I’m always experimenting with something. This post happens to be part of the 10 Guys, 10 Drinks, 10 Weeks experiment. You can see the others here. Enjoy the laughs, I sure am! Guy #7. Drink #7. Week #7. Similar to Week 6, I have another confession. It’s not really week 7. I finally decided to […]
I started 10 Guys, 10 Drinks, 10 Weeks for almost all the wrong reasons. I stopped it for (what I thought were) all the right reasons. I tired of the project when I was 60% complete. Today, I think it’s time to bring it back for all the right reasons. And, what better week than […]
It’s short. It’s immediate. It’s all things I can do on my own… no “better half” needed, you know, just in case 🙂 See the Northern Lights Visit London, Greece and Ireland Cross off a few more items on my sex list Visit the Warhol museum Spend my last days in St. Thomas on a […]
Aside from all my gripes with BDA’s, I finally narrowed it down to the three main reasons why I dislike ’em so: Nothing’s done on a handshake. Everything is a process. It’s corporate. I hate corporate bullshit. There’s always an over-the-top anal-retentive AM assigned to your account. Someone, somewhere thinks this is the perfect fit […]
I like to believe that life is a series of moments. I call them rides. People come into your life for a reason. And sometimes, as painful as it is, they also go. Sometimes, they come back, but not often. Matt came into my life to teach me about first loves. He also taught me […]
I’m always searching for answers. Maybe it’s the kid in me. When I was little, my mom used to say, “The answer machine is broken” after I had asked “why” too many times. Maybe it’s the writer/journalist in me. Maybe it’s a girl thing. Maybe it’s a me thing. Either way, I’ve always liked getting […]
I build a lot of walls. And sometimes, I let them down just enough to let someone in. Other times, I break them entirely. And sometimes, you build walls because you don’t believe in the “impossible.” But, what happens when the impossible becomes possible? What happens when you want something (or someone) so badly, that […]
This whole year, all I’ve done is turn a corner only to be dragged down into the abyss again. When will the rip tide let go? When is it my turn for things to go as planned or wanted? I hope it’s soon, because there’s only so long someone can fight a rip tide.
Just like the White House and Pope are kicking butt and taking names in the interactive space, so is Coca-Cola. When such a large brand can think about social media in these four, simple and real ways, it makes me wonder, “Why can’t we all?” At a Blogger Outreach presentation, Coke talked about four “truths”: […]
At iMedia’s Agency Summit this past week, one of the speakers talked about 3M’s motto since the 1940’s being, “Hire good people and leave them alone.” I love that idea. I wholeheartedly agree with that idea. Give people goals, encouragement and enough thought-provoking questions to take them to the next level, but on a day-to-day, […]
