Typecasting Social Networking.

I always like a good (and well done) stereotyping excercise. But now....I wonder what a black planet user looks like? Probably a bunch of 40 year old blackmen sitting around pretending to be in there early 20s. Some would call them predators. I call them "relationship entrepreneurs."

Oh, that's just Peta.

You know how you have that friend who is just ridiculous. The one that says and does almost everything that come to mind (I think, in my close friendship group...this is me)? Well, PETA is that person in the world of advertising. And no matter who wrong, offensive, horribly executed and conceptless their stunts and ads are.....they always seem to one up themselves. And you say "Oh, that's just _____."

This time in Florida, they call all non vegetarians, whales. Cause you know, if your not a vegetarian...you automatically fat and glutinous. Which makes me wonder if everyone on their staff is a vegetarian. Because if they are not, it must be a b*tch to operate this brilliance from a trailer filled with whales.

Everyone else was doing it.



btw, this guy looks nothing like me. But he has my essence for sure. I couldn't figure out a way to get the lighter in the left hand and my drink in the right- so I settled for a briefcase (with a bottle in it of course). Just finished watching the first episode of Madmen Season 3. Good overall, but what was the deal with the heavy gay references? Betty calling her daughter a hammer wielding lesbian and Sal...poor Sal. Ok, that's it. 

Goodnight.

Where the Wild Things Are...the Trailer 2.



Ok, before it was magical. Now...its starting to creep me the f*ck out.

Heartless. The Fray.

Sad accoustic rock makes my head hurt. It all sound the same (usually). But this, this is cool. And the video is very awesome.

"There are distinctive racial patterns to napping. Half of the black adults in our survey say they napped in the past 24 hours, compared with just a third of whites and Hispanics..."


I'm simply not sure how to take this statistic. I'm gonna nap on it, and then get back to you.

UPDATE: Ok...so, it's probably true. 

Reality Competition Shows just Stepped up its game.



This, will make your day. Being gay is totally in right now. But what isn't in, is a giant drag queen dancing to Beyonce on a nation wide reality tv show on MTV. I'll admit it, I watched the season finale of America's Best Dance Crew last year. And I was thou roughly entertained. But this....this, is just AMAZING. It's like To Wong Foo meets Step Up 2 (minus the awesome Westly Snipes...still paying back taxes). And as Best Week Ever so eloquently put it: This will probably be the fiercest thing you will see all summer.

Haha, oh man....great start to my day. Great!!!!

Pricing Yourself.

Some advice on what your worth. It's a tough one, but a wise man once told me....never underestimated (or underprice) your abilities. Good ideas and design knowledge is as much of a commodity as stocks and bonds. One rule I can give you is to never work for free. If you are in the industry...dont give you talents up for air. 

View a recent convo with my girl friend:

Me: So when I get home we can come up with some ideas. Sounds good yeah?

Her: Yeah, we'll have a brainstorming sesh

Me: No we wont, I'd have to charge you atleast $35 and hour for that. Let's just have a talk, an see what comes of it. 

So...in the end. Price wisely. Price fairly. But most of all....buy yourself something after you get that first freelancing check. Cause that sh*t goes fast.... 

There really is no better feeling than the one of punching a girl in the face....

...in China. 

Just incase you wanted to live your entire life without even thinking about touching a girl in a violent manner, there's one country that just will not allow it. Apparently domestic abuse is a big problem in China. And you will comply, whether you want a part in it or not.

On the next episode of....when ambients attack!
