What is up, my peoples!? How are y’all doin? Well it is about that time of the year again. The 19th of May has finally arrived and it’s time to show some love to the awesome projects that came out on this fine personal holiday of mine.
Today, based on the countdown we have the 25th Anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the 24th Anniversary of Disney’s Dinosaur, the 19th Anniversary of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and last but not least, the 7th Anniversary Linkin Park’s seventh and final studio record, One More Light with its album-titular song now held as tribute to Chris Cornell who sadly passed away a day earlier.
What continues to make this day so special for me is the contents from certain parts of the entertainment and music industry that left a massive impact on my childhood and even my road to fully-realized adulthood. Star Wars is my most favorite content, especially the prequel content, Dinosaur is one of my favorite animated movies of all time amongst my beloved trinity, and Linkin Park as many of you know by now is my favorite band forever. And for much of those projects to have been birthed on this day is what makes May 19th a significant multi-commemoration day for such.
However, today’s MVP goes to Star Wars Episode I for being the first medium halfway into 30 re-released in theaters.
That said, thanks to Linkin Park’s OML cover, I decided to make warm beach sunsets with adolescent silhouettes my overall backgrounds for the holiday. Also for the May 19th theme going forward, I will include, now and forevermore, the rainbow of warm colors such as Golden Yellow for Episode I, Bronze Orange for Dinosaur, Crimson Red for Episode III, and Peachy Pink for One More Light. The same way I did for the countdown on my IG story.
And finally, if you made it this far, let me take the time to say that you look all awesome and I hope that wherever you are and whatever it you’re doing, I hope you have a fantastic May 19th whether you’re acknowledging it’s beloved projects or not. Again, y’all look fantastic and I hope you know that.
God Bless and R.I.P. Chris and Chester.
