Oh Summer, Where Have You Been!
Finally, the sun has come up! Time to get those bathing suits out and enjoy the splendor of the ravishing sun and just let it melt you away with everlasting energy.... well obviously with a good coat of sun block. The ocean breeze, the salty smell of the water and the ever-wonderful feeling of having sand between your toes. Many believe that the only joy one can get from a day at the beach is that toasty bronze color you get afterwards, but actually the ocean has a lot more to offer and this are few of what a day out with the sea may bring to all:
The ocean calms by virtue of its continuity. It is always there, though frequently undergoing transformation from tranquil calm to the chaos of fierce storms and back again.
The ocean is vast and mysterious, well known at its edges, unexplored at its depths. At times peaceful and serene, friendly and accepting of human life, then a powerful and tumultuous frenzy of wind and wave energy, life-threatening for humans. We know but a fraction of an ocean, yet we accept its existence and its vagaries of behavior.
The ocean simultaneously humbles us and inspires reflection upon who we are and life's purpose.
The ocean supports an endless array of life. No one life form dominates. It seems the ocean is saying that "no one way of living is the right way"; each way is right for particular beings.
So The Vice invites you to take a day out of your hectic work day and just absorb the splendor of the ocean. If by any chance you live far from it, don't worry you can still enjoy it here.

BELIEVE THE HYPE! Miami
Presented by La Revenge x Bold Hype x Eazy Street gallery, this exhibit is the 2nd installment of the group show in Orlando. The show opened in Miami on April 10, 2010 at Eazy Street Gallery in the Wynwood Arts District and the Vice was thrown right into the mix.
While sipping on complimentary Seven Tiki Spiced Rum and rocking out to the effervescent old school sounds of DJ Keen-One, The Vice was utterly amused and awed by the display of low-brow art. The show featured a live bodiless head, some 2-d art works, mind blowing murals, a suspended sculpture, live art and a good 'ol rendition of Nessie the Loch Ness Monster swimming in the cyc wall. Curated by Dustin Orlando, BELIEVE THE HYPE! Miami features artwork by a variety of local and national talent.
The exhibit runs through the entire month of April at Eazy Street Gallery, located at 3501 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33137.

"BROWN SOUP THING"
This mysterious title not only can be identified with that yummy dish you can't quite remember the name of...from that one restaurant...it's an emerging Asian American feature film The Vice came across last month. "Brown Soup Thing", written, directed and produced by Edward J. Mallillin, was featured at the 2010 Delray Beach Film Festival on March 27 as one of the most sought after films, due to the record breaking attendance in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. The Vice attended the film in support of a friend and fellow cast member Julius Mayo Jr."Brown Soup Thing" is a comedy/drama about a dysfunctional, yet pretty normal, Filipino American family who is forced to individually recognize what their heritage means thanks to the youngest family member's school project on what it means to be a Filipino American. The emerging cast held an interesting record with male and female actors featured on Hi-5, Deal or No Deal, and the Bold and the Beautiful. And, lets not forget the amusing cameos especially from the great boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Overall this film appeals to any individual with a diverse racial background and the struggle to find the balance between loving one's heritage and living the American dream.
