“Want to know what defines a man? Look no further than what gets him out of bed every single morning.”
Since July 2006, what’s gotten me out of bed every single morning, first and foremost, is The 21 Convention – my greatest achievement, and physical expression of my deepest vision of what is right in the world.
While other things have, at times, contributed to this act – The Dream Lounge especially — nothing has taken importance over The 21 Convention. Not even close.
By my judgment, this is also it’s greatest appeal.
Greatest appeal because a man and his focus – his purpose — succeeding in the world today is becoming rarer by the day.
And this is something we value to the highest of degrees.
An outlet to admire that which is deserving of admiration.
This is the value people attribute to The 21 Convention when they view it as “the grass roots”, “hope for the future”, and a “force aimed in that direction”.
The 21 Convention makes real in the form of a physical mirror and psychological reflection their deepest vision that life is good, success is possible, and happiness is both natural and achieve-able.
That the ideal is possible in an anti-ideal age.

I wonder at times if there is more to my nickname than I was aware of at the time of its choosing.
There’s a fairly recent song by Chris Brown featuring a Uk rapper called Chipmunk. Im not a fan of the song really but everytime I hear it on the radio a particular lyric stands out to me and makes me think of your nickname and your purpose.
“….now my dream and reality is simultaneous”
