Some ads, a blog; and the blatant misuse of a semicolon.
This past summer, I was fortunate enough to take a Creative Director course at the VCU BrandCenter. I got to hear some great speakers and meet some great people and I did the whole shaking hands and rubbing shoulders and schmoozing thing and pretty much loved the whole experience. During Rick Boyko’s presentation, Rick showed a [...]
And by the looks of it, she’s not going to be a lawyer either. I’m cool with it. Although she’s just twelve months old, she seems to have a fascination with doors. Especially opening and closing them. Now, I love Zoe and she’s pretty entertaining and all and she’s fairly cute when she babbles, but [...]
Today, I was going through some old ideas I had while I was at my old agency. I laughed out loud at what I saw, which is kind of ironic because I rarely laugh out loud and I’ve never ever used LOL to indicate my mood. Wait, I just did. LOL. Twice. LO…(hang on, I [...]

Dad I can’t feel my arm, my boy said as he woke up from his sleep. I said what happened? I don’t know, he said. I squeezed his arm and said can you feel this? Can I feel what, dad? Oh oh I said. Oh oh what dad? I squeezed harder and said can you [...]
Marketers can learn a lot from the Kiss brand. Yep, that Kiss. I saw them in concert a few nights ago. Yep, they’re still touring. And you know something? The music pulled the trigger on my love gun. Yep, I’m using a lyric form a Kiss song to illustrate how impressed I was.
The first [...]
