The Rabbit Hole by yumemusic
Day1: I awoke this morning thinking of how terrible it would feel to know that you only had 1 year to live. The things that could run through your brain, all of the emotions that one could feel in one single moment in time based on the sheer understanding that they will not exist anymore past a certain date. What would be the things I would like to achieve? What impact could I make? What mode of self actualization would I like to utilize to achieve my goals?
In this experiment my expiration date is August 1st 2011. I will live the next 12 months trying to create a stamp on the world, my world, and hopefully impact the lives of others while living within the constraints of the four pillars of YUME, Music, Art, Fashion, & Community. Below is some the list I have come up with and will stick to for the next 12 months:
At YUME, the lifestyle division of THE YUME GROUP, we tend to try to get people to understand that dreams are attainable and that in order to attain them you must live them. Over the past year or so we have stepped away from the confines of our Loftique and ventured out into the world spreading our mantra and trying our best to create a viable community of individuals that are harnessing their talent for the greater good.
To make the lifestyle more tangible and to reaffirm his commitment to creating a truly timeless company YUME Mike will be embarking on a 1 year pilgrimage back to the YUME Loftique. Inspired by a recent social experiment conducted by Dave Stefan, where he took his life and put it on a 12 month expiration date, YUME Mike will follow suit with a minor variation hoping to answer the question “How can I create a timeless stamp on the world if I only had 12 months to live?” His journey begins tomorrow August 1st. Please check in daily as he will be chronicling his entire journey right here on our site as well as on Facebook, and even twitter (he hates twitter by the way).
This experiment will go for an entire year August 1st 2010 to August 1st 2011 and will end with the newly relaunched YUME Loftique & The YUME Art Gallery.
“ Though there will be many other projects taking place throughout the year, I feel like this is indeed the most important. In starting YUME a few years ago I knew there was something truely special about this project. But I think it is time to put my time and energy where my mouth is. I consistently challenge others to live their dreams, but I tend to shy away from things I may waver about or be scared of when it comes to my personal achievement. I will take these things and become an active participant in realizing and achieving them. Living life as if I had no choice but to achieve these dreams, this is what THE YUME EXPERIMENT is. Live YUME Become TIMELESS.” YUME Mike
