Favorite game at the office.

My favorite game that I play at the office would have to be ping pong basketball. My cube mate and I have a ping pong ball and a cup. We hang the cup in the middle of our cubicles and shoot the ball into it. We dont do it all of the time but we shoot a couple of times a day. It is actually really hard because you have to be seated while you shoot the ball, and it is located kinda close to the ceiling so you have too be careful not to hit the ceiling. There hasn't been very many made since we started keeping track but I am ahead 8 to 3.

Said sucks at the game. Said is my cube mate not a verb it's a person.

Moving again.

Well my lease is officially up for the place that I am subleasing here in Chicago, and I am moving into a friends place for a couple of weeks. I never really unpack any of my stuff cause I always know that I will just have to pack it up again and go. I am accustom to live out of a suitcase, since I have since I started this blog back in January.

I dont unpack so I dont have to pack again. I found that unpacking just to pack again in a couple of months is really boring and time consuming. I just fold my clothes after I wash them and put them back in the suitcase, so I can go whenever I need to. Some people call me crazy, they are like you are living there for three months why dont you unpack? After you explain it they still look at you like your crazy, but to get out of the conversation you just have to say, "Oh my god a fire breathing dragon fly," and jump for cover. Works every time.

I hope someday I will be able to find a place and unpack, but it doesnt really seem like today. But I can hope and dream.

Excited for football!

Finally sports resume again this weekend. After the long summer of boredom, sports is returning with a vengence. The NCAA Football starts this weekend. I know I will sit down hours just to watch the games. The first game I plan to see is my Iowa Hawkeyes play a warm up against UNI. Northern Iowa isn't a slouch either, it's just that they can not compete against a big program like Iowa.

There are going to be a lot of good games this year cause I think that every passing year the game just gets better and better.

They say that the Big Ten conference is going to be down this year again. I really do not agree with the experts. I do agree that there is one team that is always on top, Ohio State, but anyone can beat anyone in that league. It is really amazing how teams that dont have a chance can pull out a win. I will admit it isn't a top level conference but it doesnt deserve the dogging that it has gotten the past couple of years. The season always ends to early there are still teams that play while the big ten sits on it's ass.

Lets go Hawkeyes, future big ten champs.

I am really getting tired of bikes on the subway.

For some reason the past couple of trips that I have taken on the subway has had someone with a bike on it. This is during rush hour where there really isnt that much room on the subway. Some reason I think that Chicago's subway is much smaller than NYC but I am not interested to much in confirming that fact.

But anyways back to the bike. It is a form of transportation you shouldnt need to take another form of transportation along with it. If you biked there it is healthy for you and you wont be in my way. The city of Chicago is really not that big. Or even take a bus, they should have a place for you to put your damn bike on while you ride so it doesnt have to be in the way of all the passengers. It really is just a huge reck waiting to happen.

Personally an invention that you bikers should make is how to put it on the side of the train where it is completely out of the way. But that would be too simple, almost as simple as bringing your own form of transportation on a transportation system.

I am thinking about buying a smart car just so I can drive it through the doors of the train. How do you like me now.

I am always in for a good cat video

Cat vs. Aquarium - watch more funny videos

There is just something about cat videos that makes me keep watching them. I like cats and have two of them but sometimes they are the weirdest creatures I have ever seen. They really just do what ever it is that they want. Sometimes you think that they are really smart for what they do or you have a really dumb one. I think they are just like people some are smart some are dumb but they all have dumb moments.

Benjamin Button

Last night I rented "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and watched it with my girlfriend. I had been excited to see this movie ever since it came out in theaters, and last night was my first opportunity to do so.

I thought that the movie was ok, not something that was worth all of the hype they put around it when it first came out. I found the acting to be really cheesy and the story line way to predictable. I found myself filling in the blanks way way before the story was told. That made it boring for me. I don't like to sit there and guess what is going to happen only to see it happen instantly. To me the only thing that was interested was the guy that said he had been hit with lightning seven different times. I found that funny but really odd, it was like the man was always there for some odd reason.

Brad Pitt did ok in his role but it really wasn't that great of one. The character never changed throughout the movie, very stagnate. Moving from place to place and some how there was only one person that understood that he was getting younger. I dont know how that could be. The jumps of ages where ridiculous. I mean really at one time he looked like he was 70 then it was 50 then he was 30 for a long ass time.

The girl got really annoying, she liked him, she hated him, she liked him, she hated him, she loved him, she let him go, only to get back with him at the end. She had no depth as an actress in my opinion, she never made me believe. for a while she never aged it was ridiculous. She looked the same until the very end when she was an adult.

One thing I really didn't like about the movie as well was the time that it was set. They put no tension in it. No one seemed to care what color skin was on the other person, they where equals. Sure there was some moments of racism but that was for about five seconds when he was on the bus with the guy. Then they had a Cherokee Indian on the tug boat that made no sense to me. They would have never allowed that in the military at that time. He would be on the front lines cause he was part of the military code that was used at that time.

They introduced characters left and right but you never got to know any of them. Such as his sister fro Queeny. I mean she had one role and that was it. I dont even know if she is the one at the end who said he is with us or not. I think it would be but her character really fells short. I never got the connection of the characters other than the love which I also thought was week.

I give this movie 1 and a half out of five starts. I would recommend people stay away from it.

People are stupid

Banana on Fire - watch more funny videos

Everyday I look for something to entertain me as we all do, and everyday I find really weird videos and ask myself, are they really this stupid? Do they really think that this act will make them rich and famous?

Yes people are this stupid, it happens all of the time. There seems to be someone out there that wants to beat someone else's stupidity, it is a dumb verses dumber act out there. Only the the dumb survive.

I hope they don't think that some of this stuff will make them famous. Do you really want to be famous for lighting yourself on fire?

I know that I can be dumb sometimes but I am never that dumb.

Damn Farve.

I was all about Farve coming to the Vikings earlier this year. But now I really don't think that it is a good idea. I wanted him there for training camp, so he can mesh with the players. But he said that he was going to stay retired and now he isnt. I think it is too late for him to come and make a big difference.
I really have mixed feelings about this because I think he is one of the greatest QB's to ever play. He will help the Vikings from the get go because he is a vast improvement over the two they are using now. If his health stays up I could see the Vikes going back to the playoffs with a first week bye.
My only fear is that he joined the team too late.

I feel like crap

Last night I had a little malfunction with my contacts, again. Some how every couple of years the same thing happens over and over. My contacts get something in them when I am asleep and starts to cut my eye. Now my right eye is all bloodshot and in pain. Thankfully I woke up before it could cut deeper. I have had it where If I look at light it causes the greatest pain that i have ever had.

Today really sucks but by tomorrow my eye should be somewhat back to normal. Someday I am going to get that lazer surgery and forget about stupid glasses and contact lens'. I hope to do it as soon as I get a job. That way I will have some backing to pay for it. Then I wouldnt have to go through this shit.

Yeah I am in CMYK magazine.

On saturday I heard some really awesome news. One of the ads I did is going to be in CMYK magazine in October. One of my partners for that project called me all the way from India to tell me the good news. I am really excited, it is the first time I have ever been published in a magazine. I have tried several times to get some of my writing samples in a magazine but it never has any luck at all. I really can not believe that I am actually going to be published.
The work that is getting published was for Northface. My partners did a really awesome job photo shopping it and I think I wrote a good line to go with it. I am just excited to get a magazine that will display my work and have my name next to it, it is really cool.

Love it.

Thinking that every girl should get one.

This is why I do what I do.

This is an example why I want to be in advertising. This ad is long not a conventual ad that you would see on TV but it is still great. It keeps you interested from start to finish. It informs people that don't know anything about the brand to know the brand. They have a well know Scottish actor to do the voice and to be in it. He is in one of my favorite movies Trainspotting. I want to write something like this really bad. I will have my time and I will do it.

Stripper pole and Miley Cyrus.

No surprise that a performer causes a stir after a performance at some show. Last night it was Miley Cyrus who caused the ruckus at the Teen Choice Awards. Even though the show hasn't aired yet there is leaked footage of the teeny bopper standing next to a pole. Some reason the pole is on an ice cream cart, nothing like cold strippers and ice cream. It really wasn't even that provocative but some news organization is going crazy over it. Saying that a girl shouldn't do things like that and wear that skimpy of an outfit on it. Well the outfit really isn't the problem. You see girls showing off what they have more and more. She wore shorts and a shirt that really isn't that provocative. I see girls wear that stuff all the time, and even shorter ones than what she had on. As for the pole, she didnt do anything with it. She didn't dance (not that she can) on it or anything she held the damn thing for balance big whoop. When I first saw the story I thought she was going to do something crazy then it was just lame.

People turn down free beer.

When you hear "Free beer and food," you would think people would come running wouldn't you? I thought so too. I mean that is what I did when I heard it. I made a B-line straight to the party.
I went to the Optimus party in Downtown Chicago. It is a production house that throws a huge party every year. It is where they invite all the ad agencies around and they just supply everything.
But when I tried to get some of my friends to come saying hey there is free beer and food here they didnt want to come. I told them not to worry about it and that they should come anyways. But they didnt. So that is why I writing this post because I never thought in a million years that people would deny free beer. I mean when you give anything out for free people come, but if you give beer out I always thought people would break down the door. I was wrong. I really couldnt believe it.
Ask yourself would you go for free beer and be in a huge party or would you back out?

try not to laugh.

Artsy video

I really liked this video when I viewed it. It does a really good job with color and a story. It is interesting and very visually cool. I hope you like.

We Just got done.

Today was the last day that I will be working on Labatt Blue. My intern team and I finally presented our final. I really just want to go home and pass out. I was up yesterday from 8am-6am. Then I woke back up at 8am because we had to get ready to pitch. It has been a really interesting week. No sleep and a lot of work. I hope the work is good.

Working on the intern project.

For the rest of the week we will be working on an intern project, Labatt Blue. I think I have already mentioned this earlier but right now I can not remember. This week is crunch time, it has to be finished by Thursday to present it to the judges. We are working off of a cool idea but I am finding myself stuck with headlines right now. I dont really know where to go with it. So I sit and look at other ads for inspiration, I hope I find it so I can get the headlines done by today.
