I came across this short film while looking at #vanlife tweets and following some links. I also found Cobra Rock Boot Company, which I plan to visit on a road trip next June.
“Tokyo Texas” Levis Concept Design Film. from Dana Shaw on Vimeo.
My favorite quotes from this short film:
Utopia sounds great, but I would fucking hate it.
I do not tether my boat.
Things that don’t change, die. That’s just a part of life.
while I tend to agree with the cowboy in this film, about utopia, I do think the intersection of technology and freedom is amazing. But I don’t seek utopia. I seek freedom, and all that comes with it.
I hope to be taking part in the van life very soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you for sharing that.
Utopia is different for every individual. The cowboy has found his, or at least he knows what his isn’t. That’s when you know that you’re really truly happy.
I hope we all find our own.
Thank you.
Well said, John. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
