Bobby Hundreds visited a shop called Backside in Burbank and
happened upon some T-shirts designed by The Forest Lab.Instantly he fell head over heels for them,
calling them “the best streetwear t-shirts out right now.”And… he bought some for his business partner
Ben Hundreds… and the rest is history… in the making!
Now friends, you might be wondering just who The Hundreds
actually are.The Hundreds is a
streetwear company that is big.I mean
big. Not only do they have a great clothing line, their branding is off the
chart too.They have a cult following
that love their little BoMB logo and consequently try to post it everywhere…Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, you name it.You
might say The Hundreds is the BOMB!
Besides their popularity in the fashion industry they have
an incredible online-magazine written exclusively by Bobby Hundreds
himself.It lets you get some insight
into the life of the rich and famous through his eyes. His Blog is phenomenal
in fact.One of my favorite posts
(besides the one about The Forest Lab, which is my favorite for sure) is called
Nanny Diaries.It is about a woman named
Vivian Maier who was a closet photographer, meaning nobody knew she took
photos.It wasn’t until she passed away
that all her photos were discovered.. it was a great story.Ahhh, but I digress.I really just wanted to say “Yipee” about the
press The Forest Lab got from them.
It’s that time of the year again… just when we thought it
was safe to go back in the water…Discovery Channel brings us Shark Week.This year, like every year, the hunt for the legendary water
monsters continues.
Headlining the week so far is the search for the ferocious
Megalodon, a huge prehistoric shark that is known as the deadliest killing
machine in the water.Megalodon is a 67
foot long specimen of a super shark who lives off the coast of South
Africa.The Discovery Channel kicked off
Shark Week by airing a documentary about the unfortunate fate of a fishing boat
that was on a fishing excursion just off the coast of Cape Town. The boat was
literally attacked by this thought to be extinct predator, leaving no survivors
in its wake. The poor souls on the boat never knew what hit them.Lucky for the curious viewers of gruesome
shark attacks, a video camera was discovered in the wreckage showing exactly
what attacked the poor vessel. Believe it or not, it was the cousin of
Megalodon known as Submarine! Hold up!We didn’t actually see Submarine attack, we just heard the boaters cry
out while being attacked, in a fearsome scream, SHARK!
It turns out that what was thought to be a documentary on
the mythical Megalodon turned out to be nothing more than a mockumentary.
Unfortunately many probably missed this quick disclaimer that the station aired
Sunday:
“None of the institutions or agencies that appear in the
film are affiliated with it in any way, nor have approved its contents. Though
certain events and characters in this film have been dramatized, sightings of
‘Submarine’ continue to this day. Megalodon was a real shark. Legends of giant
sharks persist all over the world. There is still debate about what they might
be.”
Are real shark attacks getting harder to find these days?
Have we already explored all the gruesome details of shark attacks available to
us on previous seasons of shark week?
Perhaps this is the reason that Shark Week is taking the
lighter side of gruesome this year. A talk show series called “Shark after
Dark” has introduced us to a new character called Bob the Shark.Bob the Shark has over 36,000 Twitter
followers and climbing.
Shark Week also
aired a commercial featuring Snuffy the Seal, in another attempt at some shark
humor.It was a win.
Adding to the levity of the season is “Voodoo Sharks”, a
show that features bayou hillbillies in search of the deadly “Rookin”. The
Rookin is a salt water predator turned fresh water killer, as a result of an
old voodoo curse, who stalks wildlife and people along the bayous of
Louisiana.Captain Blimp leads the crew
in search of this mythological Bull Shark using his homemade gadgets to help
him on his quest.
Whatever turn Shark Week takes this year we will still be
curiously engaged, just in case it airs some poor beach goers chance encounter with
the sea demon itself. It’s like a car wreck; we just can’t seem to pass by
without looking.
“It’s just difficult
to bet against Floyd if you’re really honest with yourself… First off, you have
to admit that he’s the best of his time. The best of his generation.”Mike Tyson
The Champ is in strict training again.The big fight against Canelo Alvarez is on
the horizon and The Money Team is hard at work. Discipline is the word to use when it comes to
Floyd Mayweather. It takes discipline to maintain the winning streak Floyd
Mayweather has. Discipline in every area of his training. Discipline amongst
chaos.
The Forest Lab had the rare opportunity of being invited to
join The Champ during one of his training sessions at the Mayweather Boxing
Club in Las Vegas. Among the throngs of family, friends, reporters, and fans,
they found Floyd Mayweather engaged in his routine, focused and disciplined. From
sparring to jumping rope his concentration was precise, never distracted. The
energy level at the gym was raging as the entourage shouted with him through
his entire session, responding appropriately when he spoke certain words. They
all worked together like a well-oiled machine pumping out a product of sheer
perfection.
It is this kind of discipline and focus that is required to
be number one in your field.It is the
reason why Floyd Mayweather is still one of the highest paid athletes.It is the reason why The Forest Lab has added
Floyd “Money” Mayweather, The Champ, to their Crown series.
Well, move over Planking and make room for the newest craze
Trouting
"One Fish"
"Two fish"
"Red fish, Blue fish"
One may ask, "How did this craze begin?"
The Trouting phenomena began because of the Angels superstar baseball player, Mike Trout. Mike Trout, aka "The Millville Meteor", has won the hearts of many a fan of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and was even awarded 2012:Rookie of the Year.
Will the phase last? Only time will tell...
If it will "catch" on. Shirt available at The Forest Lab
