melting pumpkins
Dear Residents at Campus Plaza who carved their pumpkins too early,
You mothers sure didn't teach you well. You shouldn't crave your pumpkins till the week before Halloween. Any sooner they become moldy bombs that melt away in the hot afternoon sun. Everyday on the walk to school, I have to pass at least four bombs. They make me want to vomit. Please take care of them before we have to clean up throw up as well. That is all.

despicable me
when and saw despicable me at the dollar theater tonight (a provo treasure). That movie was jammed packed with quotes. I can't wait to watch it with my little brothers. Its just ten times funnier what things with little kids.
This was my favorite line.
Aww man.. My catapillar never turned into a butterfly.
That's a cheeto.

most frustrating critic
"I like the concept, but I think that the executions can be pushed."
Its what everyone says when they don't like an idea, but don't know how to put it.

feedback
Here is the feedback from my workshop in class today. I read a poem about having a crush on a boy.
"The subject itself is fine, if not a bit played out. Then again, the the reality of stomach butterflies will never go away for as long as humans are around, so I suppose we could just keep writing about it until the end of time and it would still hold the same power. From here I'm really not sure what else to say. It is what it is; a raw interpretation of anxiety over a meeting with a crush. If I were to say something, it would be that it seems like the feeling of the piece is a little weak. Your goal in writing a poem of this sort should be to get the reader to feel the same as you do about this thing, and I don't quite feeling like it's doing that. Perhaps I just haven't had a serious crush in a long time and am having hard time recalling the exhilaration, but I'm not feeling any excitement from this. All in all, the poem is fine. It's a simple snapshot of something that we as humans are predisposed to experiencing, and in that it serves it's purpose well."
Can you say vindictive, spinster?

Jackers
This is my little brother Jackson. He fell out of a tree. Isn't he the saddest kid you ever did see? According to him, "Its a very deep bone bruise." He is fine.
He is going to be a mailbox for Halloween.

I like the use of Helvetica, but not feeling the small box.
What are your feeling?

stolen
I stole these post from our family blog.
I never get to see the kids playing in the evening because I am working the 11pm Newscast. Apparently I am missing quite a bit of fun. This is what I saw laying on the front lawn next to the sidewalk this morning.
It’s a pair of roller blades, a superhero cape and a stuff to make a ramp.
Dad misses another seemingly epic evening
As mentioned before, because I work the night shift I miss playing with the kids in the evening. Once again, judging by the artifacts left overnight on the lawn, I missed a great time. Here’s what I found this morning scattered across the front yard this morning when I went out to purchase a diet Cola Beverage at 7-11.

quotes
Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from the AdWeek.
"Be a place that allows the best people to do the best creative work possible" W+K
"All good ideas start somewhere" W+K
"Make the most of the experiences you are given" mcgarrybowen
"Create movements with a purpose" Droga 5
"Reach people where they are" Droga 5
"Do the right thing for the brand" Naked
"There is a better way. People are your partner. Everything Communicates. See the full picture." Naked
"Be humble to ideas" McCann
"Tell an interesting story" McCann
the mecca.
I took a trip. Not any trip. This was a trip with 28 of my classmate: Planners, Managers, Copy Writers and Art Directors. And Jeff. To the mecca of my world. NYC for AdWeek.
It all started with a redeye Sunday night and ended with a rejuvenated love for what I do.
Yes...the week was filled with parties, pizza, performances and tons of fun. Yes I did get to bump heads with the big wigs. David Droga. Gorden Bowen. Russell Simmons. John Legend. Andrew Keller. To name a few.
But the week was so much more. Its kind of hard to explain to an outsider. Every time someone asks me how New York was, I try to explain to them my feelings. But they just don't understand. Advertising is my love. It's so much more then selling product. Its about really making a difference in the world with the skill that I've been given. The Million excited kids about school. The Tap Project raised money for clean water around the world. The Trillion Dollar Campaign raised awareness for injustice in South Africa. In the words of David Droga "We have the responsibility to do good with our minds."
Visiting agencies made me excited to get out there and make a difference. I got a taste of the culture of each agency. I definatly had my favorites...Droga 5, Naked, Grey and mcgarrybowen. But I did come to the conclusion, that I could go and thrive anywhere I get a job. My program has prepared me. I feel that I know the industry. That I have a hold of what is going on. I know how to present and how to work with clients.
Yet there is so much I can still be doing. So many boundaries to push. So much unexplored territory. I still have a lot more growing to do before I finish school. When ever that is.
Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from the week.
