Balls, I decided I need to start writing/posting again. I’ll start with this:

My latest bit for Sympatico

This one was pretty fun to research: inspired by a piece I heard on This American Life, I went out looking for 5 odd economic indicators. I found some pretty weird stuff.

Go see.

I haven’t encountered anything this bad since I rented Michael Mann’s Public Enemies.

Oh hell yes

The gag is ok, but the logo is outstanding!

Gee, what’s this?

Oh nothing, only the greatest movie ever made, that’s all.

You couldn’t make this story up. Watch, enjoy, and thank Finn for sending it my way.

Then tell me how you did in the comments. I scored a 47.

Hey, yo, what’s crack-a-lackin’ on the job front, y’all?

Check this: how’s about you and me stay up all night and maybe even ball some weekends squeezin’ out corny-ass creative for some failing automaker? Can I get a “hell yeah” for Consumer Packaged Goods y’all?

Throw ‘em in the air if you wanna sell cereal, motherfuckers!

That would be sick, right?

Word, yo, you need to hop in your whip (that ‘96 Sentra you inherited from your mom), drive your gangsta ass down to BBDO Dusseldorf and hook up a dope gig dropping phat shelf-talkers for Crispix and snot-stick inserts for zines like Modern Bride and shit!

Y’all feelin’ me?

Tight, right? So let’s strap up and do this, bitchez! Drop the brief, let’s rock some creative! This ain’t no fairy tale, this is real life, ya heard?

B to the Bizzle to the Dizzle-Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

F*ck yeah! I work in advertising!

Now get back to work before I outsource your ass.

A thought

editor — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:02:05 +0000

I think when you’re at a bar or a party and people start talking about The Hills, Jon and Kate or one of those shows, you should just silently stand up and leave the room. Don’t even grab your jacket.

What time is it?

editor — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:22:21 +0000

Time to read this.

Hat tip to Ryan.

New Direction

I didn’t think the Rolling Stones had any new ideas.

I was so wrong.

Oh the humanity

FriendsEAT is reporting some disturbing news:
Stock up on Slim Jims, everyone. They will be in short supply during the coming months. ConAgra, the company that makes the Slim Jim, has not produced the beef jerky treat since a Garner, North Carolina processing plant exploded last month, killing three employees. This was the only facility in the country that made the dried beef snack and plans are not yet finalized to have them produced elsewhere.

Fans of the Slim Jim are already hoarding whatever supplies they can find at their local truck stops and convenience stores, even willing to take boxes that have expiration dates from earlier in the year.

Because, you know, if you can’t get Slim Jims, there are literally no other jerky options available in the US.

So they’re expired, who cares? This is too important a time to turn into some kind of germ freak. Buy! Buy! Buy!

What the screaming hell is this?

What Happpens When Shit Happens?

editor — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:04:00 +0000

So long story short, my business Twitter account was temporarily suspended, and for no apparent reason. Apparently, I’m not alone.

Which reminds me of that Michael Jackson song, which reminds me: did you hear he’s dead?

It got me wondering: what do you do? I’m not paying for the service, and I’m certainly not entirely reliant on it, but it’s proven a very useful tool at times.

So what am I supposed to do? Basically, I can do one thing: wait.

That’s sort of weird. We don’t wait anymore.

If Shitter were a paid service, would it work better? Maybe. But nobody would use it.

This is the first time something on the Internet has truly screwed up for me. I’m sure it’ll get sorted, but it’s weird to think that I really can’t do ANYTHING.

Thank God

Well, it’s been a while since I posted, but sometimes you just see something you need to get out there.

RockPeaks.com - The Greatest Show Online

editor — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:05:20 +0000

My friend Barn’s site, RockPeaks.com, went live this week, and it’s looking pretty awesome.

I worked a lot with Barn on the site and can attest to his passion for both music in general and this project in particular.

Billed as “the world’s largest database of live rock and roll video” (man, we fought a lot about the term database - and I lost) the site serves as an aggregator of awesome clips and a community that allows users to comment, review and share knowledge about those great performance clips that stir a little something-something deep in your gut.

Stuart Berman has already given it a real nice writeup.

Get your ass over there and sign up!

Congrats, Barn!

Has it come to this?

Some nice beats in this. Buscemi’s always so bloody good.

Stavenhagen’s Food Pawn Shop with Steve Buscemi and Will Ferrell from Adam “Ghost Panther” McKay

Nice idea

LMAO.

RIP Lux Interior

editor — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:51:41 +0000

I love The Cramps, and I just found out their lead singer, Lux Interior, died yesterday.

You can read an awesome obit here. Or just watch this ass-kicking 1978 performance at CBGBs and respect the madness.
