ETHDenver

During my final Uber to the airport yesterday, I decided to learn about the Blue Mustang and its dark history.

Looming outside Denver’s airport, a 32-foot-tall mustang watches travellers come and go with its glowing red eyes fixed on the horizon. Commissioned by the city of Denver, The Blue Mustang, colloquially known as Blucifer, was meant to be a symbol of the West. Instead, it became a legend of misfortune when it turned on its own creator.

Artist Luis Jiménez was hired to design a sculpture representing the Midwest with a budget of $300K. The city originally wanted a buffalo stampede but scrapped the idea given the history of the species being hunted to near-extinction. Jiménez proposed a mustang instead, a symbol of the Midwest and a nod to early travel. The piece was inspired from a stallion he owned named Black Jack, a blue Appaloosa, with its glowing eyes paying tribute to his father’s work in a neon sign shop.

love white ppl bc they’ll say shit like “gee willikers!” and be 100% serious

It’s not procrastination if you’re “researching” something totally unrelated to your tasks, right?

Keep going, even when the path isn’t clear. Clarity will come in time.

Every great achievement started as a small idea. Take your ideas seriously, and start building them today.

There’s beauty in the struggle. Embrace it.

Embrace the unknown; it’s where the magic happens.

Small wins add up to big victories. Celebrate every achievement, no matter how small it may seem.
