What's up world? How are you? I go by the Visual Kid. I'm 1/5 of an incredible hip hop group called The Elements. I'm also known as Kevin Sampson,CEO of The LOOK Entertainment. Most importantly, I'm just a man trying to live out his dreams. I'm currently in grad school at American University chasing after my Masters in Film and Video. So already you see I'm into film and music.
I've recently become enthralled with the social media movement. You know, blogging, facebook, twitter, etc! It makes the world a smaller place, and you're able to connect with people of similar mindsets. Which brings me to the Sleepwalker Movement. What is it?
Sleepwalking is usually defined by moving around and performing normal actions as if awake. I like to listen to podcasts, and one of my favs is The Moth Podcast. "Sleepwalk with Me" is one story about a guy who was diagnosed as a sleepwalker. He said that one night he had a dream that he won an olympic 3rd place medal for some arbitrary event. As he got on the podium, they told him he won 1st place instead...so of course he stepped up higher. As the podium started wobbling in his dream, he woke up and realized that he was on the bookshelf in his living room. Needless to say, that story had a funny ending. I use this story to correlate back to the Sleepwalker concept. In his dream he was winning a 1st place prize, but in the real world he was stepping up on his bookshelf. He was dreaming, but acting out in real life.
Chasing after dreams is abnormal to most people after a time. Time and life tells many people to give up and get a "normal" job or live a "normal" life instead of following their heart and the passion that pumps in their veins. Yet for the few trendsetters in the world who don't listen to society, living out their dreams is normal to them. I say if you're chasing your dreams you're a Sleepwalker. If other people doubt, or don't think it's possible for you to achieve your goals, but you still go after them...you are a Sleepwalker! To us who live in a dreamlike state where nothing is impossible, while functioning in a world that doesn't see things quite the same...we are Sleepwalkers! If you have a dream or a goal, make a well thought out plan and go after it. It may not happen over night, but with hard work it will happen! Do what you have to do in the present (honestly and legally) to get where you need to be in the future. Live your dreams! This blog is about me chasing my dreams, and you chasing yours. I'll let you know what I'm doing to accomplish mine, and showcase others who are doing the same thing. Positivity people! Together we can, so let's get it!
