Anytime you mention the name of a Hollywood star , you might automatically spark sarcastic and snide comments about vanity , pretentious disconnects with reality, and general annoying things that might show up on your gossip page of choice. Keanu falls into a different category. As a midlfer, he’s going through the same life challenges as the rest of us. We are getting older and seeking MORE out of life. You know life is complicated enough when you focus on 1 career, 1 project, or 1 path.
Here are a few things about Keanu that you might not know. Let go of the “WHOA” and “DUDE” image.
MIDLIFE GOALS
- ARCH-He liked a motorcycle he had made enough that he decided to start a motorcycle company based on that design. ARCH was formed in 2011. Since then, the company has seen a steady growth and rise in popularity. Even landing some spotlight attention on Jay Leno’s Garage. ARCH is not a project, but a legitimate motorcycle brand. The company is niche for sure, due to a high price tag, but legitimate none the less.
- Musician-At one point, he was part of the alt rock scene. DOGSTAR was formed in a garage , like many a band in history. From playing bass to adding background vocals, Keanu didn’t settle. He was a key component to this rock band which was active from the 1991 to 2002.
- Publisher– X ARTIST BOOKS. Books. BOOKS! Strange things are truly afoot at the Circle K dude. Somewhat like his unique passion for a custom and individualized motorcycle, finding unique and creative authors to give them a platform for publishing.
Yes, Mr Wick is an enigma. Creativity and ambition continue to thrive as he pushes through midlife. May we all follow the path and do those things that keep us going.
Motorcycles, music, and books. That’s quite the list for anyone.
