Cut Me

By , August 16, 2009 1:11 am

Cutting may seem crazy to some. But, I finally get it… sometimes, the physical pain helps take your mind off the emotional pain. Sometimes, the pain inside smothers you until you can no longer breath. That physical pain? It lets you breath; if only for a minute.

Priceless Work

  • - Having your competitor pay for a snazzy design: $20,000
  • - Surfing the Web for How To’s: $0
  • - Knowing HTML and how to jerry-rig things? PRICELESS

The Devil Wears…

DevilI wish I could take the last two months back and start over. I’d do things differently.

The old saying goes, “Fast, good, cheap. Pick any two. You can’t have all three.”

If I did it over? Well, sometimes the drive to be the best comes with consequences and a price even too high for me.

Oh well. Live, learn, get stronger.

I Wish

I wish I could get out. I’m in a situation I absolutely hate. I know it’s wrong. And I know that if I turn back now, I’m going to lose a friend. What’s a girl to do?

Movies of the '80s

By , August 8, 2009 10:05 pm

This week, Director and Writer John Hughes passed away. He directed eight movies and wrote countless scripts. Some include The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, Curly Sue, Beethoven and Home Alone. Classic movies, huh? With classics, always come memorable quotes. Here’s a few of my favorites:

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:
A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Pretty in Pink:
You said you couldn’t be with someone who didn’t believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn’t believe in myself.

Andie, hon. Listen, it’s after 7:00. Don’t waste good lip gloss.

Sixteen Candles:
Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself? It’s bad for your complexion.

When you don’t have anything, you don’t have anything to lose. Right?

That’s why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they’d call them something else.

The Breakfast Club:
You ask me one more question and I’m beating the shit out of you.

We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.

I could keep going on and on, instead, check out this compilation or get your fill at IMDB.

Too Late

By , August 7, 2009 7:48 am

Do you ever feel like it’s too late? Like you chose a path and are too far down it to turn back? You feel guilty for the hard work and effort that every one’s put in, but at the end of the day, your gut screams, NO, turn back, go right instead of left? Yeah… I just don’t know how to say, “Stop” without hurting people.

Wrong Path

Don't Keep Up

This post, Don’t Keep Up with Social Media, had a great messsage and one worth following:

Don’t Keep Up

While valid, fun and worth watching from the corner of your eye, it’s silly to chase and try every new beta invite. For most brands, that’s not where the massive reach is. If new technologies ever reach the mass, well, it’ll be YEARS from now.

Stop chasing. Start focusing on the business problems and solutions for today. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll get ahead of some real issues.

Too Scared

Scared Eggs

I’m currently too scared to be enthusiastic. It’s crushing me.

ESPN's Moronic Move

By , August 4, 2009 10:36 pm

I’m cranky. I feel like I’m on some crazy Reality Show. I hate blogging about Twitter. Yep, this is going to be one snarky blog post :)

Let’s give you the background:
ESPN says no more twittering about work stuff

Why?
They just don’t see the ROI

Why this is dumb:

  1. I feel like no goal or strategy was thought out
  2. If you put some thought into it, Twitter is totally monetizable and trackable. Sometimes it may require effort. Gasp! The Shock! The Horror! God forbid I lift a finger
  3. Somewhere today I stumbled on a quote that went something like, “We no longer search for news. News finds us.” If ESPN isn’t finding me, I’m not the demo visiting ESPN.com. I did though when it popped into my twitter stream :)
  4. The sports fanatics? 140 characters will not be enough. It will only whet their appetite for more ESPN more often
  5. Other sports sites aren’t doing it. Yet. Kudos ESPN. You’re probably not breaking news
  6. Congratulations ESPN. You’ve alienated your sports fans and cut off new ways of garnering additional traffic. Just keep running those display banners. That 0.02% CTR is sure to bring tons of traffic in.

Usually, I enjoy playing Devil’s Advocate and throwing in the pros of some one’s decision. But nope, not tonight. Does ESPN have some valid concerns? Sure. Do I intend to talk about them? Nope. Every one’s a moron tonight.
