Fun Idea (Free Coke).

Little do they know...that college kids are so poor that getting anything for free is (as I use to say in my BU days) "FUCKING PHENOMENAL."

In all actuality, this would be more successful in any given office kitchen....

X-Mas in India (according to Nick).

Xmas in India from provato on Vimeo.

Ok...so it's after christmas. But this spot for Nick by Nick is just so fun and light hearted I had to post it. This is the first mental footprint of the Indian culture (dot dot), that has been imprinted upon the brain  of thousands of kid across the nation. Hey, it's gotta start somewhere, right? Even if it's boarder line racist.

I kid. I kid,

Sometimes San Fran is Better (not LA).

Really fun Subway Swings. 

So fun perhaps, that it makes you forget all about swine flu....

Its got nothing to do with Chocolate...but it sure did make me smile. And I needed to do that so...

7 Things About Me.

I’ve been tagged by Jane from Dear Jane Sample to reveal 7 things about myself and in turn tag 7 more people to do the same. I saw this circling around other blogs and I hoped that I would not have to partake for 2 reasons: 1.) As this is not a myspace posting....I stopped trying to be too personal on this blog some time ago for fear of boring people to death  2.) I'm pretty sure my daily rant and raves have left little to no secrets about me to be conveyed. I am not all that interesting of a person (I just play one on the Internet). 

Yet...I accept this challenge. 

1.) I have an incredible love for the movie Mary Poppins. Like an undying, always entertained, I will fight you love. 

2.) I kid you not...the Beijing Olympics of 2009 was the most fun I have had watching TV in my entire life. I literally lived for them (as you could tell by my blog back in the summer). But my blog was literally only 20% of the fanaticism. What you don't know is that I planned my life around the Olympics. I found PCs (NBC is not mac compatible) at my office or left the office aimed for the local bar and watched events during the work day. I wrote down notes for things to blog about (I am normally not that organized). I downloaded a widgets and followed Japanese websites. I hate Michael Phelps and was obsessed with the Gymnastics portions of the games-- literally my soaps. I have a weird semi-celeb addictions and the games fed it like a fat kid at a cake factory. I will stop here...before I embarrass myself. 

3.) I don't say half of the things that run through my mind...for fear of freaking people out. And most of the thoughts are just obscenely ridiculous. 

4.) I am Bermudian.

5.) There are only two things that make me nauseous in the entire world: 1. Cabbage-the small and taste and 2. Broken bones (seeing the break happen or the direct after effect of the break). I can handle anything else. 

6.) I have a horrible addiction to zip up hoodies/sweaters. I will and can always buy one if given the option. I usually have to talk myself out of it. But as a present...it will always be in (in my book).

7.) I didn't always want to be an art director. As a kid, I wanted to be a farmer. Then I wanted to be a professional tennis player (I was and am really into tennis). In middle school I wanted to be an Architect, but Trig/Log/Calc in highschool killed that idea. I went to college thinking I wanted to go into Advertising, but I did not know what field. I originally thought I would go into account because (at the time), I was a great writer and I thought I could still use my creativity and the job would still be stable. After my first internship in the traffic department of a small Boston agency I realized I wanted to be a creative but never really committed until my final year in undergrad. I had a real fear of the lack of diversity (especially in the creative department) and honestly...my parents supported me and told me to go for my dream (even though they had no clue what that dream was or consisted of). So, I can thank the rents for where I am today, but it all started with wanting to own some cows and a few chickens- an aspiration I kinda still hope to accomplish. 

OK...now its my turn to pick 7. Although Jane took alot of the people I would've picked, I will do my best to keep this ball rolling. BTW The following people were chosen on a loose scale of  writing ability, availability, knowability and the reality that they will actually do this.

Snoopguistics.

One would think that Snoop and Martha in the same place would be awkward.
Nope. It's hilarious.




I wanna hang with Snoop and cook some sh*t. Looks like fun. 

just because: porn.

From Useful Photography #008, a book of photos of opening scenes from porn movies.

I was going to write captions under each photo, but my mind was way, way, way in the gutter. The last photo is my favorite. I can only imagine: 1.) Threesome on top of the coffin, 2.) The dead guy in the coffin getting out = foursome.

round 3: my friend joe.

So, I did it again. I allowed the future of our country, to take precedent over another one of my favorite show's finale. I will not mention the show, as it could lead to ridicule. I watched the final presidential debate last night. This will be brief, as I'm kinda tired of talking about the same thing over and over (and I actually have work to do).

1. If Joe the Plumber is real, I expect Joe Six Pack to get some media coverage as well. I do not think they are the same person though. I'm just saying.... 

2. My anxiety was put to ease when I tuned in to see both candidates sitting down and not roaming the floor like I was at some type of seminar and the Self Help speaker was telling me how to manage my bills. Bob Schieffer did a good job at keeping the ball rolling and allowing both guys to speak their minds....or roll their eyes, "air quote" etc. Just an fyi...my 13 year old niece "air quotes" when she is arguing with her mom. She is a freshman in high school and she never wins the argument.

3. Unlike the last debate...there was a very interesting question which sparked some drama. Regarding "negative campaigning" McCain exposed some raw emotion about some of the things Obama has been saying about him. But on the reverse side, he basically said that Obama brought the negative campaign messages on himself by not agreeing to have town hall meetings with him early in the campaign trail. Did anyone catch that? He said Obama mas being called a terrorist, because he didnt do what McCain told him to do. Very old boys club of him. 

4. In my opinion Obama won, hands down won this one. He was cool and collective (except for the occasional stutter) and explained everything (except for ACORN...which I refuse to look up fro myself). There is all this talk about the "undecided voters" and McCain was way to revved up to truly gain their allegiance last night. He seemed angry with the situation. How did it all come to this? My hopes and dream....arghhhhhhh. A fav blogger of mine sums it up with a nice little song- the remix to Deborah Cox's 1998 hit "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here." McCain is

 thinking.....

How did this Obama guy get here?

He's not supposed to be here.

It's bad enough I got beat by Bush last time.

My Purple heart says no, no.

He's not supposed to be here.

Then Obama came along making me lose my mind.

I really wish there were verses. Did anyone else notice how Michelle and Cindy were all cold to each other. Cat fight? I'd pay to see that.

I got empathy for those bears.

While we only have human bums here in New York and the aggressive mutant bums reside in the clean streets of Chicago, in DC...even the animals are feeling the crunch of the pending doom of the economy. No...really, its a Greenpeace guerrilla tactic to bring light to the current struggle of our polar bear brothers up north. 

And its great. Hobo bears (perhaps they worked at Lehman?...too soon?).

PETA should take a lesson. This is how you cleverly convey your eco friendly point. Its clever PETA. Clever.........

UPDATE: Is that bear scratching his balls? I just noticed that.

cat-astrophe.

so...I hate cats.
In general I think they are all sneaky and up to something. When they are not trying to suck out your soul by sitting on your chest when you are sleeping, they are roaming around the house giving you the stank eye like they pay rent there or something. But of all cats, I think I could tolerate this one. And that is due to his natural ability to be the best red light green light contender that i have ever seen in my life.

kudos cat.....kudos.

and yes...I am well aware that the subject line has nothing to do with the matter of this post. But, Im running an experiment. So deal with it.

A farce, thats what.
One can only wonder what little Jackie will get himself into today.
