Puppies, Unicorns & Rainbows

Awesome bullet points from bleedcubbieblue.com about the bright side of the Cubs embarassing loss yesterday to the Diamondbacks. 

I actually used to like Matt Murton (pictured) but that was mostly because he looked like my elementary school friend, Ace. 

• There were some parachuters who landed right in left field before the game. (Unfortunately, I only heard about this -- I was underneath the stands at the time.)
• Kosuke Fukudome hit his first major league grand slam and his 15 RBI tie him for the team lead. Fun!
• Cubs pitchers retired nine of the first 11 Diamondbacks hitters and the last seven in a row.
• Ryan Theriot got a hit with a runner in scoring position!
• As a result of the point above, the Cubs actually had the lead... for about five minutes.
• James Russell only gave up one earned run!
• The Cubs held an old nemesis, Chris Young, to 0-for-5 (he reached on anAramis Ramirez error).

On another bright side, Comic Sans is always good for a laugh. 

Jorge and the Freaks

First off, I am writing this entire post with ice goggles on, trying to get rid of a headache. So, any typos are purely consequential. Anyway, here is a jam that I listened to frequently in the 8th grade. We all went to soccer camp at Hope College, it was the annual summer getaway. The awesome coaches there were lots of our first crushes. My personal favorite, George (Jorge we liked to call him) reminded me of my favorite player at the time, Alexi Lalas. (Who is apparently generally disliked, which I had no idea about) 


Anyway, since when I post songs from lala, they stay on my blog forever. I would rather have this song represent me and my childhood. 

Freaks Come Out At Night - Who...

Here is me in my ice googles. 

Don't mess with Duncs

At my freshman year of college at Michigan State, one of the first people I met was Duncan Keith. Little did I know at the time that the quiet, nice British Columbian born hockey player was going to be so famous. 


He used to come to my dorm room and download country songs (I didn't have any) from Napster (so that dates me) to put on a CD to send to his girlfriend (whom he adored and I heard is still with?). All in all, Duncs (as his teammates and friends called him) was a stand up dude. 


Funny to stumble upon this little gem of an obnoxious Nashville fan Heckling the poor guy. 
I guess he can work out his frustration by going home and swimming in his pool filled with cash. I picture it similar to Uncle Scrooge on Duck tales. 

Feedback

Just as soon as I am feeling pretty good about the blogging and internet portfolio world - we have a guest speaker (recruiter) tell us how bogus blogs sites are for showing your portfolio - especially if you're an art director. 


It's better to learn that a little late than never right? 


Here's something to chew on. I am chewing on a home-made chicken caprese wrap. mmmmm

A reminder from Nas

So often in the advertising world you hear about how "everything's been done." As I sat here eating my Barbara's puffins and am getting ready to go to "the farm" for my friend Stef's birthday, the ghetto jam is inspiring in that - he claims  no idea is original - it's all in the presentation. 


On Pandora it is followed up by Jamie Foxx' blame it on the alcohol. Maybe another sign.  Either way, here's an impulse post. Maybe advertising's new theme song. 

No Idea's Original (Explicit E...

Dirty Truth

It's not a mind blowing, but the insight is there. And it's true. I don't really have too many guy friends with blogs. Just sayin. Pretty much every guy that knows me would probably agree. I even text long winded. Okay, well, you'll see. 

Someecardobsession

I could look at someecards for hours. The writers there are awesome. 

I am thinking that I might need to come up with a theme for my blog. 

Besides looking at ads and social media a lot of the day, I know a lot about a couple of things in life...such as the following.

1. Sports/Working Out/Nutrition

2. Event Planning/Food/Wine

3. Music/Concerts/Venues

Well, I know a lot more random stuff too, but not enough that I think 

that you, or someone like you might want to hear at random. Random.


If I had blog followers, I would say, VOTE for what you want ! ( I don't know why, but I intentionally leave a space between my last word and the exclamation point !
I feel like that is kind of dramatic !! )

Being an aspiring art director, maybe I should just stick with pictures....

Well, today, I'll just stick to saying Happy Earth Day!! Remember, all 

of you important Advertising folk, I'm looking for a job, and in the meantime,
