen brand is constantly evolving and I support what they're rooted in, so go invest in quality threads. That is, of course, if you're into that sort of thing.

BONUS: Their lookbook videos are too exquisite not to throw in this here gift basket of literary knowledge. Taste and see that it is good. No blaspheme.
