Carles Completes the New York City Marathon.


I truly believe that a brand can inspire a human to do something that they never thought they could accomplish.   I want to inspire bros to believe that they can do ‘anything under the sun.’  This is the goal of any successful brand.  Giving the common man ‘hope.’  It is this hope that sustains your will to live.   Without a will to live, you are less than human after all.

I want you to believe that you are #1.  Not just to your parents and to yourself, but to the entire world.  Similar to how black athletes and rappers feel, but in a more genuine+logical way.

Life is sorta like a marathon.  There’s a lot of other people competing against u, but u sorta just need 2 run ur own race, and u can sorta convince yourself that you some how ‘won.’

I am the only bro in this pack of runners listening to Animal Collective.

Need to ‘overcome.’

////continue reading

Finally, architecture and urban planning ‘makes sense’ now that I am transcending-ing through this city [via running].

Kinda weird how there’s over 100 million ppl on Earth. Seems like there are tons of opportunities to ’sell merch’/build a brand/market ‘hope’ + ‘the power of the human spirit’ 2 people.

Had my ‘bros’ from the internet come out 2 support me. It is important to have a ’support system’ of bros on the internet, and i.r.l.

A marathon is one of the last physical achievements most people can ever accomplish.  It is the halfway point of your physical life.  It might be the peak of your ‘youth.’  Completing a marathon may or may not be more meaningful than competing in youth sports.

(worried that I might need reconstructive knee surgery at age 45. Heard ellipticals are better 4 u.)

I love ‘the city.’

‘Never, ever, ever give up.’ -miscellaneous coaches/inspiring figures throughout the years

I just want to win the race. On a global scale and on a personal scale. I want my race to mean more than any1 else’s race.

This bro is me. This bro is you. This bro is every1 we know.

I feel proud. I am finished.

I won.

I am Carles.
I am a Brand.
I am Hope.
This Brand Wants You to Be Happy.
This Brand Will Enable You to Accomplish Your Dreams.

“Follow yalls dreams.”
-Carles

    @Y, altier?!! lamer, perhaps, but i believe in this case you have mistaken a contemporary alt for the ‘iconic history of alt’. do you forget that alt is the ability to be oneself and succeed in ones own health? why would a true alt corrupt their ankle support for a post-dated fashion allegiance? oh no, this bro has won; he is champion of the inner alt.

    I am 42 and did a triathelon a couple years ago. It was friggin hard and I probably wont do another one ever again. I like the swimming and the biking, but after I had finished my biking, I really wanted to be “done”. However, I still had to run a 5K. I did finish and it was “cool”.

    Congratulations on competing in a marathon and finishing it! In my opinion though, it’s really tacky to wear your own shirt. Ever see some guy singing with his own band’s t-shirt on @ concert? Seems uncouth.

    Kind of says like “yea, I can’t afford not to whore out my own band/brand/etc”.

    Anyway, good job!!! Seems like you were running by yourself, that’s sad, next time you can ask me and I’ll be your bud and run with you. You can e-mail me, I put the e-mail address in the e-mail field of this comment box.

    @Anna,

    I saw you. I saw what I wanted. You are very beautiful. Many women approach me everyday. I am not afraid to approach anyone. I have a stable job. You are a very elegant woman. Maybe your ignoring my post is the result of you being intimidated by my strong assertive style. Maybe you were, ‘I dunno’, abused when you were a child. But I’ll give you one more opportunity + another post until this window of opportunity closes. Like I said, you are a very classy lady. I am approached daily and am not afraid to approach anyone. I have an iTunes library of over 100,000 songs and have listened to 80% of them. I am inspired by Carles to get what I want. I always get what I want. I want you.

    @1000freeipods, i am late in the game. i’m not gonna lie, i haven’t been listening to all this stuff forever. in fact the first time i heard little boots was probably 2 weeks ago.

    the first episode of v was good, except it is playing off the conspiracy theories about the world powers being ‘reptilian’, which could either end up being really fascinating or the death sentence of the show.

    @Anna, So did you start with the 1983/1984.85 series or just the new ones. Honestly am confused about the chronological order of this show. Feel like i’m gonna jump into a lost/dallas/twin peaks-esque scenario and miss crucial plot points/refs/inside jokes to things i haven’t seen.

    I Think you would sell more T-shirts if you made them every color and didn’t wright ‘I AM CARLES’ on them, and targeted ‘hip’ kids who think outsourcing is lame. Anyways, I only buy my shirts from India because Wes Anderson makes it look cool.

    Posted November 11, 2009 at 9:23 am | Permalink

    The impalpable sustenance of me from all things, at all hours of the day;
    The simple, compact, well-join’d scheme—myself disintegrated, every one disintegrated, yet part of the scheme:
    The similitudes of the past, and those of the future;
    The glories strung like beads on my smallest sights and hearings—on the walk in the street, and the passage over the river;
    The current rushing so swiftly, and swimming with me far away; 10
    The others that are to follow me, the ties between me and them;
    The certainty of others—the life, love, sight, hearing of others.

    Others will enter the gates of the ferry, and cross from shore to shore;
    Others will watch the run of the flood-tide;
    Others will see the shipping of Manhattan north and west, and the heights of Brooklyn to the south and east; 15
    Others will see the islands large and small;
    Fifty years hence, others will see them as they cross, the sun half an hour high;
    A hundred years hence, or ever so many hundred years hence, others will see them,
    Will enjoy the sunset, the pouring in of the flood-tide, the falling back to the sea of the ebb-tide.
    – Brooklyn Ferry

    I think this has created the perfect time to buy a shirt and wear it as a “retro revival” so we can all have a laugh about “how dumb we looked” during October. Could somebody give me some technical (*and emotional!*) support? The site will not let me add the item to my Shopping Carles :-(

    when he had his right arm up in the first 2 pics, i got s0 excited and thought he would have his ‘right hand hi’ in every pic

    feels like i should run a heavily partypic-ed marathon like this, to complete my ‘dream meme’

    …<3/h8 myself…

    This is truly inspiring. Yes Carles you inspire me everday to go out into the world and become the beat that I can be without falling into the fucking line of monotone fakeness our world has become. You inspire me to say fuck tomorrow and yesterday I only care about today.
    Might go run me a marathon because of you.
