Here's the basic outline that I have so far:
Rule #0: THERE ARE NO RULES!!!
Rule #1: Be Different
Fight the Norm
Be Loud
Start Your own Trends
Be Polorizing
Rule #2: Go Big
Don't Be Affraid
One Up Your Heroes
Try New Stuff
Don't Bail, Stick It
Rule #3: Support the Scene
Make it a Lifestyle
Fight for What You Believe In
Be Persistant
Hang Out with Like-Minded People
Rule #4: Love What You Do
Do What YOU Want for Fun - Get Paid for What Others Want You to Do.
Have Fun
Ignore the Outliers
Be Yourself
Rule #5: Act Like a Rockstar
Impress the Chicks
Record Your Best Tricks
Be Cocky
Be the Life of the Party
I know some of this is vague or may not make scense right now, but bear with me and hopefully as I break each of these down and expand on them it will make more sence.
Rule #0 is kind of like the sentance:
This sentance is false.
Just thought it was an interesting observation.
Also, I'm interested in seeing where this goes. There's certainly a sense of irreverent anarchy, which due to lack of structure typically flies in the face of any type of success. Obviously, the only way that this could be so is if this whatever you want to call it (I'd try to coin a term) inherently draws people to you, so you don't have to go chase them. I like it, let's see how it goes.
