@munkination

My name is Alex Minney and although i created this blog to promote a company I started last year called MunkiNation™ (facebook.com/munkination) which is an upcoming clothing, graphic, photography and music line; I instead decided to use this blog to promote myself, my ideas and my passions through just my visual talents (i.e. photography, literature, and graphics) in order too create a portal between you the reader and myself if you will. So feast your eyes on the photos and words that are me. I hope you enjoy. To see more from me simply go to: llamasgotswag.deviantart.com (Graphics) or www.soundcloud.com (music).

“Someone doesn’t like you? Fuck it. Having a bad day? Fuck it. Didn’t get that job, or that grade, or that promotion you wanted? Fuck it. Fighting with your lover? Fuck it. Feel fat today? Fuck it. Losing control of everything and everyone? Fuck it. What matters now won’t matter soon; the truly important thing is that you are alive, and that you have the capacity to do absolutely anything with this beautiful, crazy coincidence of being on this earth. Just stick your middle fingers in the air and think, ‘Damn, I have it good.”

Gerald Way

We don’t live on this planet to make movies, to make songs, soundtracks, art, or even to create masterpieces.We live because we want to reach a purpose in what we are doing. We live to leave behind something that everybody remembers you for, something unique for you,a legacy. People come and go, from geniuses and idealists, to dictators and people slayers. The things we do in life, the objects. They don’t matter. Only thing that matters, is what we leave behind, for other to remember us by.

Get back up and try again... (Click here to read post)

This extract was taken of a facebook post from one of my good friends, Nick. Please read carefully as he had some amazing words to say that i felt like sharing...

"Before the end of the boxing season a few months ago, I broke my nose sparring. I didn't return for the closing practices; if I'm honest with myself I was more humiliated then I let on. But with the beginning of the second semester at Wits I attended the first practice, and at the end, as per usual, there were words of wisdom spoken from one in the club, but not before the coach berated me for my absence, having only encouraged me all season. This time it was our highest ranking boxer Njabulo, who'd recently competed in the Student Games in Khazan, Iran, who spoke to us. He explained to us that he had lost in the first round due to a technicality after he was knocked down and hadn't risen after 4 seconds instead of the usual 8. Yet he told us, "I'm not sure if this is wisdom but it's definitely something to think about. Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face. So rather make a plan for when you're punched in the face."" I won't say he looked at me afterwards, but the words rang true.

The point is, one setback, in this case conceding defeat, means nothing compared to the will to get back up again. Don't ever fear success, and be humbled when someone gets there before you."

"Trip, Fall, and Succeed" (Click Here)

Today on my lunch break I was sitting by the street and i saw a mother with her little daughter (who had just learnt how to walk). The daughter was walking beside her mum eager to have finally gotten out of the push tram and looking happier than ever. She gets a sudden jolt of excitement and starts running off past her mom within about 2 meters the mom quickly catches and grabs her daughter and exclaims, "DON'T RUN! YOU WILL FALL!!". she then holds her young-ling tight by the arm as to stop her from running again and as they continue walking slowly hand in hand, the daughter falls. Being young we are often told to not do things. or that we can't do things because we will get hurt. Being young we always want to run before we've completely mastered the art of walking. However, if the only thing that's stopping you from trying something new/ taking a chancing/ reaching for your dreams is the fear of falling in the process let me just tell you that you can fall anywhere even in the comfort of your precious bubble. Don't be afraid to go out on a limb, be different, or to just do you because eventually that girl will learn how to run and it won't be because she listened to her mom it will be because of the hundreds of times she will run and fall when her mom isn't looking. Keep it real. Do you.
