1) How did the name “Dirtbags” come about?
DB- The name “Dirtbags” came from me and my friend, we always used to be like man that’s some dirtbag shit you did right there. ha. It was a term that you really don’t hear anymore. I mean, I like to do dirtbag shit.. I like to drink, women, party, get trashed.. etc. What I am doing is taking something negative and making it into a positive.
2) What do most folk assume its about before you even tell them the meaning?DB-I had one person, be like, what is dirtbags?? it doesn’t sound appealing, especially to women. I just ha said “Positive People Positve Outcomes” that usually turns everybody’s frown upside down. #dirtbags

New Movie: @JohnCarter
From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.
Can’t wait til this comes out!
