I just found out last night about the earthquake that hit China and I feel horrible that I’ve been completely unaware of this tragic event that happened on May 12. It is said to have had a magnitude of about 8, likely having caused a death toll of over 50,000 casualties, about a quarter million injuries, and left almost 5 million people homeless. A number of schools had collapsed, burying and killing children instantly.
Sadly, I’ve seen some of these disturbing images with my own eyes and my stomach still twists into knots as I think back on them. I obviously understand that many of us aren’t in a position to provide any type of direct aid to this situation, but share your hearts with these victims and always appreciate the life that you have. Life is only as good or bad as YOU make it. I’m no saint, nor a religious man, nor do I have anything close to a perfect life, but I’ve learned to cherish ALL that exists and comes about in my life because I know that my time can be up at any moment.
Let not only events such as these remind you of the realness of death and tragedy. MILLIONS of human beings die every year, many of whom are children, from hunger, disease, and war. While we sit here and complain about the car we drive and the clothes we wear, CHILDREN around the world, literally die every couple seconds because of simple things like not having clean water to drink, or not being able to prevent an easily treatable disease. And yea, I know I’m just “all talk” at this point, but I’ve always had my plans to make my contributions to fight for the betterment of human life, so I’ma handle mine in due time. That’s my word…hold me to it!
On a different note, I’ve recently discovered that my “web-guy” is on a trip overseas, so the new set of designs will NOT be available for purchase until the end of this month! That’s my bad everyone…I know they are steaming hot, but please be patient and I guarantee your satisfaction. If you want to “pre-order” one, email me at brian@sanzpareil.com and I will guarantee your reservation.
Also, I’ll be adding 8 more designs to this first line up within the next 30-45 days. Which at that point, I’ll finally create a look-book/catalog and hopefully come to your town! Retailers, be prepared to feel the heat! You’re gonna WANT our shit in your stores. So far, I have plans to visit SD, The Bay, Seattle, Vegas, Phoenix, and NY. I will post more definite dates as we move along. In the meantime, everybody speak up and give me some feedback…I do this for the people and that’s all of YOU! You gotta let me know what’s good!!
Peace, “BK”
