Badass Quote Of The Week

20130122-074945.jpg

This week’s BQOFT is brought to you by a man I both love and loathe.
I personally don’t know Casey Neistat, so having any sincere emotion for a complete stranger is pretty unusual for me. I’m generally neither here nor there about someone until I’ve shared breathing space with them, and no, this planet doesn’t count.

Mr. Neistat is a self-taught filmmaker who’s HBO show, “The Neistat Brothers”, is a wake-the-fuck-up call to anyone who’s been asleep too long and forgot how to dream. Yes, for sure someone like me.

Maybe I hate him for living his life to the fullest, and maybe it’s his hipster aura which at times can grind.
But the truth is that he’s doing it, every day he’s getting past faith or fears, and living in knowing.

Every time I’ve watched his videos I get inspired to pick up my camera, and damn you HBO for not only canceling the series but removing it from my HBOGO. “Girls” just won’t cut it in this instance.

I suggest checking out his YouTube page, and here’s a coupla samplers to get you started.
Now let’s go do something!

Here’s a link to the video which has the BQOTW:

And here’s a link to a Tedx Talk where Neistat waxes poetic about himself and his background to a bunch of kids:
