Pulled from Jezebel

No, seriously. Just read this in its entirety, from the top. Because if you haven’t yet seen this brilliant exchange from David Thorne*, you need to. Right now.

Story goes :

Shannon (the secretary) has lost her cat and has asked David (the graphic designer) to help with a lost poster. This is their email correspondence…
Read from top to bottom….

Kris Lucas: Why can’t I do the things I want to do? There’s so much I know I’m capable of that I never actually do. Why is that?

Arlen Faber: The trick is to realize that you’re always doing what you want to do… always. Nobody’s making you do anything. Once you get that, you see that you’re free and that life is really just a series of choices. Nothing happens to you. You choose.

Check out this teaser of a documentary that showcases what has made top advertising companies but specifically the people behind the companies revolutionary from the beginning. Get inside the head of some very interesting creatives. It is brilliant to see how they succeeded and what continues to make them successful.

Thank you to all of those that attended – so  lucky to have such great friends.

I wanted to share with everyone the patio pics that we took before the debauchery. Oh and the sandbox that we built for the pups – not sure if they realize what it is for just yet.

Retro Style – Patio Furniture
My roommate and I are looking to update our small outdoor patio – I was thinking of adding a little style with some fun and vintage folding chairs like the one in the pic below. Once we are done with the patio I will add pics.

Contemplate This…
I was having a conversation with some friends the other day about our generation (born in the late 70′s and early 80′s) and the lack of interest in having the 8-5 job that lingers in your mind after 5. How nice would it be at the end of the day to not have to think about your job when you leave? Soceity barely allows us enough time to enjoy our friends and family and for what? Money. Success. (who defines what success is?) I’ve always thought that being a Barista would be nice – keep people happy with coffee – most everyone likes caffeine.

Generation Rennovation is what we need – refuse to work so much – Americans are addicted to over indulgence in everything – we are restless, constantly looking for fullfillment and never really finding it – instead we eat more, drink more and hope to find relief in religion – to each his own. Heck, I’ve fallen victim to all of the above – no one is above it! Good luck with the 8-5 monotony.

I just received an email with this video at 5:00p today – funny how coincidental life can be sometimes:

This is an interesting blog (and a book was written) about American dietary habits. **WARNING be prepared – careful before reading.
